SHOWER POWER: Even something as simple as a showerhead can add a decorative touch to the bathroom. Danze’s newest vintage-style bell shower-heads come in 8- and 10-inch widths—just the kind of size you need for a generous downpour of water. Both models are available in polished chrome and brushed nickel finishes. For more information, call Danze at 877-530-3344 or visit www.danze-online.com. VICTORIAN-STYLE VERSATILITY: Here’s a dynamite combination: Victorian styling and modern-day options. Alsons’ new 1504T arc-shaped wall bar system comes with a hand shower that adjusts up or down to adapt to people at different heights. The 30-inch wall bar is available in six different finishes. The hand shower includes an easy-turn spray dial and anti-clog nozzles for the removal of mineral deposits. For more information, call Alsons Corp. at 800-421-0001 or visit www.alsons.com. EUROPEAN ELEGANCE: Details matter in a bathroom, which is one argument for going a little upscale when it comes to faucets. The Guenivere widespread bath faucet from Mico Designs Ltd. has a delicately ribbed base and lever handles, which have been polished and hand-chased by artisans in Spain and Italy. It’s available in satin nickel [shown], polished nickel, polished brass, or polished chrome finishes. For more information, call Mico Designs at 888-301-8787 or visit www.micodesigns.com. ON THE HOOK: Towel bars are great, but anyone who has young children knows that hooks are more likely to get used by little ones in search of a place to hang robes, wet towels, or even the occasional bath toy. The Northport collection from Bath Unlimited’s Franklin Brass includes this double robe hook plus a number of other high-style fittings. The collection is available in polished chrome, satin nickel, and the popular Venetian bronze finish. For more information, call Bath Unlimited at 800-635-2731 or visit www.bathunlimited.com. TINY BUBBLES: Who wouldn’t want a tub that offered “continuous, wave, and pulse bubbling modes,” all at various speeds? Sounds like the ultimate in luxury. Lasco Bathware’s Champagne Bubblers are made of durable Lucite cast acrylic and come with 58 to 82 air portals and a 10-year warranty. For more information, call Lasco Bathware at 800-945-2726 or visit www.lascobathware.com.
