Making the Case
for a Urinal at Home
There are plenty of reasons why your house needs one. Here are just a few.
A well-designed bathroom is something you feel as much as you see. It's about the sensations that are brought about by good taste and investing in oneself. It's about the perfect water temperature and equally great water pressure. It's about hearing your favorite tunes while you focus on some self-care. It's about the sensory satisfaction of stepping on smooth teak wood or wrapping your body in a warm towel. We can't all renovate our bathrooms, but there are relatively simple upgrades we can make. These suggestions will turn a functioning-at-best bathroom into the most luxurious spot in your place.
A Smarter Shower
You can control the U by Moen Smart Shower with a well designed app. Presets in the app let you make profiles with custom temperatures for different members of your household. Moen will also warm up the shower and pause the water-flow when it's ready. You can also set it to time your shower perfectly to find a little extra room in your morning schedule. The downside? It requires professional installation, which adds to the already investment-level price.

A Luxe Landing Pad
There's nothing sexy or zen about stepping out of a soothing, warm shower onto a cold floor or soggy bath mat. But having a durable and water-resistant, slatted teak wood mat? That's sexy and feels damn good under your feet.

Serious Sound
Whether you get down with some early morning shower karaoke or just want to stream tunes or a podcast while you're getting ready in the morning, there are much better options than the tiny speaker on your phone. Kohler's well-reviewed Moxie showerhead includes a water-resistant Bluetooth-enabled magnetic speaker that easily pops in and out for easy recharging. Or simply add a Sonos Play:1 speaker, which delivers surprisingly rich sound despite its small size. Plus, it's humidity resistant.

Smart, Stylish Storage
It's tough, we know. Bathrooms are notoriously small. And it's a room that somehow acquires mounds of stuff. But those precarious stacks of magazines or the toilet paper mountain? Not cool. There are smart storage containers available that will keep your bathroom organized, while adding some style and character to the room. From rust-proof stainless steel cubbies and cabinets to adaptable bamboo shelves that tuck into a corner or around the pipes under your sink.

Pure Luxury
If you've ever stayed in a high-end hotel with a heated towel rack, then you know the sumptuous pleasure of wrapping yourself in a warm towel. These also dry out your towel quickly, keeping it fresher smelling while eliminating mildew growth. A wall-mounted rack will take expert installation, but a sleek freestanding option like this won't take up much space (and can still be mounted if you so desire).
