Hello World! Welcome Friends! What inexpensive way can you think of to have a refreshing start each day? Eat yogurt? Drink a freshly made fruit smoothie? Maybe do some journaling and morning pages? No need to think hard, folks, and come up with a complicated list of morning routine.
Before you start your day and conquer your workload one after another, nothing beats a refreshing shower in the morning. It even does a better job at waking you up than your alarm clock. You can definitely ignore that annoying buzz but a cold splash on your body? Never. Trust me, you’ll wake up automatically once you’ve hopped in the shower.
And speaking of waking up, you probably heard about those “Aha!” moments in the bathroom, especially of people working in creative fields. Also, does Archimedes’ “Eureka!” moment ring a bell? It’s crazy how you brainstorm that hard in the conference room with your colleagues to come up with new ideas only to find out your ideas weren’t even that unique. Worse, they were just a copycat of something else.
And here you are in the bathroom, taking a glorious shower and suddenly, you are your most creative self. When that “Aha!” moment came, you finally thought outside the box. You can’t wait to meet your team and talk about your brilliant pitch this morning.
If this is exactly you, then there’s a good reason you should make your bathroom as inspiring as possible. Wait, what? Bathroom? Why not? Your workspace isn’t the only thing that should be inspiring. After all, we do a lot of thinking in the shower. Lots. of. it. And oh, did you forget about those brilliant ideas that you generate in that peaceful part of your morning routine?
Also, at the end of a long day, nothing feels more relaxing than a warm, aromatic bath. You instantly feel like you’re in a spa, when in fact, you’re just in your own place. That’s indeed another reason to beautify this essential part of your home.
Now, let’s talk about picking the right items when shopping around for your bathroom essentials. We’ve rounded up tips to make it easier for you.
Consult an Interior Designer First
If you want a particular theme or feel, but you don’t know how to execute your design ideas, it’s better to ask an interior designer to create a plan and oversee your project. A good interior designer will handle important things like finding ways to maximize a space and to make it look at its best, look for supplies that are efficient yet reasonably priced and make sure that all the details are in line with the general theme you’ve already talked about.
With a trusted and reliable interior designer, you don’t even have to lay a finger, except if you yourself want to be more hands-on in the shopping department. The next thing you’ll know, your designer is surprising you with the reveal of your newly revamped bathroom. For more design tips, read this related content.
Know the Basic Types of Shower Heads
When it comes to shower heads, there are different types available. You’ll literally get dizzy with the choices, especially if you don’t know any of their particular specs. What are the basic types you can choose from?
Wall-Mount
Among all the major types, this standard model is the most budget-friendly. The price of the item itself is economical, but not only that, you’ll be able to cut back cash on the installation process because this model doesn’t need major renovation. It works with existing plumbing. For your preference and convenience, you may choose one that provides extra features such as adjustable nozzles.
Hand-Held
Another model that’s very easy to install is the hand-held shower head. You can either choose to keep it mounted on the wall while you’re showering or detach it temporarily for those hard-to-rinse areas on your body then mount it back on. Adjusting its height is easy and convenient, too. Hand-held showers range from budget-friendly prices like wall-mount models.
Top-Mount aka Rain Showers
If you’re constructing a new bathroom or doing a major renovation, you should seriously think about this option. Rain showers provide that satisfying, glorious shower experience. And this is what we’re talking about a while ago—you’ll automatically wake up with that generous amount of splash, the drenching experience is truly enjoyable.
Though it may not come cheap, the satisfying shower experience you’ll get on a daily basis is definitely worth it. Think of it as a long-term investment. You also might want to look up the best electric showers that are easy to install in a DIY environment.
Aside from your main shower head, you may also opt to add extra features such as body sprays and spa shower panels. These are installed in vertical rows on opposite walls to create a crisscrossing splash that targets specific body areas from your head to toe.
Before you shop for these items, you can also read reviews online to find out what best suits your needs and budget. You can visit useful resources such as Everything Showers and Bath website.
Create a Focal Point with the Tub
A spacious bathroom calls for a statement tub. But the look isn’t the only thing that matters. Consider your height and size. Also, if you have a spouse, you might want to get a size that’s big enough for the two of you.
Choose either a soaking tub or a whirlpool tub as these types provide a major relaxation experience in the bath.
Consider Your Needs and Lifestyle
It is important to consider your needs and lifestyle when shopping for other features. Ask yourself: What other features would make my morning and night routine easier and more relaxing? Would these additional features really fit my daily lifestyle or am I just buying them impulsively?
Give these questions an honest look. When you do so, you’ll avoid spending unnecessarily on items that you don’t really need.
