Access Panels Behind Tubs and Showers Save Heartaches
If you're remodeling your bathroom or building your dream home from scratch, here is something to consider: install access panels behind tubs and showers. This can save you hundreds of dollars in repair bills if a faucet needs to be replaced in the future. While access panels were once common when walls were hand plastered, they are seldom found in homes today (though the need for them still exists). Generally made from high-impact white ABS, the panels can be painted or papered to hide them, and having them means no need to stare at unsightly sheetrock repairs down the line. If you're designing from scratch, you may even be able to hide them in adjacent bedroom or linen closets.

Shower-proof Speakers, Music in the Bathroom Just Got Better
If you'd like to listen to music, the weather, or other sounds (to block out the kids screaming about who stole who else's lunch money) in the morning while you shower, then you may have already considered something such as the Any Audio Shower Mirror. But what good is music in the shower without a thumping speaker system? (You know you've always wanted your shower to thump...) For the total package, you'll just have to consider some waterproof speakers designed specifically for the shower. The 4 inch, full range shower-proof speakers shown here are from ThermaSol. The company specializes in in-home steam showers (some with sound systems), so I know I'll be putting some of their items on my Christmas list next year (the dream list I give to any family member who is planning on winning the lottery). |

Shower Niches Can Be Decorative as Well as Useful
So, where are the shampoo bottles stored in your shower stall? The floor? A plastic shelf? An annoying metal holder that hangs onto the shower head pipe and falls off whenever you bump it? I know I've experienced all three, and none are particularly classy (and storing items on a slippery shower floor can even be dangerous). If you're remodeling the bathroom and planning a tile surround for your shower, you can have a custom niche built in to hold your soap, shampoo bottles, razors, shaving cream, and various other bathing paraphernalia. It's your dream bathroom remodel, so you might as well make sure you have everything you could possibly need. You can have some pretty snazzy custom niches done too. This decorative example uses tiles from the Talisman Handmade Stoneware line from Lowitz & Company. |
