Designing a Spa-Like Shower

Whether you're remodeling a small bath in Midtown Memphis or upgrading your primary suite in Olive Branch, turning your tub into a spa-inspired shower is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make. A spa-like shower isn’t just about luxury—it’s about creating a peaceful, practical space that fits your lifestyle.

At A Final Touch, we specialize in tub-to-shower conversions throughout Shelby and DeSoto Counties, bringing dream bathrooms to life with thoughtful design, expert craftsmanship, and timeless finishes.

Here are our favorite spa-style shower ideas that work in any size bathroom:

1. Add a Steam Feature for Relaxation

Transform your daily routine into a true retreat with a steam shower. It’s ideal for stress relief, muscle relaxation, and even skincare. You don’t need a huge space—compact steam units can be installed in most walk-in shower conversions with proper ventilation and waterproofing.

2. Upgrade the Lighting for a Serene Glow

Lighting makes all the difference. We recommend:

  • Recessed LED lighting for soft, even illumination

  • Dimmable switches to adjust the mood

  • Backlit niche lighting for subtle luxury

You’ll never look at your shower the same way again.

3. Include a Bench—Built-In Comfort & Function

A shower bench is a spa essential. Whether it’s a sleek floating slab or a curved corner bench, it adds comfort, convenience, and safety. It's great for shaving, relaxing under the water, or simply elevating the design.

4. Custom Niches That Feel Intentional

No more shampoo bottles on the floor. We build custom niches that match your tile design and fit your daily routine—whether it’s a large vertical niche for family-size bottles or a double niche for shared showers. It’s also a great way to make your design cohesive by using the same tile for the floor and niche.

5. Invest in Spa-Style Fixtures

Skip the basic shower head. We install:

  • Rainfall shower heads for full-body coverage

  • Body jets for hydrotherapy-style water pressure

  • Handheld sprayers for flexibility and cleaning ease

These additions can turn even a standard-size walk-in into a resort-worthy experience.

6. Choose Calming, High-End Materials

A spa-like feel starts with the materials. Popular options include:

  • Large-format porcelain tile for a clean, modern look

  • Natural stone for an earthy, serene feel

  • Matte black or brushed gold fixtures for modern elegance

Neutral tones, subtle textures, and minimal grout lines can make even small bathrooms feel high-end.
