10 Shower Components to Install to Create a Pampering Oasis in Your Home

All too often, we jump in the shower and jump out to start the day — without really taking the time to enjoy the experience. If you’re considering remodeling your bathroom, it may be time to think about creating a shower that you can really enjoy, with various pampering elements that allow you to really relax. We all have to get clean, so why not spend time unwinding from the stress of your day while you do so?

Let’s look at some shower components to consider as you work to create a soothing home oasis:

1. Multi-Level Shower System

Consider installing a multi-level shower system to truly enjoy the relaxation your home shower has to offer. These unique fixtures allow you to experience an overhead shower, shower systems, or customized shower faucets. You can include shower slide bars as well as a handheld sprayer and jets at various heights. These shower components help you design a shower that perfectly suits your needs. Wash away your cares with numerous jet sprays so that every shower becomes a luxurious experience. You may also want to consider adding a shower fixture with a massaging shower head to easily work out the stress knots that build up throughout the course of the day.

2. Shampoo Caddy

One of the more stressful elements of taking a shower is often finding all your toiletries when you need them. You wind up with water spraying in your face, dropped bottles, spills, and overall inconvenience. As you remodel your bathroom shower area, consider adding a built-in shampoo caddy area. These recessed shelves are both attractive and useful, providing you with the additional storage that you need in your shower so that you have everything easily on hand. You’ll never have to worry about dropping a shampoo bottle on your foot again — instead, you can reach everything you need with ease while enjoying a relaxing shower.

3. Mood Lighting Fixtures

Dimmable light fixtures are another great addition to your shower area. Whether you prefer to shower in the dim light of the evenings or in slowly brightening light in the morning as you wake up, it’s possible with customized lighting fixtures. You can even install smart lighting that works on a predetermined schedule or that changes color to suit your mood. Your options are virtually endless, allowing you to truly create the shower oasis you’ve always dreamed of.

4. Boost the Heat

Consider installing a programmable thermostat in your bathroom so you can increase the temperature slightly as you head into the shower. This helps eliminate the overall chill you may feel when you turn off the hot water and step into your bathroom. You can set these thermostats up to either change the temperature on a predetermined time schedule or easily adjust with the click of a button or a few words spoken to your digital assistant.

5. Warming Towel Racks

Stepping out of the shower and into a room-temperature bathroom can often be a bit of a shock to the system. Adding warming towel racks to your shower area can help you stay as warm and relaxed as possible after your shower. These specialty towel racks help ensure your towels are at the perfect temperature. There’s nothing quite like the sheer luxury of stepping out of a shower and wrapping up in a warm towel, so don’t miss out on installing this particular component.

6. Rain Canopy Shower System

Individuals who enjoy a soft shower spray may want to consider a rain canopy shower system. These special shower fixtures recreate the feeling of soft rainfall, allowing you to relax and imagine you’ve stepped away into a rainforest paradise. If you don’t like the harsh spray of a normal shower head and prefer that the water hit you more gently, a rainfall shower head may be just right for your bathroom remodel.

7. Coordinated Linens

If you have a specific vision of how you’d like your bathroom to look, it’s likely that the linens play a large role. Consider purchasing coordinated shower curtains and rugs to carry through the visuals you’re aiming for, as well as new towels to enhance your comfort. Toweling comes in a variety of sizes, so don’t skimp on bath towels that are too small to really be used. Instead, consider moving up to bath sheets so you can be cozy and comfortable after stepping out of the shower. Select the shower curtain that's just right for the overall visual effect you're seeking, and choose shower curtain rings that match the finish of your other fixtures for a cohesive look.

8. Add Improved Storage

Consider adding storage to the shower itself, as well as shelving near enough to reach from the shower area. This helps eliminate any stress that could occur as you try to prepare for your shower and guarantees that everything you need is easily on hand. There are numerous convenient storage options available to install in the shower itself, so spend some time evaluating these fixtures to determine what will work well for the members of your family.

9. Safety Features

Does anyone in your home have mobility issues? If so, now is the time to include important safety features around your shower. Grab bars, safety mats, or a walk-in shower with an accompanying shower seat can all make showering more relaxing and enjoyable. Kingston Brass offers numerous varieties of shower seats, allowing you to select one that's both attractive and practical. Consider what comfort and safety features will make it as easy as possible for everyone in your family to enjoy the shower oasis that you’re installing.

10. Upgrade Plumbing If Necessary

As you upgrade your shower fixtures, there’s a possibility you may also need to evaluate your plumbing and your hot water heater. If your new shower system will be pumping more water more quickly, you may need to make some changes so that everything works as smoothly as possible. Your fixtures will have information included with them about their hardware requirements, so you’ll know if you need to make any changes. As you adjust your plumbing and add new fixtures, you may also want to consider volume controls and diverters. A volume control tap helps make sure you have just the right amount of water for your shower to feel as luxurious as possible, and a diverter valve helps make sure that that water is going through the pipes to the correct fixtures.
