Essentials for Your Outdoor Shower
June 12, 2012 | At Home
An outdoor shower is a classic Hamptons summertime luxury. Not only is it essential for keeping sand out of the indoor plumbing, it's a source of happiness for homeowners and guests. Gazing up at the open blue sky, looking at the wisteria that drapes over the shower wall, and listening to the sounds of nature while showering equates to summer bliss. With the season upon us, here are easy ways to enhance your outdoor oasis.
Skip the white bath towels and go with bold, cheerful colors! These bright Calypso towels feature fringe and distinctly boho stripes.

For another after-shower option, pick up one of Roberta Freymann’s whimsically patterned towels.

Place a striking dish on top of a little stand outside the shower. If the weather forecast looks welcoming, keep the dish stocked with neatly rolled washcloths or mini toiletries.

Hooks are a must to accommodate robes, towels, and clean clothing. Urban Archaeology has a wonderful selection of hooks, but keep in mind that they'll require maintenance due to outdoor exposure.
