From backyard outdoor showers to luxury hotels offering bathing alfresco, these open-air bathrooms offer an exhilarating experience that will tantalize your senses. There is something spectacular about showering outside, if you have ever tried it, you will know what we are talking about. With nature all around, the sounds of birds chirping and natural light streaming in, its glorious! While you might associate outdoor showers with summer vacations at the cottage, showering off after a dip in the ocean or lake, the style is more versatile that you may imagine.

Showers can be designed as far as your creative limits will take you, from stone to wood to more unique designs such as a surfboard shower. Some showers can be designed for indoor-outdoor use, with doors that disappear to open the space to the outdoors. This design style would be perfect for those that do not live in a tropical climate and would like to use their shower all year round. During the winter months, glass will still allow you to feel like you are outside, all the while protecting you from the elements. To help further inspire you this summer season, One Kindesign has rounded up a collection of amazing outdoor showers. From outdoor showers designed with corrugated metal to rustic stone, these spectacular water features will make you want one of your own.

When designing your outdoor shower, try to incorporate budget-friendly, easily obtainable materials.
