We all want a bright and spacious bathroom. And while I’ve previously written about glass showers, which would give this effect, I know that the maintenance required for those isn’t for everyone. Enter the completely open shower. No glass, no curtain, no door. Just your favorite tile and the fixtures.

Not only does this look maximize functional space, it also gives the illusion of a bigger space. Less obstruction also lends to an airy, open feel that allows for natural light to reach the entire room. Less maintenance and an open feel – what else could you ask for.

Browse through the inspiration below to see how you can incorporate an open shower into your home.
