Another shower feature mentioned often is a handheld shower; rebecca1950 pointed out that it’s “the easiest way to clean.” I strongly agree; I almost did not add a handheld shower to the large walk-in shower in my last bathroom, because I didn’t really like the look of one. But it sure came in handy when cleaning the shower floor and wall tiles. I’ll never go without one again.

2. Natural beauty. Want a bathing area that’s welcoming and serene? Then drawing design inspiration from nature is a great way to warm a typically very hard room of the house and infuse the space with a calming vibe. It’s one of the key bathroom trends of 2015, according to designers Simona Castagna and Darren Genner of Minosa. An easy way to incorporate this trend into a bathroom design, Castagna and Genner say, is to introduce earthy materials like natural stone or wood-look tiles. The luxe bath seen here features marble floors and an onyx countertop, as well as a walnut-plank feature wall.

Make sure the niche is large enough for Costco-size shampoo bottles. A bench in the shower is especially useful as a universal design element (and a place to prop legs on while shaving).
