In 2025, Orange County shower remodeling projects continue to incorporate modern design, luxury, and more shower options than ever before. Inspired Remodels transforms ho-hum spaces into luxury spa-quality areas that perform beautifully and look fabulous. Here are the top trends for updating shower spaces.

Wet Areas

The shower remodeling projects with the most wow factor combine both the showering and bathing areas into one. Combined shower and tub areas provide the ultimate in luxury.

This wet area also offers multiple showering options. Whether you want a rain shower, a traditional shower, or the convenience of a handheld shower, there’s a spot for you. Tiled steps make the tub safely accessible. Glass doors and walls keep the rest of the bathroom dry. Note the use of the linear drain and keep reading for more about that new design trend in shower updates.

This remodeling project created a more traditional wet area. The soaking tub awaits after a quick shower from your choice of showerheads. You’ll never want to leave the bathroom area again.

Multiple Shower Options

Once, a handheld shower was considered a luxury – remember the early Waterpik Shower Massager? 

                                                             Remember this oldie from the 1970s?

Then, shower remodelers began incorporating a handheld along with a traditional head.

Then came the rain shower shower head. This shower head style offers full body coverage with a gentle water flow that creates a sense of spa-like indulgence.

Today, many shower remodeling projects incorporate rain showers, traditional shower heads, and handheld options as well. 

Linear Drains

Modern designs incorporate minimalist spa aesthetics, and linear drains support these designs.

By eliminating the traditional circular drain in the middle of the shower, the linear drain simplifies the shower floor slope and easily handles a higher volume of water created by multiple source points.

The unidirectional slope supports larger tile formats and increases your options for shower floor designs. Now you can really get creative with your shower remodel.

The one-way slope also creates a safer walking and standing surface. As Southern California homeowners age, this becomes a key consideration.
