The Best Shower Accessories For Safety And Comfort For Your Laguna Niguel, CA Bathroom

These Are Our Favorite Safety
And Accessibility Features


If you’re already planning on a shower remodel in Laguna Niguel, CA, it’s a great opportunity to make your home safer and more comfortable. There are a surprising amount of ways to add practical safety features to your showers.

All things considered, you spend a lot of time in the shower. It just makes sense to make showering as comfortable as possible.

With the low threshold of a walk-in shower, they’re already safer than baths, but the advantages don’t stop there. Here are some of our favorite features and accessories for accessible shower remodels.


1. Make Your Walk-In Shower Easier To Walk In

Adding a texture to your shower floor can make a serious difference in the safety of your shower. A shower floor that’s easy to grip eliminates slippery conditions, protecting you and your family from falls.


2. Take A Seat Thanks To Your Shower Remodel

A built-in bench is a great addition to any shower remodel. They’re easy to clean compared to traditional shower seats, and more attractive, too. They’re handy for washing legs and feet, and offer a great place to rest while showering.


3. Handheld Shower Heads Make Bathing A Breeze

A handheld showerhead makes it easy to clean yourself while seated on a shower seat or bench and can eliminate the need to twist and turn while you rinse off. Parents and grandparents love them, too. They’re the easiest way to give babies a bath.


4. Fixtures Anywhere You Need On The Shower Wall

If you plan to use a handheld showerhead while seated, it makes sense to put it somewhere that’s easy to reach. At Shugarman’s Bath, we can place your shower fixtures and controls wherever they work best for you.

Placing things lower or near benches can be convenient for the entire family. Children and adults alike can reach easily, and those who like to shower while seated don’t have to get up.


5. Ask For More Storage In Your Shower Remodel

Adding quality storage solutions to a shower remodel can make a bigger difference than you’d think! Don’t let your family trip over bottles in the shower or wear yourself out picking up the rain of bottles that inevitably fall to the floor in poorly designed showers.

Shugarman’s Bath offers beautiful and secure shelving options that won't send your soap bottles flying each time you shower.


6. The Right Shower Door Can Make A Big Difference

Picking the right shower door can also make a big difference. A door that’s too heavy or improperly installed can be difficult to open, which is especially dangerous on a slippery floor after a shower.

Curtains are easier to open, but they’re easy to trip on, too. Not to mention, they can be a hotbed for mold and mildew, which can lead to air quality problems in the bathroom.

We can help you find a shower door that’s right for you. Whether you need a frameless, lightweight glass door or a particular type of handle, we’ll work with you to find the perfect option.


7. Grab Bars Add Security To Your Shower Walls

Grab bars are a popular addition to shower remodels in the Orange County area, and for good reason. A well-placed grab bar makes reaching down for a dropped bar of soap a breeze. Homeowners love them for washing the bottoms of their feet without slipping, as well.

This classic addition to a shower remodel can be placed at the optimal height for homeowners, and their placement is customized for each individual job. The versatility and simplicity of grab bars adds security without taking up space, and are one of the most popular accessibility features for showers and baths alike.

Whether you’re looking to age in place, sell your home for more, or be a gracious host, accessibility features can bring comfort and value to your bathroom.
