Summer is officially here…and here in NC we’re already feeling it! So it seems like the perfect time to share some of my very favorite outdoor showers. (You can find the original post here.)
More and more, we see people moving their lives outside. We cook outside, we dine outside, we entertain outside. So why not shower outside?
Outdoor showers always make me think of my dad. When I was growing up, my family rented a house at the beach for a week each summer, and my dad refused to shower inside. Why track sand and salt through the house when you could leave it all outside? And if you can wash the kids and pets out there, even better!
But bathing al fresco isn’t just for the beach. Who wouldn’t love to rinse off with a beautiful mountain view? Outdoor showers have come a long way from the modest cinder block stall your grandparents had at their beach timeshare. These luxurious spaces have become a typical addition to smart houses and idea houses around the country. Here are just a few of my favorites.

Which shower style is your favorite? Do you love outdoor showers?
I think the last one is my favorite. I love how it blends in. The one with the toilet is brilliant though. Who didn’t have the grandparents/parents complaining about wet floors from the million trips inside from the pool we made as kids.

I love outdoor showers. Many of the homes in Key West have outdoor showers and once you feel that sun in the morning and stand under the moonlight at night while the palms rustle in the breeze you never want to live without one. This brought back many sybaritic memories. Thanks for a great post.

Thanks! An outdoor shower is a good option for summer. If you have a swimming pool, don’t forget to take a shower before swimming and after. It will help you avoid changes in the pH level of water and reduce the effect of chlorine on your skin and hair.
