We are thinking about finishing part of our basement....We know we want a family/game room, a kitchenette, and a craft room, but....do we want to put in a bathroom?
Many sources, including BHG.com suggests that if you are going to finish part of your basement, you should include a bathroom, especially if the space will be used for entertaining.
If we chose to install a bathroom, do we go with a half bath (toilet and sink) or do we install a shower unit also? Handy Hubby says if you're going to put a bathroom in, you should also install a shower.
Because of limited space, I think a corner shower cubicle will be best. But I must tell you, while researching shower units on line, I found a lot of options. My Bathrooms Shower Sets has a great selection to choose from. They offer showers and so much more!
Some options to consider:
Glass doors - clear or textured, square or rounded, hinged or bi-fold, slider or pivot.
Stationary shower head or hand held. Top mounted or side mounted.
Trays - plain or textured. Surround walls - paneling or tile.
Color scheme - I am thinking that subtle blues and greens will definitely lighten up a basement bath.

Fixtures, seats, and so on. I could get all fancy here and say steam shower, body jets, or digital...but let's keep it real...it's a bathroom for the basement...I don't even have that fancy stuff in the master bathroom ;-)
I am confident that if we choose to put a bathroom in the basement, we can have a shower that is not only usable, but a little stylish also!
