Shower Cabins - A Reason to Sing...

Singing in your shower cabin is a great way to start the day on a positive (if out of tune) note.
Singing in the shower cabin is a widespread phenomenon. So much so, that one singing teacher in America hit the headlines for making her career out of teaching people how to sing in the shower cabin – explaining how to hit the right notes without dropping the soap! It sounds crazy, but bathroom singing is a habit that has been going on for centuries. Shower cabins provide a unique echo chamber; the tiles reflect the sounds, enriching the voice. Singing in the shower is a chance to stretch the vocal chords as the small dimensions and hard surfaces of a typical shower cabin create a reverberating depth.

Shower Cabins – Hitting the Right Notes

Some believe the phenomenon of singing in the shower cabin, or the bath, is due to the hot steamy air lifting the spirits, creating a joyful experience prompting the bather to burst into song! Showering does create a feeling of complete refreshment, awakening the body and mind – so why not make a song and dance of it? Famous singers often practice their singing in the shower cabin or their bathroom. Singer-song writer Paul Simon has been quoted as being a fan: “The main thing about playing the guitar," Simon said, “was that I was able to sit by myself and play and dream. And I was always happy doing that. I used to go off in the bathroom, because the bathroom had tiles, so it was a slight echo chamber. I'd turn on the faucet so that water would run - I like that sound, it's very soothing to me - and I'd play. In the dark. 'Hello darkness, my old friend / I've come to talk with you again.'"

Shower Cabins versus the Bath

Although the shower cabin is a good place for a brisk burst of song, the bath is often cited as a place for inspiration. Lying in the bath is a contemplative act leading to many a ‘Eureka!’ moment. Singing in the bath is also something featured in movies, such as Julia Roberts and her karaoke moment in Pretty Women. The shower cabin is a favourite spot – in a Flintstones episode Barney was so great at singing in the shower, Fred urged him to enter a talent combination, only to discover outside of the shower cabin Barney had no talent whatsoever. For some fledging singers shower cabins are a truly a safe haven – a private place to practice. But for most of us, the shower cabin is perfect because it is private, so nobody can hear out of tune we are! The phenomenon is so huge in some cultures that in India a TV channel launched a reality TV show based on the idea called Bathroom Singer.

Shower Cabins - Space Solutions...

A shower cabin is perfect if you want to install a shower room but are short of space.
Research shows that improvements on bathrooms and kitchens are the two rooms in a house that offer a return on your investment: bathrooms and kitchens sell houses. And if you just have one bathroom in your home, installing a shower cabin in a dedicated shower room could make all the difference. Whether you are building an en-suite or turning a utility room into a shower room, there are a wide variety of shower cabin designs available at affordable prices, ensuring you get the right fit. Shower cabin designs can be at prices you’ll be pleasantly surprised by, whether you’re looking for a basic shower cabin or a luxurious spa-style shower cabin.

Shower Cabins are a Wise Investment

The investment return on your home can be much more than the initial spend on the additional en-suite or shower room. Investing in a shower cabin is important for expanding families, or if you share a house or are thinking of renting a room for extra income. Having the extra shower cabin is more appealing as it means no more queuing for the shower, offering convenience for those who need to have the flexibility of grabbing a fast shower in today’s time-starved culture.

Shower Cabins For Independence

Turning a space into a shower room or even installing a shower cabin in a large bedroom provides a sense of independence for those who are in a house share. A shower cabin can also be necessary for a family with dependents such as teenagers or elderly grandparents who want a degree of independence.

Installing Shower Cabins Improve your Living Space

It doesn’t matter if you are looking to make your home more adaptable to your lifestyle or if you are sprucing it up for a quick sale, sprucing up your bathroom with a new shower cabin is one of the most valuable things you can do. Shower cabins offer a great space solution if you want to install that extra bathroom but have limited space. Homes that have just one bathroom are much harder to sell as families expect the flexibility of two – especially if they have children. Adding a shower room or installing a shower cabin is one way of getting around the fact you might have limited space, and it will enhance the sell-ability and liveability of your home, whether you plan to sell or stay put. For parents who crave their own private space from the kids – installing a shower cabin in an en-suite off the master bedroom is a particularly valuable home improvement!
