21+ Alcove Shower Designs, Ideas

An alcove shower is a good option if you want to have that separate bathing space where you can do quick clean ups or rinsing after a luxurious soak in your tub.

The open space plan design for this bathroom allows for an inclusion of an alcove shower. The dark wall used for the shower area is a nice contrast to the light colored granite base used for the floor and the wall panel – for the tub and shower side. The black wall extends to the rest of the room and it creates a nice balance to the whiteness of the stand-alone tub.
