What is the average walk-in shower size?

The size of your walk-in shower will depend on the size of your bathroom and your design preferences. The average walk-in shower in the U.S. measures 60" x 30", though size options can vary widely, typically up to 60" x 42" for a rectangular shower and 42" x 42" for a square one.

For smaller bathrooms, most experts recommend a shower enclosure no smaller than 36" x 36". To comfortably fit one adult, a shower measuring 48" x 36" should offer enough space for easy movement.

Common Dimensions
Smallest recommended size for a walk-in shower 36" x 36"
Average walk-in shower size 60" x 30"
Average walk-in shower size for larger bathrooms 60" x 42"
