15 Double Shower Ideas (His and Her Showerheads) 

Here I’m sharing my double shower ideas (his and her showerheads), including design tips, materials to use, and things to consider when deciding to install different fixtures.

Have you ever been in a rush to prepare for the day, shower, and go to work, but your significant other is still using the bath? We’ve all been there! Waiting for him (or her!) to go out so that you can take your turn that you end up getting late or getting annoyed. The solution to this problem is a double showerhead.

If you are in the process of re-decorating your bathroom, installing a double showerhead is a good idea. The vital thing about choosing a double shower is to be sure that both you and your partner prefer shower ing to a bathtub, especially if you don’t have enough space in your bathroom to have two showers and a tub. If your bathroom is spacious enough, then this won’t be a problem.

Let’s start with defining what double bathroom showers are. From there, we’ll provide a selection of ideas you can choose from.

What Is A Double Shower Bathroom?

A double shower bathroom simply refers to an enclosure with two showerheads, plain and simple. It offers enough space for two people showering at the same time or whenever they feel like it. More than that, it can also add to the bathroom’s aesthetics. 

If you want your own his and her experience in the bathroom, it’s either you are just starting its construction or you would have to conduct a full renovation just to make it feasible.

The size of the bathroom is a priority with a double showerhead concept, considering you would have to integrate two fixtures and allow enough space to accommodate two people showering at the same time.   

Designs and features of one double shower bathroom can differ from another one, depending on size, style, and preference.

The minimum requirement for a two person enclosure is 48 inches by 60 inches. A more spacious dual layout features a floor plan of 60 inches by 60 inches, or 72 inches by 72 inches for a more luxurious feel. Also consider features like benches, wall niches, and mood lighting to really elevate the design into a spa-like experience.

You can choose a ceiling showerhead with a handheld spray with multiple spray options and height and preference adjustments.  But you can also choose fixtures with a variety of spray intensities and hot and cold options. You would need to consider who will use the bathroom and their preferences. 

His and Her Shower Heads For Couples Tips

When designing double shower heads for couples, there is a variety of factors to take note of and elements to consider. Space and size are two factors that are incredibly important for this bathroom style. A bathtub is an element that you can still consider if you have enough space and budget for it. 

To help you with your renovation, though, here are some bathroom design tips you can try out.

1. Classic always goes a long way – Go for a classic and timeless look with shining marble flooring and mosaic border tile.

2. Try something different with a modern design – You can incorporate a modern and futuristic capsule design for the enclosure you’re building. 

3. Invest in a wet room – In case you can’t decide on a lounge or a stall, a bathroom wet room provides you with added functionality and both choices.

4. Design a narrow double shower – You can save space (which is very important with double showers) by choosing a narrow corridor compared to a large corner, where the enclosure will be installed. 

5. Incorporate a bench – Add a built-in shower bench in the middle of the bathroom, for shaving, relaxation, and other rituals you may have without slipping risk.  

6. Install double doors – If you want privacy between the two showering stations, you can install shower doors on each side instead. You can also run the glass to the ceiling to seal the enclosure completely if you want to create a steam room.

7. Choose frosted glass – For more privacy and additional light, frosted glass provides a more airy sense and expansive space. See more types of glass shower doors here.

8. Try out a minimalist design – Enjoy the joy of minimal distraction, a monochrome palette, and straight edges in your room.

9. Choose the material that will match your bathroom and home’s vibe – Some of the materials you can choose from are the following.

a. Subway tile

b. Limestone

c. Marble

d. Quartz

e. Mosaic Tile

f. Accent tiles

g. Corian

10. Use multiple types of showerheads. By installing a detachable nozzle sprayer and rainfall shower heads, you can maximize your enjoyment and create a spa-like ambiance.

Double Shower Heads

There are many elements to consider in the process, but to help you have different options, here are some styles you can adopt for your bathrooms. 

Walk In Double Spray Shower 

When choosing to install multi-head fixtures in your showering enclosure, one thing you can do is to set apart one showerhead from another by installing two different types. This is a great way to differentiate his and her showerheads and personalize the experience to the style one prefers.

In this bathroom, there are two different showerheads installed: a fixed head and a handheld sprayer. The design is cleanly bordered with grey geometric tiles and a glass door. It also has elegant mosaic tile flooring.  

Double Sliding Shower Door 

A double sliding shower door with two showerheads will work wonderfully for a bathroom. It will also be ideal for bathrooms with a bathtub installed to separate the area with the stall from the one with the tub. 

This trendy and contemporary bathroom sports multiple showerheads and a freestanding tub. The showering and bathing areas are divided by a bench at the bathroom’s center.

The whole bathroom is enclosed in glass, with each area having its own sliding door to enter the respective areas. These double sliding doors offer privacy to the users of both areas.  

Are Two Showerheads Worth It?

In answering whether having two showerheads is worth it or not, answer this question first, “Do you really need two showerheads in your bathroom?”

If you’re living alone, you may not want to waste your time and resources building one (except if you want to feel somehow a bit luxurious).

Reasons to Install a Large His and Her Walk-in Shower

And if you are trying to find reasons to install one, here are some you can consider:

1. It offers more flexibility in terms of your showering experience – With two sprayers, especially if they are two different types of shower heads, you can decide which shower to use depending on your needs (E.g. use the hand-held shower in case you want to wash your body but not your hair.

2. It delivers practicality in bathroom usage – A double sprayer enclosure is practical for couples who always have a busy morning in preparation for work.

3. It offers an opportunity to be creative in designs – While double showers lean more on the practical side, they can also be used to add aesthetic value to the bathroom.

From a traditional-looking bathroom to a Victorian design or a contemporary style, you can always integrate these styles into your bathroom if you have the space. 

4. It provides you with a luxurious experience similar to being in a spa – Having two showerheads in your bathroom may be considered a luxury, and it’s one of the benefits of installing these fixtures.

You can bring the spa to your home and experience a body massage in specific parts of your body with a hand-held sprayer. 

These are only a few benefits you can get from a double shower bathroom. There are other possible reasons you can have to install two sprayers; the important thing, though, is that there is a need or want for it to be installed in your bathroom.
