Pebble Stone Shower Ideas

Whether you want to give your bathroom a rustic, country look or simply create an unexpected design for your shower surround, pebble stone tile could be a stylish option. With a textured surface that resembles stones on a riverbed, the tile provides a rugged look that you can pair either with other natural materials or sleek, modern surfaces for an interesting contrast. You can incorporate pebble stone tile in your shower in a variety of ways, so you can create the ideal look to meet your style and needs.
  1. Pair It with a Frameless Shower Door

    • For an attractive, textured look, you can use pebble stone for your shower walls and floor. Using it for the entire shower surround creates a striking look for your bathroom, but it will only go to waste if it is not visible. Traditional shower doors usually feature metal frames that may block the view of the pebble stone and spoil the room’s look. A frameless shower door is an ideal alternative because it does not use metal tracks to hold the door in place. As a result, your shower is surrounded by nothing but clear glass so the pebble stone walls and floor are visible throughout the bathroom.

    Pair it with Stone Tile

    • If the idea of pebble stone on both your shower walls and floor seems like too much, consider pairing it with another material. You can maintain the rustic look that pebble stone provides by using it in combination with a smoother stone tile. Try using pebble stone for the walls of your shower and slate tile for the floor so there is a smoother surface underfoot. You can also use slate tile for both the walls and floor, and use pebble stone tile to create a border.

    Pair it with Wood

    • You can also mix non-stone materials with pebble stone to create a rustic look for your shower. A wooden shower floor provides a warm, rich look that pairs well with the earthy tones of pebble stone. The best woods for a shower floor are those that you would use for decking since most are naturally resistant to rot. Some options includes teak, redwood, cedar and Ipe. However, you should still seal your wood shower pan to help prevent water damage.

    Use it Outdoors

    • While you may think of using pebble stone only for your interior shower, it can actually make an attractive backdrop for outdoor pool shower. However, to ensure that the pebble stone is visible in your yard, opt for an open shower design. A pebble stone pool showers works especially well with a lagoon style pool since it has the same charming, rustic look. You can pair it with either a stone patio or wooden deck to maintain a natural look for your pool landscape.
