TURN YOUR OUTDOOR SHOWER INTO A FOCAL POINT
20 Dec 2011
You can turn that outdoor shower into a true focal point in your overall landscape design and really add some beauty (as well as utility) to your yard.
An outdoor shower can be a great addition to your pool area. It gives you an area where you can rinse off before and after swimming. It can also offer a refreshing burst of water on hot days. However, you can turn that outdoor shower into a true focal point in your overall landscape design and really add some beauty (as well as utility) to your yard.
Make It a Waterfall
If you like the look of natural stone and running water (and who doesn’t), then you can turn that outdoor shower into a waterfall. Placed next to the swimming pool, this can help you create a tranquil tropical getaway or the look of a stunning mountain retreat. With the right recirculation and water treatment system, you can even tie the waterfall/shower into the pool system if you like.
Create an Enclosed Private Shower
For those who enjoy outdoor bathing, you can turn your outdoor shower into a private oasis in which you can bathe in privacy. You can easily create walls around the shower to enclose it on all sides while leaving the roof open. The walls that you choose can combine different elements from your landscape design to tie everything together, as well. For example, if you use stacked stone in your landscape design, you can add that to the walls of your outdoor shower. If you prefer something a bit more rustic, you can use tropical elements, distressed wood planks, or even green walls.
Antiqued Elements
Another option for turning an outdoor shower into a focal point is to use antiqued components. You can find copper and brass components that will give your shower an elegant, Old World charm, or you can opt for Victorian style showerheads and other components. It’s really quite easy to turn an outdoor shower into an amazing focal point.
