Serena Williams’ Open-Concept Florida Shower Features a Genius Spatial Trick That Makes the Room Feel Twice as Large
By ditching traditional doors for seamless glass partitions, Serena creates a wet room that feels like a private tropical oasis
Beyond her 23 Grand Slam singles titles, tennis titan Serena Williams can easily count the interior design of her Florida home as one of her most impressive accomplishments. Located just north of Miami, her modern mansion is absolutely stunning in every detail – right down to her kitchen island.
Serena never skimps on the finer details, and her bathroom is absolute perfection, providing a refreshing escape during these bright summer months. In an Instagram selfie, the tennis pro posed in front of a gold-trimmed, floor-length mirror. The background showcases her artistic tiles – a major design look that remains a significant bathroom trend in 2026 – alongside elegant blown-glass pendant lights.
The true centerpiece of the room is her open-concept shower. Expansive glass walls encase a freestanding, egg-shaped bathtub, a rain shower, and a wall-mounted handheld showerhead (like this one from Wayfair). This unique setup turns a daily routine into the ultimate summer treat.

Design experts love both the aesthetic and functionality of this chic space. Melissa Read, interior designer at Studio Burntwood, notes:
'The glass dividers serve the purpose of protecting the rest of the area from water whilst eliminating the need for a traditional shower door; further adding to the sense of openness. These glass panels would also prove helpful to keep that area warm whilst having a bath'
The tranquil space beautifully blends with the natural outdoor light, making it perfect for those sunny summer mornings. Melissa explains: 'This design emulates the feeling of a tropical outdoor shower, with ample space and an abundance of natural light. The design works well due to its generous spacing and overhead window, which floods the space with light without losing any privacy.'
This brilliant sunshine streams through the window and beyond the shower doors, offering multiple benefits.
Ryan Ratkowski, founder of Rustic Decorating, shares: 'A shower window connects your private space to the boundlessness of the outdoors. It's like having an open conversation with nature, each day, a new topic.'
He adds that the natural light filtering through the glass creates 'an illusion of space', making Serena's bathroom feel even larger.
Furthermore, interior design experts say the bathroom color palette is meticulously curated for seasonal relaxation. Melissa points out: 'The combination of soothing hues and carefully selected materials creates a serene atmosphere, enhanced by the opulence of the brass hardware and marble tiles'
Ryan agrees, noting that the warmth and earthiness of natural stone, like Serena's marble, transforms the bathroom into a 'haven of tranquility.' It provides the perfect place to cool down and unwind after a grueling tennis match under the hot summer sun.
Finally, the separate showerheads maximize convenience for a quick rinse after a warm day outside. Melissa adds: 'An overhead, wall-mounted, and hand-held showerhead has been installed which covers every eventuality, including cleaning the shower but also showering without getting your hair wet – a necessity!'
