The best double shower ideas can make it easier for couples to share space in a primary bathroom. Unlike a shower designed for one person, a double shower features two showerheads within close reach that can be used separately. It may include a combination of conventional, hand-held, and/or rainwater showerheads depending on your preferences.

Having the luxury of a double shower means that each person can adjust the water temperature and length of their shower to suit their own needs. No more waiting for your partner to finish showering if you both have to leave for work at the same time. 

Check out these double shower ideas in a range of layouts, styles, sizes, and finishes for inspiration.

About This Term: Primary Bathroom

Many real estate associations, including the National Association of Home Builders, have classified the term "Master Bedroom" (or "Master Bathroom") as discriminatory. "Primary Bedroom" is the name now widely used among the real estate community and better reflects the purpose of the room.

What is the point of a double shower? 

A double shower allows more than one person to take a shower in the same bathroom without taking turns. A double shower has separate heads that can be set at different temperatures, allowing you to share a conflict-free shower with your partner in an ergonomic setting. 

How does a dual shower work? 

A dual shower connects two shower heads to the same water valve. A diverter allows water flow to both shower heads, either separately or at the same time depending on the type of valve installed.

Do dual shower heads work at the same time? 

A dual shower with a two-way diverter valve will allow you to switch between two showerheads such as a rainshowerhead and hand-held showerhead. A three-way diverter will allow you to use them both at the same time.
