deep-water-bathIf you are like most people, you love the idea of a luxurious soaking tub. Kicking back and feeling your body engulfed in nice warm water is heaven! Sadly it may be something you only think you can get in a spa or luxury resort.

While your tub is big enough for you to lounge back, you can’t get the water deep enough to make it feel like it’s a real good bath because as soon as the water gets to the overflow drain, it stops filling and a good portion of your body is out of water.

Now you can stop the overflow drain from doing it’s job just long enough for you to enjoy a little more depth in your tub for that well needed soak.

In many tubs, the overflow drain stops water from coming into your tub about half way up the tub. That’s a lot of open space that could be filled up to make you the perfect soaking bath. With the Deep Water Bath , you can push the plastic cover right over the overflow drain to let it fill up past that line. A set of suction cups holds it in place.

What We Like

  • This is a very economical solution to a long-standing problem in regular tubs.
  • This is an easy solution to an old problem, just push it in place and it’s ready to work for the whole bath.
  • It’s clear. That means when you put it on the side of the tub or elsewhere to store it after the bath it is not an ugly eyesore piece.

Some things to consider:

  • The suction is not as strong as we would like and sadly it doesn’t take much to dislodge the unit, ending that relaxing soak.
  • It needs to be regularly cleaned or it stores up soap scum and can have mildew.

umbra-aquala-bathtub-caddyWhen its time for your “ME TIME” why not set yourself up in luxurious bubble bath and take time out with a book and glass of wine. Sounds too difficult! Not anymore.

Imagine soaking in the tub while reading a book, enjoying that glass of wine or even a delicious dessert. It sounds like the sort of treatment you would get at a spa, doesn’t it?

Well you can now have that spa treatment in your own home with the Umbra Aquala Bathtub Caddy. No more soggy pages when you read in the bath.

The Umbra Aquala Bathtub Caddy designed by Luciano Lorenzatti is essentially a bamboo tray with a metal hook edge that spans your bathtub and holds itself up on the sides.

The tray comes with all the features you need to have whatever you want in the tub with you.

There is a fold down book support so that you can  lean that new novel back on the rack while you lean back, soak and enjoy a few pages in luxury.

The tray also has a wine glass holder as well as a circular indented holder which can be used to set the soap so it’s within reach or even to set a sundae bowl that you can enjoy while in the tub.

At 28 x 8 ½ inches it will fit most normal tubs. While it is large enough to spread across the tub when you need it, storage isn’t a problem when its not in use as the handles fold in and it becomes much smaller and compact so it can be easily tucked away.

What We Like

  • This is a fun luxury item at a very affordable price.
  • This is much more attractive than a lot of others we looked at.
  • The book holder  folds away and does its job better than most other models on the market.
  • Made from  Bamboo which is a renewable resource  and it is water and mold resistant.
  • Built in wine glass holder

Other considerations:

  • If you have an oversized bathtub, this will not fit it so just be sure to check the  measurements.

How To Choose A Shower Curtain

shower-curtain-expressions-deep-blueBathroom shower curtains are available in an extensive range of styles, patterns, colors, and a variety of textures including plastic, vinyl, fabric and rice paper. Your biggest problem will be deciding on which pattern to choose to compliment your bathroom.

Use brightly colored curtains in nautical styles, dolphins ,  animal prints, novelty prints, designer colors and textures and abstract designs to bring life to a tired looking bathroom.

Shower curtains come in a range of sizes to suit different styles and sizes of shower stalls and bathtubs including the old-style claw foot bathtub. To compliment a bathroom with an old style bathtub purchase a curtain that suits the era. Shower curtains in a subtle color are probably more suited to an older style bathroom rather than an abstract design or bold colors, which are more suited to a modern bathroom design.

Check if your shower curtains come packaged with shower hooks to match. There is an extensive range of plain and novelty shower rings including football shapes, fish hook shapes, rubber duck shapes, seashell shapes; in fact an almost endless number of styles. Novelty shower hooks will add character to your bathroom.

The necessary care of your curtains depends on the material base. Nylon shower curtains will only require a wipe over with a damp cloth whereas fabric curtains may be machine or hand-washed using a mild detergent. Always read the instructions to ensure you launder them correctly. Your bathroom will look 100% with curtains that are kept clean and free from mold.

4 Hot Reasons For Buying A Towel Warmer

warmrails-towel-warmer-and-drying-rackOh what a feeling – few things beat stepping out of a shower and wrapping yourself in a warm, fluffy towel. It is the pleasure of this decadent warmth that encourages people to buy towel warmers. Perhaps you’re not sure about spending the money to buy such a luxury item. However, there are plenty of practical reasons for buying and installing warmers in your bathroom!

Here are four of the best:

1. Towel warmers are an efficient source of heat in the bathroom. Most central heating elements are not energy efficient, meaning there are high costs associated with heating the room. These warmers, however, are highly efficient, costing only cents to keep the bathroom warm, so installing them to supplement your central heating can be very cost-effective. Many also come with timers, so that you can set them to turn on at the appropriate time, making them even more cost efficient.

2. Heated towel rails can be used to dry delicate clothes that would be destroyed in a regular dryer. Hanging children’s blankets, bathing suits, and other delicates on your towel warmer is much more energy efficient than running your regular dryer.

4. Towel warmers are a stylish addition to your bathroom’s design. They come in a variety of colors and styles to match any bathroom. They can be set up as standalone units, hung from the walls, or even installed behind doors.To add flair and style to your bathroom, towel drying rails are an excellent choice.

Are you convinced yet? Towel warmers are becoming more and more popular, and for a good reason!

accessory-contempoChoosing updated bathroom accessories is one of the fun things to do to update your bathroom. If your bathroom currently looks a little drab and needs some life breathed into it, adding some new accessories will help to make things look better. Either check out your local bedroom and bathroom supply store or check out our online merchants to find some great ideas for items that will add character to bathroom.

You spend some time in your bathroom each day so it should reflect your style and make you feel comfortable.

As functional a space as a bathroom is, it doesn’t take much to make it stylish. Infusing your style into your bathroom will ensure that you enjoy the time you spend there. Once you recognize what your style is you will find it easy to choose the accessories that are right for you.

One of the first things that you should consider is the color scheme. If the paint is in good condition and color that you like, you are off to a good start. If the paint on the bathroom walls is white, you can choose any color accessories that you like!

Bed and bath stores and online merchants typically carry shower curtains, rugs, towels, washcloths, and towels in a large variety of colors and patterns. Once you have these things you are ready to accessorize. Flowers and shells are some of the most common accessories, though many people indulge a sense of fun with things such as rubber ducks on their towels or shower curtain.

Shelves and towel racks are practical features for a bathroom.


Even if you don’t need the storage space, shelves are a handy for candles, knick-knacks, potpourri, and decorative soaps and lotions. Wooden shelves add a country feel, glass shelves including beveled glass have a more neutral look, and there is plastic coated wire for practicality. All of these shelves not only look good they give you flat surfaces to show of all sorts of decorations.

Accessorizing the bathroom with prints is a great way to dress up the walls. Use frames that match the rest of your bathroom to show off your favorite prints of water scenes, scenes of nature, or whatever else will match your bathroom. Hanging baskets of flowers on the wall, is a very nice finishing touch to accessorizing your bathroom, along with burning scented candles for a refreshing aroma.
