If you are ready to decorate the bathroom, one of the things that is going to have a major impact on this space is the shower curtain you choose to use. Think about it, the shower curtains are a large piece of the overall view of the bathroom. Making the right choice in shower curtains will set the scene for the rest of the bathroom décor.

Color or Patterns?

One of the things many people wonder is if they should go with a solid color or pattern. Here’s what you need to think about:

• Solids – If you know you want a particular color scheme to your bathroom, but you may change some of the decorative accents (palm trees one year and then seashells the next) you want to have curtains that will keep up with the change. A solid color will be able to bridge one accent design to the next.

• Patterns – If you know what you want and are sure your bathroom is not going to change for some time, you may want to purchase decorated pattern shower curtains. From fancy designs to those that are cute and whimsical, there is something to suit any decorative style.

Materials

It is important to consider the type of materials that are going into the shower curtains you plan to use. Here’s a look at the most common types:

• Synthetic - Most of the shower curtains you see in the store, especially those that are more economically priced are made of nylon, vinyl and other synthetic materials. They do the job of keeping water out of the rest of the bathroom but are not always the most attractive option.

• Cotton – There is beauty in cotton shower curtains as they are the real deal and fabric, but there are also downfalls. since they are fabric they can hold in water from the shower, which can make them mold and mildew so they need extra maintenance.

• Hemp – A little newer to the market and considered a good eco option is hemp. These shower curtains are made of a plant fiber that makes them feel like cloth, yet are naturally resistant to many bacterial attacks meaning they will need less maintenance than cotton.

If you are considering a bathroom makeover or just have an old tub you need to replace, there are a lot of options out there today when it comes to getting a new tub.

Here’s a checklist of things to consider before you buy:

Style – One of the first things you are going to need to consider is the style of the tub you want. This will in part depend on the decor you have going on in your bathroom. If you are going for a more modern look you may want a tub with a sleek design. If you have an old country or Victorian feel, you may want a freestanding four-footed tub to suit that theme.

Location – Where are you going to put the tub. Whether you are going to want a traditional wall tub, one that fits in a corner or a different space will depend on how you are trying to make the best use of space in your bathroom.

Soak or Shower? – Do you use your bathtub as a tub regularly or is it just the container your shower is in? This will make a difference in deciding whether you want a bathtub with comfort features for a soaking bath or if you want something simple that acts as mainly a base for your shower.

Soaking Room – If you know you will regularly take baths, you need to consider the size of the tub you are putting in your bathroom. A small, normal tub does not give you the space you need to stretch out and really soak. You may want to look for larger soaking tubs where you can remain comfortable as you kick back.

Whirlpool – Instead of just taking a typical bath, do you want to feel like you are at the spa? Perhaps you want to look into Whirlpool tubs that offer massaging jets to give you that spa feeling while you are getting clean.

All of these decisions will need to be made and once you know what you want, you will be able to pinpoint the perfect tub for your home.

When you have a new addition to your household, there are a lot of things to take into account to ensure all your baby’s needs met. One of those things is making sure is making your baby has a safe place to take a bath.

Bath time should be fun for parent and baby alike, not stressful. But if you are forced to hold your baby up with one hand while trying to wash him with the other, you maPostsy go from happy parent to stressed bather in no time.

This is why the PRIMO EuroBath was invented. This bath has two different sloping sides that will be usable by your baby from birth up to 2 years of age.

Both sides of the bath have support to keep your baby from slipping below the water’s surface – and the anatomical shape that keeps baby’s bottom in place  and there are arm and leg supports to keep your baby in a seated position.

Once you fill the baby bath, you can take all the time you need to wash, shampoo and rinse, then pull the plug in the bottom and the water is gone. Once dry, hang it on the back of a door where it will be out of the way until the next bath time.

The bath has a built in drain and two places where you can pop the soap, shampoo and washer out of the way.

What We Like:

• The non-toxic polypropylene plastic cleans up easily.
• It’s easy to use, just fill with water and it’s ready to go.
• It has a place to hold baby’s shampoo, soap and sponge.
• It is large so it will last your child for a long time.

Other Things to Consider:

• It’s big for a small baby and may not offer the support you need.
• It’s very large measuring 36″ long x 21″ wide x 10″ deep, and bulky (maybe too big to put on most counters)
• It can leak around the plug hole
• The baby can slide down the infant side of the tub
• If your baby tries to pull themselves up they may slip and fall as the surface is slippery.
