You know when a decorating trend feels like it was made for you? That’s how I felt when I stumbled on the viral shower lamps trend a few weeks ago.
I didn’t know I needed a cozy little lamp in the shower until I tried it myself—but now? I’m fully converted.
A while back, I gave our girls’ bathroom a little glow-up by hanging floor-to-ceiling shower curtains. It was such a simple upgrade, but it instantly made the space feel taller, grander, and more like a boutique hotel.
But… it created a new problem.
Those beautiful tall curtains? Yeah, they blocked nearly all the light into the shower. Suddenly, the shower felt like a dark little cave. Not exactly the vibe I was going for.

So I gave in to the shower lamp trend I saw on TikTok. I plopped this waterproof cordless lamp right on one of the shower shelves, and oh my stars… it completely changed the entire feel of the bathroom!
That soft glow made the space feel so much warmer and inviting, and bonus—it solved the lighting problem.
Honestly? I loved it so much, I’m already planning to add a shower lamp to our own primary bathroom. There’s something about that little touch of unexpected coziness that makes you feel like you’re in a fancy spa, even if there are bath toys floating around.
Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a waterproof Bluetooth speaker to go with it for the full multi-sensory experience. (Steal my Cozy Home playlist and vibe out.)

Why Shower Lamps Are the Coziest (and Easiest) Bathroom Trend Right Now
Honestly, the charm is in the simplicity:
- They’re cordless. These lamps are rechargeable, which means no risky cords near water (safety first, friends).
- They’re waterproof. These aren’t your typical table lamps. They’re designed to handle moisture and humidity like champs. They’re great for using outdoors on patios too.
- They create instant spa vibes. There’s something about that warm, cozy glow that makes even a 5-minute shower feel indulgent.
- They’re made without glass. So no worries if you get the dropsies.
- They help with lighting problems. If you’ve got a shower with no built-in lighting (or tall curtains like me), this is a quick fix that looks designer but takes 2 seconds. I wish I’d known about this back before we remodeled our dark beige 1980s shower.
My Favorite Shower Lamps to Try
There are several cute, functional shower lamps out there now, so I did a little shopping for you. Here are a few of my faves:
2. Shower Lamp with Built In Bluetooth Speaker
It has a speaker built right in! ‘Nuf said. And you can set it to play a light show while you sing Defying Gravity at the top of your lungs in the shower. (I know I’m not the only one who would do that.)
Sometimes the tiniest touches make the biggest difference in how a space feels. And this is one of those trends that feels just as good as it looks.
Is this a trend you think you’ll try?
