They say there\u2019s no place like home, but once summer rolls around, our space\u2019s four walls suddenly feel restricting. Where the action\u2019s really<\/em> at is, of course, our backyard<\/a>. The sun\u2019s shining\u2014and the pool\u2019s right there<\/em>\u2014so we want to do just about everything outdoors. While some homeowners are decking out their decks or patios with weather-resistant furniture<\/a> or al fresco kitchens, others are zeroing in on outdoor showers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When most people think about outdoor showers<\/a>, they might envision a dinky shower head near the entrance of your town\u2019s public beach or nearby beach. Somewhere to rinse off before you go home, but not necessarily where you\u2019d take an actual <\/em>shower. However, with the help of an interior designer, it\u2019s possible to make these setups functional, fashionable, and effortlessly relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An outdoor shower reminds us of being at the beach, even when we're not,\u201d explains Lindsay Anyon Brier of Anyon Atelier + Design<\/a>, which has offices in Dallas and San Francisco. \u201cIt's a wonderful way to add an outdoor experience to our summer wellness routine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From finding the perfect place for your outdoor shower to installing the proper plumbing, incorporating this element requires thoughtful planning and patience. While you should hire a professional to take on the heavy lifting, you don\u2019t have to look far for design inspiration. To help, we tapped some of our favorite West Coast designers to share their favorite outdoor showers\u2014and tips for recreating the look in your own backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
