Master Bathroom Floor Plans With Walk-In Shower And No Tub

If you’re dreaming of a master bathroom that feels more like a private spa, you’ll love these designs that ditch the bulky tub in favor of a spacious walk-in shower. Removing the tub is one of the fastest ways to unlock square footage, eliminate extra upkeep, and give your suite a contemporary feel. In this guide you’ll find a collection of real-world master bathroom floor plans, each with key dimensions, fixture placements, and pro design tips to show exactly how a walk-in shower-only layout can elevate functionality and aesthetics.

8×10 Sleek Minimalist Bathroom With Shower Layout

This minimalist bathroom layout works because it creates a straight aisle down the center with all of the fixtures pushed to the perimeter to keep the room open, efficient, and easy to use.

Layout Details: Upon entering the 8×10 ft bathroom in the bottom-right corner, you’ll encounter a 6-ft long double vanity stretching along the bottom wall. As you turn to the right, you’ll find a private water closet situated in the top-right corner. Opposite the vanity at the top left sits a 3′ x 4′ frameless shower with a sliding glass door partition. A shallow bench/linen cabinet sits directly left of the shower for towels and bath products. There’s a 3-ft center aisle for easy circulation from the toilet to the sinks and shower. Since all of the fixtures are pushed to the sides, the sightlines keep the room feeling open even with the compact footprint.

Dimensions:

• Room size: 8′ x 10′ (80 sq ft)
• Vanity: 6′ long x 1.5′ deep (72″ x 18″), two sinks with a wall cabinet above
• Center aisle: 3′
• Shower: 3′ x 4′ with sliding glass door
• Built-in bench/linen closet: 1.54′ deep beside the shower
• Toilet niche: approx. 3′ x 4′
• Upper/lower depth split: 3.25′ (shower/bench zone) + 4.75′ (vanity/aisle zone)

Design Tips:

• Use a frameless slider on the shower. This helps preserve the 3′ circulation path.
• Choose large-format floor tile. When laid lengthwise, it can visually stretch the 10′ dimension.
• Add a recessed medicine cabinet or shallow wall cabinet. Install this above the vanity to stay within the 18″ depth.
• Build the bench/linen closet into the seat: This is great for grab-and-go towel storage.
• Consider a soft-close pocket door. Use this at the entry since regular swing clearance is tight.
• Keep the toilet niche light and uncluttered. Add a floating shelf and a slim art piece to avoid a cramped feel.

12×12 Spacious Luxury Bathroom With Expansive Shower Floor Plan

With its large shower with a bench, semi-private water closet, reach-in linen closet, and L-shaped dual sink vanity, this bathroom layout feels truly luxurious and made for couples.

Layout Details: As you enter on the left, there’s an L-shaped double vanity that wraps along two walls with upper cabinets. At the upper-right sits the a semi-private 4′ x 4′ water closet with room for a small storage cabinet. Opposite the vanity, on the lower-right corner is a 5′ x 6′ glass shower with a sitting bench along one wall. On the lower left side there’s a 3′ x 3′ linen closet for towels and essentials. The main room features a generous central work zone with an open center area. 

Dimensions:

• Room size: 12′ x 12′ (144 sq ft) 
• Vanity: L-shape with two 6′ runs (along the top and left walls), with two sinks, and wall cabinets above
• Linen closet: 3′ x 3′ near the entry in the lower corner
• Shower: 5′ x 6′ with glass door and integrated bench along the right side
• Water closet: 4′ x 4′ enclosed compartment
• Center clearances: two 32″ pinch points near the entry

Design Tips:

• Use a frameless slider for the entry. This can help keep the path clear.
• Tile the shower bench and add a full-height niche on the bench wall. This adds spa-level function and enhanced style.
• Mirror both vanity runs. Use two mirrors with corner sconces to brighten the L-shape.
• Consider a pocket door for the water closet. This adds extra privacy if desired.
• Keep flooring continuous and large-format. This helps visually widen the look of the space.
• Place task lighting and a dimmable ambient layer at each sink. This will allow one to switch from task oriented to a more relaxed feel when desired.

6×9 Compact Urban Bathroom And Corner Shower Room Design

Designed for a compact bathroom design, this plan works because it separates the shower and toilet into their own compact 3′ x 4′ rooms, while using a shallow vanity and a mirrored wall to help make the space feel open and spacious.

Layout Details: The entry to this compact bathroom is a sliding/pocket door that opens to a shallow vanity along the left, facing a mirrored wall with two micro-rooms on the right. The vanity is kept narrow so you can dress and move without conflicts. On the right side, a short partition creates two separate compartments which are a 3′ x 4′ corner shower at the lower right, and a 3′ x 4′ enclosed water closet on the upper right. Each room has its own hinged door for privacy. A mirrored wall along the upper-left corner bounces light and visually increases the small room’s perceived size

Dimensions:

• Room size: 6′ x 9′ (54 sq ft)
• Vanity: 4′ long x 15″ deep with an upper wall cabinet 
• Shower enclosure: 3′ x 4′ (corner) with a hinged door with frosted glass
• Water closet compartment: 3′ x 4′
• Open center zone: about 5′ of clear area between the vanity and the right-side partition
• Entry door: sliding/pocket style (no swing into the room)

Design Tips:

• Choose a wall-hung, 15″-deep vanity. Add a shallow faucet to this to preserve cabinet space.
• Run a full-height mirror (as shown) on the upper-left wall. This will visually expand sightlines and create the feel of a larger space.
• Use large-format floor tile. Lay it along the 9′ dimension to elongate the space.
• Add recessed niches in the shower and a slim shelf above the water closet. Enhances the limited storage space by better using the wall areas.
• Consider frosted glass or a solid-core door for the shower and water closet. This adds privacy in a shared use bathroom.

8×10 Wet Room Style Bathroom And Shower Design

This wet-room style bathroom offers a 5′ x 3′ walk-in shower and a separate 5′ x 3′ water closet and single sink vanity with a large 5-foot open center aisle that is easy to maintain and makes the room feel bigger and brighter.

Layout Details: With a wet-room style bathroom, the shower is not enclosed, with the floor slightly sloped to a drain in the back to ensure proper water runoff. All elements are sealed and waterproofed with membranes to avoid moisture damage. As you enter the room, you’ll see the large walk-in in the left corner, and a single-sink vanity running along the right wall with a wall cabinet above. The middle is a 5′ open aisle for dressing and circulation. The entire lower-left side corner is the designated wet zone, featuring a curbless 5′ x 3′ shower with a floor drain (FD) in the back. The toilet room sits in its own 5′ x 3′ compartment at the upper left. This zoning keeps splashes contained to the shower area while the toilet and vanity away from the water.

Dimensions:

• Room size: 8′ x 10′ (80 sq ft)
• Shower (wet zone): 5′ x 3′ with linear floor drain
• Water closet enclosure: 5′ x 3′
• Center open aisle: 5′ clear between the shower partition and the vanity
• Right-side bay: 3′ wide zone for vanity/entry (use a standard 22–24″ deep vanity within this)
• Entry: hinged door at lower-right

Design Tips:

• Build the shower as a true wet room. Install continuous floor tile with a ¼” per foot slope to a linear drain, with waterproofed floor and lower walls.
• Use a partial, fixed glass screen in the shower. This can preserve the 5′ aisle and help limit spray.
• Keep the vanity wall-hung. This can visually widen the 3′ walking bay and improve floor drainage and cleaning.
• Choose slip-resistant floor tile. Run the tiles along the 10′ dimension to elongate the room.
• Add heated floors and a towel warmer. Add these perks just outside the shower zone for comfort.
• Upgrade ventilation. Install a quiet exhaust fan near the wet zone to manage humidity for this doorless shower concept.
• Consider a pocket door at the water closet. The inward swing may inhibit movement, so opt for a pocket door instead.

10×14 Double Shower Bathroom Suite Layout

For those looking for his and hers showers and vanities for grooming, wet use, and privacy, this suite works because it pairs a full-length double sink vanity with two 4′ x 4′ showers behind a sliding partition and a separate 5′ x 4′ water closet, so two people can use the space simultaneously without bumping into each other.

Layout Details: This is a true his and hers bathroom suite with a broad grooming zone with a long double-sink vanity running nearly across the full bottom wall (standard 2′ depth). A sliding panel (shown with an arrow) separates the private water closet from the rest of the room. The upper “wet zone” is located behind a partition that holds two side-by-side 4′ x 4′ showers. The shower can be designed with the center divider left open or closed for shared or private use. One could also opt for a partial bench in the center. This showering arrangement is ideal for those looking for their own shower and can be customized with the person’s preferences for showerheads and jets.  

Dimensions:

• Room size: 10′ x 14′ (140 sq ft)
• Vanity: ~14′ run, 2′ deep, two sinks, a full-length counter and dual mirrors
• Showers: two at 4′ x 4′ each, optional pass-through or bench at the center
• Water closet (WC): 5′ x 4′ enclosed compartment
• Entry door: 28″ wide
• Central widths: approx. 3.5′, 4′, and 5.5′ across the interior (sum equals interior width after wall thickness)

Design Tips:

• Use sliding glass panels in the shower. This can help control steam while preserving sightlines.
• Specify thermostatic valves and custom heads. This way the individual users get the type they desire. 
• Add niches and a low corner perch in each shower. If open, consider a shared linear drain for simpler grading.
• Upgrade ventilation. Add an exhaust fan in the wet zone and another near the WC.
• Run heated floors through the vanity zone. This can offset the cooler, tiled shower wall.
• Treat the WC walls/door for sound. This is a detail that is important to some couples.
• The long vanity is ideal for split storage. Add pull-outs for daily items, and center drawers for shared supplies.

7×12 Narrow Bathroom Layout With Glass Shower Enclosure

With a double vanity along one wall and stacking a 5′ × 4′ shower above a matching water closet compartment, this layout has space for a large 4-ft-plus center aisle that turns a narrow bathroom into an efficient, two-person-friendly design.

Layout Details: This long and narrow bathroom design places a two-sink vanity along the left side with a shower compartment and water closet on the opposite side. This setup provides a full-height double vanity on the entire left wall for all grooming activities, leaving the right side for wet functions. On the right, a short partition divides the room into two stacked compartments, which include a frameless-glass 5′ × 4′ shower located on the upper right and a 5′ × 4′ water closet directly below. 

Dimensions:

• Room size: 7′ × 12′ (84 sq ft)
• Vanity: full 7′ run, that’s 2′ deep, with two sinks
• Center aisle clearance: 4′ 7″ between vanity and the partitions
• Shower enclosure: 5′ × 4′ with a frameless glass door
• Water-closet compartment: 5′ × 4′ with standard toilet
• Entry door: 28–30″ sliding/pocket recommended to protect the aisle

Design Tips:

• Opt for a wall-hung vanity. To enlarge the aisle further, go with a 15–18″ deep model for another few inches and to ease cleaning.
• Install a full-width mirror above the vanity. A large mirror reflection visually widens the narrow 7′ span.
• Use a single fixed glass panel for the shower. This saves the aisle from the outward swing of a traditional hinged door.
• Run large-format porcelain planks lengthwise. Line them along the 12′ direction to visually elongate the room.
• Add a towel niche recessed into the partition. Place this beside the shower door. 
• Upgrade ventilation. Add one quiet exhaust fan for the WC stall and another over the shower to keep moisture in check.

10×15 Bathroom Spa Retreat With Shower And Sauna

With a luxury spa feel that focuses on wellness, this bathroom offers a roomy 6 × 4 shower and a 3 × 3 sauna along one wall and a sweeping 9-foot double vanity on the other, delivering a relaxed experience without feeling crowded.

Layout Details: As you step through the door on the upper left wall, you see a grooming zone featuring a 9′-long double vanity spanning the entire north wall. The plan then flows past a 6-foot-wide open core that leads to an expansive 6′ x 4′ walk-in shower. The entire right side is the “spa wall.” First comes the frameless glass shower, then directly below you’ll find a 3′ × 3′ cedar-lined sauna nook for post-workout sweats. At the lower left is a 5′ × 4′ enclosed water closet that is tucked behind its own door for acoustic and visual privacy. 

Dimensions: 

• Room size: 10′ × 15′ (150 sq ft)
• Vanity: 9′ L × 2′ D curved-edge corner unit, with twin under-mount sinks
• Central open zone: 6′ clear width (east–west)
• Aisle at entry side: 3.5′ between the vanity and WC wall
• Shower enclosure: 6′ × 4′ with glass door/panel
• Sauna nook: 3′ × 3′ (fits a single or corner bench heater)
• Water-closet compartment: 5′ × 4′ with sliding door

Design Tips:

• Use continuous heated porcelain plank flooring. This ties the whole space together and stays cozy after a sauna session.
• Use a recessed linear drain along the shower’s back wall. The floor slopes away from the main aisle without requiring a curb.
• Specify thermo-treated aspen or cedar for the 3′ × 3′ sauna. This adds a resort vibe.
• Add matching glazed doors for the shower and sauna. This visually links them stylistically to each other.
• Float the vanity and back-light the toe-kick. This adds a luxe look and helps with nighttime navigation.
• Add a full-height niche in the shower. Hang this just outside the glass for spa-level convenience.
• Choose a quiet 150 CFM exhaust fan with humidity sensor near the shower/sauna wall. This can help manage moisture loads.
• Conserve floor space by swapping the entry swing door. Install a soft-close pocket door to keep floor space uninterrupted.
