Shower styles that fit your space

A good shower can completely change how your bathroom feels and functions. Whether you are creating a compact ensuite, upgrading a family bathroom or designing a modern retreat, choosing the right shower style is key. At Mitre 10, you will find a wide range of showers to suit every layout, size and style.

Key takeaways

  • The best shower for your space depends on layout, size and how you use your bathroom.
  • Corner, alcove, and walk-in showers each have unique benefits.
  • The right shower choice can make your bathroom feel bigger, brighter, and more functional.

Choosing the right shower for your space

Understanding your wall setup is the first step in narrowing down the right shower. Whether you are working with two existing walls in a corner, three walls in an alcove, or planning a more open design, your layout will guide the type of enclosure that fits best. Start by identifying how many walls you have available and how much space you can dedicate, then explore the configuration that suits your bathroom.

Corner Showers

Corner Showers

Corner showers are a popular choice for smaller bathrooms or when you need to save space. Their compact shape fits neatly into unused corners, making them ideal for apartments, ensuites, or second bathrooms.
If you want a clean and simple look, choose a fully enclosed corner shower with sliding or pivot doors. For a more open feel, a curved or frameless option can make the area appear larger while keeping it modern and minimal.
