No. 20 Outdoor Showers & Saunas · Coastal
Weathered Shingle Outdoor Shower with Foot Wash
A weathered cedar shingle outdoor shower features a wooden enclosure, an exterior stone basin foot wash, copper fixtures, crushed shell paths, and blooming hydrangeas beside a grey timber deck.
Design notes
Coastal design lets the light do the work. Look for weathered cedar shingle and white trim, bleached or grey decking, cable or rope railings, and a palette of sand, driftwood and sea-glass. Planting is grasses, hydrangeas, beach roses and anything that tolerates salt and wind; furniture is teak or wicker with white cushions. Keep surfaces matte and colours pale, and the mood stays breezy even miles from the shore.
What to look for
- Where the water goes — drain, soakaway or the pool deck
- Privacy height and sightlines from next door's windows
- How many barefoot steps from the pool or the back door
