Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

When you don’t have all of the accessories you need to shave in the shower, it results in mistakes, nicks and cuts. But this issue can be easily resolved with a modern, classic looking mirror that goes right in your shower.

The Zadro Fogless Shower Mirror is 8” in diameter, and the optical quality makes it a break-resistant mirror so you don’t have to worry about broken glass if it falls. This mirror also has a range from 1x to 5x magnification.

In order to install this item, all you have to do is use super hold suction cups. It also has a convenient shelf, which you can use to store small grooming products such as shaving cream, razors, etc.

Switching out your shower curtain for a new one is a fairly easy task, so if you’re wanting to create seasonal looks for your bathroom, this is one way to do it. Along with a patterned shower curtain, you can also purchase decorative shower curtain rings to complete the look.

This Fall Leaves Shower Curtain is perfect for autumn and even Thanksgiving. It features various colored falling leaves, and the curtain is made from fast-drying polyester. This curtain can be machine washed and tumble dried on low. It measures 70” square.

This shower curtain can be paired with green, orange, cream or yellow rugs and accents. Since there are so many colors in the design, it’s a versatile decoration so you might now have to buy new rugs when displaying it.

Unless you’re lucky enough to have an open shower, you’re going to have to add a curtain to your bathing space. Because there are so many options, you might be prone to choosing a simple or neutral color and pattern. While playing it safe is a good choice, it’s more fun to punch it up a notch.

Adding a bright striped or intricate patterned shower curtain to your bathroom can liven up the space, and if you have simple accessories, you need something to make a statement.

The Marimekko Kaiku Shower Curtain available on Amazon is full of color and personality. Love nature? Show it in your home by honoring its beautiful elements such as a tree or the ocean. This birch tree scene on the shower curtain brings the outdoors inside.

Plus, the bright green, black and white is a modern color palette to work with. You can incorporate wooden containers and woven baskets into your bathroom decor to reflect the natural setting.

Scented and colored soaps are the finest luxuries of a bath, and if you invest in the purest skin care products, you should display them for all to see. Plus, when you see how many soaps you have, you can always make sure you’re in stock.

This Large Glass Apothecary Jar with Finial Lid will add elegance to your bathroom counter, and it’s large enough to store your most coveted soaps. Just imagine this jar filled with lavender, vanilla, juniper and mint soaps. Each one’s beautiful colors will shine right through the jar.

The jar measures 17” tall and 6.5” in diameter, and each one is unique since the jars are handmade. You can also store spices, candy or potpourri in the jar, and feature it as a centerpiece if you don’t want to have it in your bathroom.

You might think you have no use for a bath stool, but it can make bath time more relaxing.

It doesn’t do any good to have your luxurious soaps and exfoliating loufas locked up in a bath cabinet. If you plan on using them before the next decade, you need to have better access to them. With a bath stool you can display these items in a tray and also have them right next to the tub.

This Teak Bath Stool from Gaiam is naturally water-resistant, and it’s constructed from sustainable teak grown a fair trade plantation in Indonesia.

You can keep your bathing supplies on the stool and use the stool after bathing as a seat for drying off and dressing.

Bathroom handles can be frustrating when they don’t function well. Whether you have a broken shower handle or despise the one that came with the house, the classic teapot design is a more desirable option to try.

The Delta Leland Porcelain Handle in Venetian Bronze is a timeless faucet option for your bath/shower, and its cast brass construction is more durable than those plastic pull-out handles. Since this design doesn’t have any gaps, it can be easily cleaned and it’s less likely to harbor germs.

If you like this design, there are also matching lever handles for the sink at Home Depot, so you can coordinate your entire bathroom in bronze/porcelain accents. This bathroom hardware would look lovely in a bathroom with warm toned stone floors and dark wood cabinetry.
