There are plenty of types of showers to fit every lifestyle, bathroom layout, and redesign budget under the sun. Find some inspiration in this blog!

Your shower can kickstart your morning, help you ease into your evening, or even give you a much-needed mid-day reset. Whatever the case, a great shower isn’t just a place to cleanse your body; it should be a space that helps you get the job done and feel your best.

That’s why, at True North, we’re dedicated to bringing your dream shower to life. When planning a bathroom remodel, choosing the right shower for your bathroom is a functional and style-driven decision. Luckily, there are plenty of types of showers to fit every lifestyle, bathroom layout, and redesign budget under the sun. Find some inspiration below! 

1. Tub-Shower Combo 

Get the best of both worlds—and maximize space—with a tub-shower combo. This is a classic, versatile option that’s perfect for families and smaller bathrooms. It provides the flexibility of a quick shower or a long soak, making great use of space without sacrificing comfort.

2. Walk-In Showers 

If you’re opting for a sleek, modern aesthetic, walk-in showers can be a fantastic choice. Not only do they create an open, airy feel in the space, but they can also be a great fit for both compact and spacious bathrooms. Frameless glass panels complete a clean, contemporary look.

3. Curbless Showers

Seamless entry and spa-inspired design—what’s not to love? For greater accessibility and a sleek sense of style, eliminate the raised threshold of a typical fixture with a curbless shower. They’re great for opening up the space and making a cramped, cluttered bathroom a thing of the past.

4. Rainfall Showers 

Why not let yourself live in the lap of luxury? When it comes to a relaxing shower, nothing is better than a rainfall showerhead. Installed on the ceiling or a high wall mount, these showers mimic rain and turn your bathroom into an oasis perfect for unwinding at the end of a long day.

5. Handheld Showers 

Practical, flexible, and functional. Handheld showerheads make bathing your little ones and furry friends a breeze—as well as cleaning the shower. And if you want the best of both worlds, the good news is that these often come alongside a fixed showerhead, so you don’t have to choose!

6. Body Showers (or Body Sprays) 

Want the spa at home? Body showers feature multiple jets along the shower walls for a full-body water massage. With customizable spray settings, they’re a favorite for luxury remodels.

7. Eco-Friendly Showers 

Save the Earth by saving water! For eco-friendly shower options, consider low-flow showerheads or smart systems that regulate temperature and water usage. Environmentally conscious homeowners can have peace of mind knowing they’re making a difference—without sacrificing functionality. 

8. Steam Showers 

Take relaxation to the next level with a steam shower. These enclosed units create a personal steam room in your bathroom, delivering spa-level comfort and wellness benefits. Keep in mind, though, that proper ventilation and waterproofing are essential!

9. Corner Showers 

Tight space? No problem. Make the most of the square footage you’ve got with corner showers, which maximize every inch of your bathroom. Sliding or bi-fold doors can be customized to fit unique layouts for a perfectly tailored design.

10. Dual Shower Systems 

Why settle for one showerhead when you can have two? Dual shower systems combine a fixed head with a handheld or even two overhead sprays for a customizable experience. They’re perfect for couples or anyone who wants extra flexibility and water coverage.
