As you know, I've always been a big fan of functional and aesthetic bathroom designs (I'm always looking for upgrades that will impress). Today, we're going to talk about one of the hottest bathroom trends of 2025: corner tubs with shower enclosures. These artifacts are taking over Pinterest, home improvement blogs, and if you look at my email volume—it's on your makeover list, too.
To be honest, I totally understand the craze. The corner tub with shower enclosure is the perfect combination of practicality and luxury. If you're thinking of upgrading your bathroom, or just want to keep up with the trends, read on. I put together a list of all the reasons why a design can get people hired.
#1 // They’re Perfect for Small Bathrooms
If you don't have much bathroom space (hello, city apartment folks), a corner tub with a shower enclosure is a space-saving superhero. Unlike traditional bathtubs that run across one wall, corner bathtubs fit neatly into an underused corner, freeing up more valuable floor space.
The built-in shower enclosure? A chef’s kiss. It eliminates the need to install a separate shower, which is great for small spaces. Seriously, if you've ever felt like you're playing Tetris in the bathroom, this is your ultimate answer.
#2 // Two Words: Spa Vibes
Want to turn your bathroom into a small relaxation sanctuary? The corner tub with shower enclosure exudes luxury. Picture this: soaking in a deep, curved tub while natural light streams through a glass shower enclosure. Doesn't that sound dreamy?
Add candles, fluffy towels, or even a rainfall showerhead, and the whole experience is instantly elevated. It's like having a private spa in your home—without the high cost of going to a spa.
#3 // They’re Family-Friendly
If you have children (or pets… let’s not forget our furry friends), you'll super love the versatility of the corner tub and shower enclosure. Easy time: The tub is deep enough for splashing, but compact enough to clean up.
And for those days when you’re rushing out the door? The enclosed shower gives you a quick, convenient option. Honestly, it’s the best of both worlds for busy households.
#4 // A Design Lover’s Dream
Let's talk about looks - because honestly, who doesn't want a bathroom that looks like a magazine cover? Corner tubs with shower enclosures come in a variety of funky designs, from minimal modern to vintage elegance.
Glass shower enclosures, in particular, are big winners in the design world. It can make your bathroom look bigger, brighter and more advanced. Coupled with some popular tiles, and you’ll have your guests swooning over your “Pinterest-perfect” bathroom.
#5 // They’re Designed for Modern Living
Let's talk about innovation - a corner tub with a shower enclosure is not only nice to look at, but full of features designed for modern living. Many models now come with high-tech options such as built-in massage jets, LED scene lights, and even smart temperature control systems (yes, your tub can remember your favorite water temperature).
Some shower enclosures also come with built-in shelves or storage space to make the bathroom cleaner and get rid of clutter. Whether you're looking for a minimalist design or prefer some futuristic convenience features, this design fits seamlessly into a modern lifestyle.
It's not just about appearance (although the level of appearance is impeccable) - it's about how to serve you in a practical, clever way.
#6 // Easy Maintenance, Super Intimate
Okay, I know what you're probably thinking: "A glass shower enclosure looks like a hassle to maintain." But hear me out. Most modern enclosures are designed with easy-clean coatings that repel water stains and soap scum (bless technology).
And the tub itself? Since corner tubs are compact, they’re quicker to clean than those long, wall-hugging ones. Less surface area, less scrubbing—win-win!
#7 // They Feel Luxurious
You might think that something as chic as a corner tub with a shower enclosure would cost a fortune, but there are options for every budget. From affordable acrylic models to high-end freestanding tubs with custom glass, there’s something for everyone.
The trick? Shop smart. Look for sales, bundles, or even factory-direct options to save without sacrificing style.
Q&A
Let’s tackle a few common questions I get about corner tubs with shower enclosures:
1. Do they work in large bathrooms, too?
Absolutely! While they save space, they're not just for small bathrooms. In larger spaces, they add a cozy, defined corner that balances the room’s layout beautifully.
2. Are they hard to install?
It's actually not too much trouble, but I recommend calling a professional—especially if you need to adjust your plumbing. Trust me, it'll make it easier for you.
3. Can the shower enclosure be customized?
Totally! From frosted or textured glass to black-framed panels (very on-trend, by the way), you can tailor the enclosure to match your style perfectly.
4. Do they work with all bathroom styles?
For sure. Whether you're into modern minimalism, farmhouse style, or something in between, there's always a corner tub and shower enclosure that blend perfectly.
Whew! That was a LOT of info about corner tubs with shower enclosures—but I hope it was helpful. These are more than just a trend; they’re a practical, stylish upgrade that makes sense for so many homes.
