{mosimage}Do you want to enjoy a spa-like shower experience in the privacy of your own home? When your bathroom design includes Moen's nine-inch rainshower shower head, you'll be able to lose yourself in the relaxation of a refreshing, all over body spray every time you take a shower. If you've enjoyed the benefits of showering with a high quality, forceful rainshower shower head before, you know just how invigorating this type of shower experience can be.

While there are a number of rainshower heads on the market, Moen's offering is unique and offers homeowners the ultimate in "spa at home" showering experiences. Moen's rainshower heads utilize the company's state of the art InvigoRain™ spray to provide powerful and relaxing water spray. Moen's InvigoRain™ technology is self-pressurizing, which sets it apart from other similar products.

“Most rainshower showerheads are gravity-fed so the water collects in the showerhead and slowly trickles out, creating a low-pressure, drooping effect,” said Atkins. “InvigoRain is self-pressurizing. It channels the water out of the showerhead for maximum water force and coverage.” With the Moen self-pressurizing rainshower, water is channeled through the fixture in a manner that produces up to three times as much spray as other rainshower fixtures on the market. What this means for you is that your shower experience will be consistently invigorating with this shower head, more so that with other available rainshowers.

For more information about the rainshower heads available in the Inspire product line, see www.moen.com or visit your local Lowe's retailer.

{mosimage}Want to add a little flair to your daily showers? How would you like to be able to tell what temperature the water is without having to "test the waters" and end up getting burned or a chilly surprise? When you install a Temperature Controlled Shower Light in your bathroom, you'll be able to do both.

This fun and practical shower accessory is specially designed to change colors based on the temperature of the water. The light's technology enables it to determine the temperature of the water, which impacts the light color. As logic would indicate, the light is blue when the water is cold, and it turns to red when the water is hot. When there is no water running, the light goes out.  

"It’s a product that we think is fun, funky and functional,” says Hog Wild President Joe Rooper. “It has a unique wow-factor that everyone enjoys, but is also very practical in helping prevent possible scalds or accidents.” Rooper says the light streams are an unexpected surprise and a real conversation starter.
The Temperature Controlled Shower Light is simple to install. If you want to incorporate this fun feature into your bathroom design, you'll just need to replace the aerator on your existing shower faucet. It installs in no time at all, and doesn't require any special tools or plumbing skills. Its universal adapter fits almost every faucet designed for use in the United States.

{mosimage} Each year thousands of children and adults are severely injured by scalding tap water. In fact, tap water scalds are the second most common cause of severe burn injuries among people of all ages. But now a new product line from American Valve called HotStop Scald Prevention Faucets, Tub Spouts & Showerheads aims to decrease those numbers worldwide.

How does HotStop work? When hot water reaches an unsafe temperature HotStop quickly reduces the water flow to a trickle to avoid scalding. Once the water in the line cools the flow re-starts automatically. The entire process usually takes less than 30 seconds.

All you have to do to protect your family from the dangers of shower and faucet scalding accidents is to replace your current shower head and bathtub faucet HotStop products. HotStop installs in just a few minutes, and you don’t need any special tools or expertise in plumbing to swap your current tub and shower hardware for HotStop pieces.
HotStop showerheads and tub spouts are UL listed and ASSE 1062 approved. Available products include an anti-scald tub spout, hand shower, shower head, and shower head and tub spout with diverter.

{mosimage}One of the biggest challenges with bathroom design is coming up with a solution to the problem of providing a sufficient amount of natural light in a relatively small interior location. The Solatube Daylighting System is an excellent way to bring much-needed light into the design of bathrooms of all sizes and styles. Bathroom design can be particularly challenging when it comes to making sure there is sufficient lighting, simply because most bathrooms have few, if any, windows that allow light to filter in.

In response to the demand for both function and style in bathroom, design, has introduced Solatube Designer Touches, a premium accessory line for the Solatube Daylighting System. “We recognize that adding daylight to an interior space should add both function and design,” said Robert Westfall Jr., Solatube International's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “With Solatube Designer Touches, it is possible to use daylighting with more style and impact than previously possible.” 

{mosimage}Making smart decisions about incorporating lighting into your bathroom design can make a huge difference in the way you see yourself. With BeautyWraps bathroom lighting by Kichler, you can easily see yourself more clearly in the bathroom mirror.

The side lighting incorporated into Kichler’s BeautyWraps eliminates the problem of dealing with the negative aspects of top mounted lighting. When your bathroom design features only top lighting above the mirror, all of your facial flaws are accentuated when you look in the mirror. The lines on your face look deeper, and your reflection is in shadow.

“If you want to see your true self, and a more flattering self at that, then you need lighting on each side of your face,” explains Tony Davidson, president and CEO of Kichler Lighting. Kichler’s beautiful and elegant BeautyWraps fixtures provide the most flattering type of lighting for any bathroom design.

Kichler BeautyWraps fixtures are easy to install, so it can be simple to improve the lighting design in your bathroom. Each fixture includes a top-mounted lighting fixture that comes with matching mini pendant lights on each side. It can be installed directly onto your existing top mounted light fixture.

“If your bathroom mirror is too large to have a sconce mounted on each side, BeautyWraps’ pendants can hang in front of the mirror,” says Davidson. “The mirror’s reflection further enhances the beauty of the pendants and the light’s soft effects.”

The Kichler BeautyWraps fixtures are available in three finishes:

Instead of allowing this to happen, the

Every person that has a small bathroom is interested in ways of making their bathroom appear larger.  Remodeling the bathroom is not always an option and in many cases, remodeling the bathroom would be very expensive.  There are a number of ways that a person can use to make their small bathroom seem larger without having to undertake any heavy construction.
{mosimage}
1. Soft Color for Walls
One of the easiest ways that a person can alter their small bathroom design to make it appear larger is to choose light soft colors for the décor of the bathroom.  

2. Accent with Color
Bright, bold colors can be used in small bathrooms, assuming you reserve them for accents only. Going overboard with bold or dark colorstend to make the bathroom appear tighter and more intimate.  

3. Visual Accents
If your bathroom has wallpaper, avoid using large prints or busy pattern. Instead, choose very subtle wallpaper patterns. Better yet, keep one wall free from any pattern at all. Consider making the largest wall in the small bathroom into a mural of an open space.  

4. Light Tones of Bathroom Flooring
Just like light colors on the walls, light colors on the flooring of the small bathroom will help make the bathroom appear roomier and more open.  The most popular colors for a light bathroom floor are tans, light grays, and light blues.  By incorporating these colors into the flooring of your small bathroom design, you will have the basis for a light colored decorating scheme that will make your bathroom appear more open.

5. Pedestal Sink
Another small bathroom design that can be used to make a bathroom appear larger is to replace a large vanity or countertop with a slimmer, pedestal sink.  A pedestal sink can be found in many different styles, colors, and materials, allowing them to be matched to any décor.  By placing a pedestal sink in the small bathroom, you can open up the bathroom space by another ten percent.

6. Classic Fixtures
When selecting fixtures for your bathroom, keep in mind they are going into a small space. Choose simple designs made from smooth surfaces, such as ceramic and marble, and opt for light, neutral tones.
{mosimage}
7. Additional Lighting Fixtures
Additional lighting in a small bathroom can make a world of difference in the way the space in the bathroom is perceived.  Consider adding additional light fixtures or using higher wattage bulbs, as appropriate. By making the bathroom brighter and more inviting, it seems that the space has opened up and the walls are farther apart.  

8. Increase Natural Light
There are a variety of ways that additional lighting can be added to the small bathroom without taking up more space than is already used, including installing a new window, or even putting in a skylight.

9. Limit Items in Bathroom
Many people choose to open up the amount of space available in their small bathroom by greatly reducing the amount of items that they place into the bathroom.  Items such as storage shelves, hampers, and decorative items all take up valuable space in a small bathroom and the bathroom will appear much larger if these items are removed and the things that they hold are stored somewhere else.  
{mosimage}
10. Consider Storage Outside the Bathroom
Some people choose to place a small storage cabinet in their hallway near the bathroom as a place to put all of the things that they would normally keep in their bathrooms. It's also a good idea to consider putting laundry hampers in the bedrooms instead of in the bathroom. Extra supplies and paper products can even be stored in the pantry.

11. Adding Mirrors
Adding additional mirrors to the bathroom will also help the bathroom appear bigger than it really is.  Placing additional mirrors in the bathroom will help to capture all of the available light and reflect it back into the room to make it brighter.  Adding extra mirrors to the room will also add depth to the room, as the mirrors reflect each other and make the walls appear farther away.  

12. De-Clutter
Other ways you can use to make a small bathroom design appear larger include removing clutter and extra items. Instead of storing all of your beauty items on the counter, place them in a cabinet or in the medicine chest when not in use.

{mosimage}Remodeling a small bathroom can be a hectic experience for even the most organized people.  There are so many things to take into consideration, including which colors to use, which fixtures to choose, and what style of bathroom appliances you would like to include in your design plan.  When planning to redesign or remodel a small bathroom, there are 5 essential things that you must keep in mind when arranging your design.

1.  Choose Bathroom Appliances And Fixtures That Are Small
Although having the long, luxurious soaking bathtub may seem attractive, it is just not practical in a small bathroom.  Choosing smaller appliances and fixtures for a small bathroom will open up the amount of space that is available in the bathroom, which makes the bathroom appear larger and more comfortable.  Many people choose to place slim pedestal sinks and doorless showers in their small bathroom area so that they will have a functional full bath in a small amount of space.

2.  Choose Colors That Are Light
Studies have repeated shown that using light colors to decorate an area makes the area appear more open and spacious.  For this reason, dark bold colors should be avoided in a small bathroom as they will make the bathroom appear much smaller and more claustrophobic, while light soft colors will make the walls appear farther apart and the available space seem more open.  The walls are not the only things that should be covered with a light color as dark fixtures in the bathroom will also make the bathroom appear smaller.

3.  Keep The Lighting In The Bathroom Bright
{mosimage}A small bathroom that is brightly lit by attractive lighting appears much larger than a bathroom that is lit dimly with muted lighting.  There are many ways to add additional lighting into a small bathroom without taking up any more room or making the room appear too crowded with lighting.  Some people choose to place recessed lighting in the walls and ceiling of the bathroom to add plenty of additional light while avoiding having to match the lighting to the previously chosen décor or having to purchase bulky lighting fixtures for the bathroom.

4.  Do Not Place A Large Amount Of Storage Space In The Bathroom
It is important to remember that there is a limited amount of space in a small bathroom and everything that is placed in the bathroom reduces the amount of space that the user has to move comfortably.  If possible, storage items should be placed outside of the small bathroom, such as a closet in the hall or in a small cabinet placed in a convenient location.  By reducing the amount of items located in the bathroom, you will create more open space for maneuvering and the bathroom will seem more comfortable.

 5.  Choose Soft Patterns And Accents For The Bathroom
One of the biggest mistakes that many people make when remodeling their small bathroom is

Your choice in kitchen cabinets can affect all the ideas you may have for the new feeling that you have for your kitchen. This allows you to try to understand alternate facets to the usage and life of your kitchen from day to day.

There is much you need to learn before you decide on the right method of storage for yourself. Deciding on whether to utilize the various public storage facilities out in the world today or using the storage cabinets incorporated into the daily basis of your home will allow you to make better use of the space you have come to know best as your residence.

Everyone loves a good, durable sink; everyone loves a good cabinet. However, it is not always easy to get the two together.

Everyone loves a good bathroom cabinet. There are so many things that they are good for: holding linen, toiletries, and other fanciful things.

Cabinets add a special feel to almost any room. Depending on the cabinet, you can get functionality or beauty; those lucky few get a beautiful mixture of both.

There is a lot to be said about a vanity; there is a lot to be said about a bathroom vanity. You get the best of two worlds: the beautiful and versatility of a vanity combined with the exquisite craftsmanship and versatility of a bathroom.

Nothing says more about a person than how they keep their bathroom. However, I think you can get a lot more character out of a small bathroom than a large one.

Nothing is as marvelous and inventive as a well made cabinets. Some cabinets have a better reputation and a better purpose than other cabinets.

When you want a bathroom that is decorative, beautiful, and simplistic, you want appliances for that bathroom that reflect the most functional beauty they can reflect. This is not always a simplistic task, but there are some ways that are easier to accomplish this goal than others.

Perhaps nothing is as original and wonderful as a cabinet. Now, you think about the one place in your home that those cabinets are the center point and the kitchen comes to mind.
