The Power Of The Shower: Freshen Up Your Space With These 5 Tips

No matter when you choose to clean up, there are a number of ways to easily transform your shower space into a productive – and relaxing oasis. Here are five ideas to help set the mood and maybe even change your daily outlook, all of which can be completed in the time it takes for you to lather, rinse and repeat.

1. Clean Up Your Space. Starting with a clean, well-organized shower sets the tone for a truly relaxing experience. Declutter the shower by installing shelves or storage pieces. Some shelves and accessories pull double duty and feature bath safety elements, like grab bars, to make your shower safer and clutter free.

2. Home Spa Experience. If you’re looking to maximize relaxation time in the shower, try replacing your existing showerhead with an option that offers multiple spray settings like the new Magnetix hand showers from Moen Canada. A powerful magnetic dock allows for easy release and replace of the showerhead, even with your eyes closed, so there’s no need to interrupt your Zen. Magnetix features six high-performance spray options, ranging from massage to combinations of soft and forceful, full-rinse sprays.

3. Think about functional designs. Sitting down in the shower is another way to relax while you scrub. For ladies, a shower seat will reduce the strain put on your back and neck while shaving, and at the same time can help prevent falls. If you’re short on space, look for a model that folds down to provide a seat when you need it and then neatly tucks away when you don’t. A curved rod is another great addition for smaller showers. There are curved rods in a variety of styles and finishes to perfectly match any décor, providing up to seven inches of additional space inside the shower.

4. Beautify Your Surroundings. Adding a bit of greenery can perk up any room, so why not the shower? Try adding plants to give the illusion of a lush outdoor experience. A philodendron is a perfect option because it doesn’t need soil and can thrive in smaller containers. Bringing in aromatic plants can also help calm the mind. Try adding a few sprigs of eucalyptus or lavender. As the shower fills up with steam, the fragrance will carry throughout the room.

5. Don’t underestimate the power of your shower. In a hectic world, we all need to take a minute and pamper ourselves whenever possible. Starting with a relaxing shower will help you tackle anything your day throws at you – or have you prepped and ready for a good night’s sleep.
