The bedroom is where we spend a third of our lives, but the bathroom often seems like a close second. Why not make it a place you enjoy? Today we’re highlighting five bathrooms that bring a unique style to modern homes: arches. We’re dedicating this moment to one of our favorite things by showing you five of our favorite arched shower designs.

First up is this quaint fairy-tale arched shower from Enchanted Berkeley’s storyboook home in Beverly Hills. Our 2x6 Natural White Zellige tiles line the shower walls and create an ethereal oasis. The side-by-side arches reflect each other nicely, while the browns from the door and floor accentuate the gleam of Zellige.

Our second shower takes the same 2x6 Natural White Zellige tiles and doubles the arches by adding an arched window inside the shower itself. The texture of the tiles shimmer exceptionally when natural sunlight peeks through, and the Zellige border on the archway adds extra flair. We love how the brass fixtures bring the old world into the new.

Third on the list is this design by Melissa Gamblin of Melissa Grace Deisgns. This arch into a shower nook features our 4x4 Natural White Zellige tiles on the walls and 2x6 Natural White Zellige lining the archway. Our Natural Zellige tiles bring a varied color palette to a space while still imparting pleasant uniformity.

We love how the 2x6 tiles that line the archway pull from Roman influences. Walking through this doorway brings images of a steaming bathhouse where one goes to relax and let the efforts of the day wash away. Melissa Gamblin did a fantastic job pairing these two tiles together to make an exquisite arched shower room.

Next is a colorful arched shower by Dabito, founder and creative director of Old Brand New. Dabito used our 4x4 Natural White Zellige tiles to cover his shower walls. The arch for this shower is more tucked away and frames the tiles with a bright orange wall. The splash of color adds to the browns and eggshell whites of the tiles (and equaly compliments the colors of the cat off to the side).

Last but not least is this gorgeous arched shower created by Hannah Oravec, founder of Lawless Design. The square window in this shower contrasts with the curves of the arch and does a fantastic job illuminating the space. Hannah chose our 3"x6" Casablanca Carrara Marble for this project, curating a clean, classic finish. The white reflects the light into the vanity area and accentuates the dark woods of the cabinetry and beams. The arch for this shower uses the same tiles as well; as the saying goes, you can’t have too much of a good thing. We love these arched showers and each one’s different take on the romantic feature. Tag our tiles in your projects so we can highlight your work in upcoming blogs. You can also order samples from our website to try out different patterns at home.
