Designing the perfect outdoor shower

Inspiration

Designing the perfect outdoor shower

The beauty of an outdoor shower lies in its versatility. Whether tucked away in a secluded garden corner or placed in an open landscape for a panoramic experience, thoughtful design ensures it is both practical and beautiful. At Marlborough Tiles, our handcrafted tiles offer a perfect solution - resistant to moisture and wear, while adding a touch of elegance to any space. Whether you prefer a classic monochrome aesthetic or a vibrant pop of colour, our collections provide a variety of options to help you create your ideal outdoor oasis.  

A Shower in the Wild 

Nestled on the banks of the River Kennet, on the edge of Savernake Forest - where our factory has stood for more than 87 years - one such shower offers a perfect example of outdoor bathing at its finest. Fitted with copper fixtures and clad in our 13x13cm Figgins Lane tiles, a rich inky blue-grey shade from the Savernake collection, this shower blends rustic charm with refined design. Set against the natural beauty of the forest, it provides the perfect place to refresh after a wild swim or a long summer walk.

Green with Envy

A fresh, uplifting green mixed with two oxides to create underlying burnt orange and yellow tones, these tiles are reminiscent of Skye’s soaring Cuillin ranges. This outdoor shower featuring the Skye Skinny Metro tiles is finished with jasmine grout, which highlights the tiles' light, bright green hues and yellow undertones. This colour combination brings vibrancy and a sense of the natural landscape into the bathing experience, making it a refreshing and energising space to start or end the day. 

The Finishing Touches

Good design is all in the detail. Our trim pieces will add polish to your space and create a seamless finish. Whether you choose a quarter round, half round, or another decorative trim, these finishing elements ensure a beautifully refined look.

Our trims can be glazed to match any wall tile from our collections and are available in a variety of finishes, including matt, crackle glaze, gloss, and aged crackle. These details provide an elegant alternative to plastic or metal edging, allowing for a cohesive, high-quality aesthetic.

For added longevity, opt for professional installation and apply a high-quality grout sealer to protect against the elements, ensuring your outdoor shower remains stunning for years to come.
