Outdoor Showers That Bring the Outside In

Want to add a little resort living to your home? Outdoor showers are popular extensions of indoor bathrooms, offering a real luxury outdoor experience.

Popular outdoor shower ideas include a connection to an adjoining pool or spa, space to sit down and dress, accomodations for enjoying a morning coffee or other beverage, and walls or screens that offer privacy yet aren't positioned to block views of the larger outdoor space.

Get some ideas for your outdoor shower from the following examples, such as this spacious contemporary bathroom design by Slifer Designs featuring a sleek freestanding tub and stainless double vanity, and of course an outdoor shower just a few steps beyond floor-to-ceiling sliding doors. A natural stone wall offers privacy and an open view.

Access from Inside and Out

A large sliding door opens this bathroom to the outdoors, creating a serene place to relax and unwind after a rejuvenating shower.

Access both from the homeowner's bathroom as well as from the outdoor space can make an outdoor shower perfect for a calming alfresco shower as well as simply washing off after a day of outdoor activities (like a dip in the pool).

Add an Outdoor Tub, Too

Use Natural Elements

Existing natural elements in a landscape lend themselves to an exciting shower experience in this design.

Surrounded By Nature

This simple shower's picturesque surroundings make it a relaxing place to clean up outside. A framed living wall adds interest behind the shower, while large shrubs and a tree lend privacy and natural beauty. A simple box filled with stone acts as the shower floor and adds another layer of design.

Sculptural Tiles

An outdoor shower can be as simple or as elaborate as you choose. Textured tiles and a fluid, curved shape make this backyard feature a focal point.

Weekend Project Shower

A few extra feet of fencing and a water source is all it took to create this casual outdoor shower. A sliding wooden door provides maximum privacy.

Mosaic Outdoor Shower With Lizard Design

This playful lizard mosaic adds a delightful touch to a semi-private outdoor shower. Ingenuous hanging soap and shampoo containers stop any spillage in its tracks.

Although the ceiling is open to the midnight sky, this Asian-inspired outdoor shower provides plenty of privacy with double doors.

Sleek Lines

A contemporary stainless steel fixture and frosted glass enclosure make this outdoor shower refined enough to live inside the house. An adjacent dressing area adds convenience and function.

Spa-Like Experience

As soon as the sun goes down, LED ribbon light illuminates the shower floor made from a combination of jellybean glass pebbles and epoxy.

Modern Country Outdoor Shower

This galvanized metal outdoor shower enclosure looks right at home in this vacation spot created from an old grain silo. Surrounded by miles of farmland, this al fresco shower has plenty of built-in privacy.
