Designing a small bathroom can feel like a challenge, but choosing the right shower can completely transform the space. With smart planning and the right products, even the smallest bathroom can feel open, practical, and stylish. The key is understanding how layout, materials, and design choices work together.
One of the first decisions to make is shower type. In compact bathrooms, corner showers are often a great solution. They make use of otherwise wasted space and keep the centre of the room clear. Quadrant or offset quadrant enclosures are especially popular, offering a comfortable showering area without dominating the room.
Walk-in showers are another excellent option for small bathrooms. While they might sound like they need lots of space, a well-designed walk-in shower can actually make a room feel larger. By removing bulky enclosures and replacing them with a single glass screen, you create a more open layout and improve light flow.
Glass choice plays a huge role in how spacious a bathroom feels. Clear, frameless glass is ideal for small spaces as it removes visual barriers and allows the eye to travel across the room uninterrupted. Thick frames or frosted panels can visually “cut up” the space, making the bathroom feel smaller than it really is.
The size and profile of the shower tray also matter. Slimline or low-profile trays help keep the floor level feeling consistent, which visually expands the room. In some cases, a level-access or wet-room-style base can be used, creating a seamless look that’s both modern and practical.
Storage is another important consideration. In a small bathroom, clutter quickly becomes noticeable. Built-in wall niches for shampoo and soap help keep the shower area tidy without adding shelves or caddies that eat into space. Choosing minimal fixtures and concealed valves also helps maintain a clean, streamlined look.
Lighting and colour choices shouldn’t be overlooked. Light-coloured tiles, large-format tiles, and consistent finishes throughout the shower and bathroom can all make a small space feel bigger. Matching the shower fittings to other bathroom accessories creates cohesion and avoids visual distraction.
Finally, think about long-term usability. A shower that’s easy to access, simple to clean, and durable will serve you well for years to come. Small bathrooms benefit most from practical, low-maintenance solutions that don’t compromise on comfort or appearance. Choosing the right shower for a small bathroom isn’t about squeezing something in — it’s about making smart design choices. With the right layout, glass, and finishes, your shower can become the feature that makes your bathroom feel bigger, brighter, and better to use every day.

As we move into 2026, bathroom design continues to evolve beyond pure functionality and into the realm of everyday luxury and wellbeing. At The Shower Experts, we’re seeing a clear shift towards bathrooms that feel calm, intentional, and inspired by high-end hotel design, spaces that offer a genuine sense of escape at home.
One of the biggest trends for 2026 is the continued rise of boutique hotel styling. Homeowners are favouring clean lines, large-format tiles, and seamless finishes that create a refined, uncluttered look. Neutral tones such as soft greys, warm stone, and muted earthy shades are leading the way, often paired with subtle veining or textured surfaces to add depth without overwhelming the space. These designs are timeless, elegant, and easy to live with.
Walk-in showers remain at the heart of modern bathrooms, with frameless glass, minimal profiles, and concealed drainage becoming the norm. In 2026, it’s less about making a statement and more about achieving effortless simplicity. Linear drains, flush shower trays, and carefully considered layouts allow the shower area to blend seamlessly into the rest of the room, enhancing both flow and functionality.
Another key trend is the focus on practical luxury. Homeowners want bathrooms that look exceptional but also perform brilliantly day to day. Easy-clean surfaces, wall-hung sanitaryware, concealed cisterns, and high-quality fittings are all becoming standard choices. Matte black and brushed finishes continue to be popular, offering contrast and character while maintaining a sophisticated edge.
Lighting also plays an increasingly important role in 2026 bathroom design. Layered lighting, combining functional spotlights with softer ambient illumination helps create a space that feels relaxing and adaptable from morning through to evening. Large mirrors and clever use of natural light further enhance the sense of space and calm.
At The Shower Experts, our focus for 2026 is on delivering bathrooms that balance design, comfort, and longevity. By combining expert installation with thoughtful material choices and attention to detail, we help our clients achieve bathrooms that feel luxurious today and remain timeless for years to come.
If you’re planning a bathroom or shower upgrade in 2026, now is the perfect time to invest in a space that’s beautifully designed, expertly built, and tailored to the way you live.

As we head into 2026, one of the clearest bathroom trends we’re seeing at The Shower Experts is the continued move away from traditional baths and towards well-designed, spacious shower areas. While baths will always have a place in some homes, more homeowners are choosing to remove them in favour of practical, stylish shower solutions that better suit modern living.
Lifestyle changes play a huge role in this shift. Busy households, smaller bathroom footprints, and a growing focus on convenience mean that showers are often used far more frequently than baths. In response, clients are investing in larger walk-in showers that feel luxurious, open, and hotel-inspired, rather than holding onto a bath that rarely gets used.
For 2026, the emphasis is firmly on space and flow. Removing the bath allows for improved layouts, making bathrooms feel bigger, brighter, and more functional. Frameless glass panels, low-profile or flush shower trays, and continuous floor tiling help create a seamless finish that enhances both appearance and accessibility.
Another key factor driving this trend is accessibility and future-proofing. Many homeowners are thinking long-term, opting for showers that are easier and safer to use at every stage of life. Walk-in showers with minimal thresholds, non-slip surfaces, and discreet grab solutions provide peace of mind without compromising on style.
Design-wise, showers in 2026 are all about refined simplicity. Large-format tiles, neutral colour palettes, and subtle textures create calm, spa-like environments. Features such as rainfall shower heads, recessed shelving, and concealed plumbing elevate the experience, transforming the shower into the focal point of the bathroom.
There’s also a strong focus on practical luxury. Easy-clean glass, durable materials, and expertly installed waterproofing ensure that these spaces don’t just look good, but perform exceptionally well day to day. By removing the bath, homeowners often find they can invest more into higher-quality finishes and fittings within the shower area itself.
At The Shower Experts, we specialise in bath-to-shower conversions that maximise space, comfort, and style. For 2026, “baths out, showers in” isn’t just a trend — it’s a smart, future-ready choice that reflects how people really use their bathrooms.
If you’re considering an upgrade this year, a professionally designed walk-in shower could be the perfect place to start.
