If you’re remodeling a bathroom, you’ve most likely considered the sleek elegance of modern shower designs. Modern bathrooms are sleek, clean, and easy on the eyes. The modern look blends well with open and airy spaces, such as wet rooms and walk-in showers, giving your bathroom a spa feel and allowing plenty of room for pampering. Add decorative tile, luxury shower heads, and smooth marble to finish the look.

Discover the possibilities of how to create a modern oasis for daily routines with KALLISTA. Here are some of our favorite modern shower ideas for a relaxing and rejuvenating result.

Dark & Sleek With Touches of Nature

Transform your shower into a tropical oasis with low lighting, leafy plants, and a fully appointed shower system. The best rain showerheads feature air-induction technology, creating a cascading flow of water that makes you feel as if you’re bathing in a waterfall under the canopy of leaves in the rainforest. Add a skylight to let more nature permeate your modern sanctuary.

Bright Design for a Small Space

Space is often an issue when it comes to separating your tub and shower. If you don’t have the square footage for a walk-in, using marble to cover your floor, tub, and walls gives off the lofty appearance of a spa. This all-over marble approach can make your shower modern, even in the smallest spaces. Consider using light marble or quartz, such as white Carrara, as dark colors can shrink the room.

Modern Walk-In Shower With Bench & Handrail

Spacious walk-in showers are the perfect opportunity for comfortable accommodations. Seating and handrails in your modern shower offer extra mobility. Unlacquered brass or brushed bronze luxury showerheads can add a debonair flair to the overall look. Use a mosaic tile to add a bit of personality.

Patterns & Textures for Your Modern Walk-In Shower

Multi-textured patterns add visual interest to a minimalist modern shower. Combine a pale ash wood pattern with an earthy brown to give your bathroom a rustic feel. Keep the look modern with additions like a handheld showerhead and sleek faucets with dynamic lines.

Multiple Showerheads

Sometimes you want the serenity of modern rain shower heads, or perhaps you need just a quick body rinse before work. Maybe you prefer a head massage with strong pressure after a long day. Having various options will make your shower superior each and every time.
