The end of bathtubs in the bathroom: This is the new hit of 2026, it is practical and exudes luxury

The new bathroom design doesn’t count on the bathtub much anymore. Generous showers are included in the course!

It is said that cleanliness is half of health. Therefore, in the times of our grandfathers and grandmothers, there was no greater pleasure than getting a nice “load” in the bathtub from time to time. However, today’s trends do not approve of this “indulgence” anymore and they resort to a modern variant of so-called home spas (that is, home spas), the basis of which are generous showers with plenty of space and comfort. What types of showers are these and how can you get them too?

Walk-in sprcha

It is typical for this type of shower that it is spacious and separated from the rest of the bathroom by only one glass wall. Unlike a classic shower corner, it does not contain a “bathtub” or a threshold. The floor in the shower normally follows the one in the bathroom, and the water from washing then flows straight into the septic tank. In modern walk-in showers, a niche is usually built into the wall for shampoos, shower trays and cosmetics, so that when needed, you don’t have to look for any hygiene items at your feet or in metal shelves from which everything falls. The bonus of this hygienic area is a bench where you can rest undisturbed.

Design gadgets

Modern showers can even be closed off like a room and steam can be released in them to create a lighter sauna effect. In some areas, designer handles are also available, which match the color and style of the battery type and the overall interior. They are a support not only for older showerers, but also for ordinary visitors to the “shower corner”. They create a feeling of safety, support and comfort when showering.

Lighting and aroma

Some modern showers also play with other sensual pleasures. They include various lighting effects, for example LED strips in warm light tones. Sometimes the entire “shower show” is complemented by aromatherapy in the form of various scented mixtures and oils. “In some modern showers, there are steam showers that have a reservoir near the steam nozzle (or shower head) where essential oil is dripped, which creates the effect of fragrant steam,” says the expert, adding that it is also possible to use the automatic dosing of fragrant essence through an electric dosing pump.

Favorite fragrances

Popular shower scents include eucalyptus, orange or lavender. If you don’t have a “shower steam” option in the shower, you can at least create a scented corner by putting a bowl of hot water and a few drops of your favorite essential oil in the corner of the room.
