Shower Strategies

A shower is a great way to jump-start your morning as well as develop your singing voice. If you have or plan to install a stand-alone shower, keep in mind that:

A shower shall can be squeezed into 32 square inches, but 36 square inches is much more comfortable.
Your home should have at least one tub for resale purposes to satisfy buyers who love to soak or have young children.
You can add steam to your shower. Steam loosens tight muscles, increases circulation, and clears the sinuses.
By installing extra jets at different heights in your shower stall, you can have a full-body shower. This is a real treat!

Dorothy and John Nelson, condominium owners, had a bathroom with a tub and a small shower. The couple hardly ever used their tub, so when they remodeled, the tub was removed to made space for a large walk-in shower. The new shower, enclosed with a curving glass-block wall, had a grab bar, a bench for pedicures, a fully adjustable showerhead, and a niche for shampoo and shower gel.

Originally, the bathroom didn’t have a window. The Nelsons had a flared skylight installed which now floods the space with natural light that sparkles through the glass wall of the shower. Delores Hyden, a designer, says, “Bringing in daylight makes the room appear much larger.” Two walls of the shower were lined with stone files and the rest of the room was decorated in forma wainscot. A wainscot-high partition was built at the far end of the vanity to hide the toilet.

A contemporary look and European flair were achieved with smooth finishes and fittings. Dorothy chose limestone for the files on the floor and walls. The limestone is inset with matte charcoal-gray slate cut into triangles and placed at random. To conserve wall space, a two-tier Euro-style towel bar was installed next to the shower. Pull-out shelves housing vinyl-coated wire baskets keep the bathroom tidy. Radiant floor heating under the files welcomes bare feet.
