shampoo storage in tub/shower combo
Comments (0)I'm trying to figure out what to do about this. I pretty much have no where for the recessed niche kind of thing because I have a lot of pocket doors in my bathroom walls. I also don't think I want the little corner shelf kind of thing because I want an uncluttered look and there's going to be a bunch of other stuff in there. At one end will be the handheld shower and that long cord and potentially a slide bar plus all the controls and on the side will be a horizontal grab bar. At the other end of the tub will be some kind of towel rack because it's one of the two places we can hang a towel and I want a place to hang two damp towels to dry. So what I was thinking is that I'd like some kind of shelf above this towel rack at the end of the tub. I also like that this wall is not one that you see when you walk by the bathroom so you don't see this "clutter" every time you look into the bathroom. I saw someone here had a combo towel rack with a glass shelf above and I kind of liked that idea. Could either be a combo or a towel rack and separate shelf above. DH doesn't like the idea of the glass shelf. He saw some wire basket like thing and wanted that because water can drain through it. I didn't really care for that - like the clean, simple lines of the shelf. Today I saw one of these wire rack type things at a showroom and they told me it was not for use in a tub/shower area. So now I'm thinking of telling DH his idea just won't work. Is there any other option I should be considering - for a shelf that would go across the short end of the tub/shower combo - above a towel rack? Or is there some other option I haven't yet considered that would make for a clean, uncluttered look?...See MoreSoap dish with washcloth holder for tiled tub/shower?
Comments (10)I have that exact Simple Human set up in my downstairs shower. It is the only one I've ever had (after innumerable cheap ones from Linens and Things, Target, HD, etc) that didn't rust and stain the fiberglass walls. The others I've had looked like chrome but didn't hold up like real chrome. The thing I like about the one pictured is the shelves adjust from right to left, too, so you can have a tall bottle with the other shelf offset. It has nice cloth holding hooks,and the soap doesn't slip through the wire (through the upper edge) like it did on some others I've had. The suction cups actually work, too. I really love Simple Human products. (they have the best toilet bowl brushes and holder, too.)...See MoreWhat to hang above a free standing tub?
Comments (49)Not a fan of that light fixture. Would not want to look at/into the light but rather have the fixture provide light for the room. If you want an interesting ceiling hung light, consider this LED one: https://www.beautifulhalo.com/6led-leaf-design-semi-flush-light-nordic-style-acrylic-ceiling-flush-mount-in-warmwhiteneutral-p-326243.html?currency1=USD&track=PA_G_SUS325&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1IbvvfjH5QIVVdyGCh0DNgObEAQYASABEgI74fD_BwE You might consider a faux window light -- perhaps even a stained glass one: http://diphotoshop.com/3-tips-for-highlighting-the-exterior-architecture-of-your-home/ http://nanobolt.co/fake-window-light-box/ Or a fake window skylight light: The local hospital has one but I couldn't find a pic on line that would load. Are you aware that there are light fixtures made specifically for corners? I like this one best: http://kapemvun.info/foliage-not-flowers/ but there are others worth considering, too. http://kapemvun.info/easy-fix-for-fall-flowers-to-get-up-your-garden-2/ http://kapemvun.info/10-no-fail-drought-tolerant-perennials-for-low-water-gardens/...See Moreshower shelf or shower basket
Comments (9)Thanks for your comments (hadn't thought about cleaning aspect). That's the medium size basket, could get large if it makes more sense. The bath also has a rim/shelf, we'll have a shower curtain with new setup, so that's a viable space, too. On the current fiberglass surround, we keep shampoo/rinse on rim/shelf at back of tub and soap on shelf by showerhead. So the baskets could be primarily for soap since we're already trained. One of my concerns was whether or not the front of shower would be too visually cluttered with all the shower hardware and baskets....See Moresuzanne_sl
