Update Your Bathroom
Posted by GuestPoster in Home and Furnishings on December 13th, 2010
There are many different ways to spruce up a bathroom. One would be to add a new shower design. For large and small bathroom remodels, it is easy to add a small walk in shower design or a larger two person style shower. With a bit of effort, one can spruce up their bathroom with new fixtures or even a new shower. Adding a new shower comes with a few design considerations, so here are a few tips to think about when installing a new shower.
Fixtures like lights and niches for soaps and towels for example also need to be a good distance away from the showers since they too can be affected by the water. Drainage can be a bit of a problem too and if the shower area is at the same level as the rest of the bathroom floor, the entire bathroom runs the risk of being flooded.
Since a lot of space is saved due to the lack of a door a good room is left for creativity. Accessorising the bathroom no matter how small has never been easier. Cabinets, drawer boards and closets for storage, mirrors and even a little bench can all be put in to make the bathroom classier.
Even for larger bathrooms, door-less shower designs are gaining popularity. Apart from reducing the cost and occupying very little space, these designs can also give a very free and comfortable feeling. The user is no longer restricted to one area as with a proper shower with a door or a bath tub. And since they have their own place they also afford privacy like any shower designs with doors.
Planning a door-less shower can be tricky but if handled carefully, it saves a great deal of space and gives a great feel to the entire bathroom. Only an expert should be trusted to install this kind of shower because only he can understand its proper plumbing and drainage needs.

Keep the Shower Curtain Inside the Bath Tub

Keep the shower curtain inside the bath tub!
There’s a number one rule when you’re taking a shower if you don’t want to flood your bathroom – and that is to keep the shower curtain inside the bath tub.
This prevents water dripping onto the floor and is the whole point of the shower curtain.
If you have one of those fancier curtains which consist of an outer curtain and a waterproof inner curtain then things are a bit different.
In that case you leave the outer curtain outside the bath tub so it doesn’t get wet and use the inner waterproof shower curtain inside the bath tub.
Easy right?
Leave the wet curtain inside the bath after you shower so that the water can continue to drip away but extend it along the length of the shower rail to let the fabric air off for a bit. Once it has stopped dripping you can hang it outside the bath tub if you like.
Now if only I could resolve that problem where the shower curtain decides to stick to you while you are showering as easily I would be a rich woman
