Serena Williams' open

In addition to her 23 Grand Slam singles titles, we think Serena Williams can count the interior design of her Florida home among her impressive accomplishments. The tennis titan’s ultra-modern mansion sits just north of Miami, and every detail (including her kitchen island) is absolutely stunning. Now, let's dive into why Serena Williams's bathroom is also perfect.

A mirror selfie shows the talented tennis star posed with her hand on her hip in front of a gold-trimmed floor-length mirror. In the background, we see Serena’s artistic tiles (one of the biggest tile trends of 2023!) and glass pendant lights. Most importantly, the photo features the former professional tennis player’s swoon-worthy shower. Long glass walls encase both a free-standing egg-shaped bathtub, a rain shower, and a handheld shower on the wall. The unique design creates a stylish, open-concept shower that makes bathing the ultimate treat.

Design experts love both the look and the functionality of the chic shower. ‘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' says Melissa Read, interior designer at Studio Burntwood.

The walk-in shower inspiration is infinite in this room. The comforting fusion with the natural light of the outdoors is another stunning feature of the shower. Melissa says ‘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 bright light floods through the window and out the shower doors, providing multiple benefits. For instance, Ryan Ratkowski, founder of Rustic Decorating says ‘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.’ Furthermore, he states that the natural light through the glass can create ‘an illusion of space’ causing the room to appear larger.

Furthermore, designers say the colors are carefully chosen for relaxation. ‘The combination of soothing hues and carefully selected materials create a serene atmosphere, enhanced by the opulence of the brass hardware and marble tiles’ explains Melissa Read. Ryan Ratkowski goes on to say that the warmth and earthiness of natural stone like Serena’s marble turn a bathroom into a ‘haven of tranquility.’ Perhaps the perfect place to rest after an exhausting tennis match.

Finally, the separate showerheads make showering extra easy. ‘An overhead, wall-mounted, and hand-held shower head has been installed which covers every eventuality, including cleaning the shower but also showering without getting your hair wet – a necessity!’ says Melissa.’
