What Is An In-Shower Foot Rest?
An in-shower foot rest, sometimes called a shaving pedestal, offers a place for someone to rest their foot in an elevated position, often to make shaving legs or washing in the shower easier.
It can be a permanently installed option or a freestanding piece of furniture, depending on the specific shower and needs of the user.
In-Shower Foot Rest Benefits:
Each person has their own reason why they want an in-shower foot rest, but below are a few of the most common reasons why our clients say they want to add one to their space:
An elevated foot position makes it easier to reach when shaving, washing or drying off.
Added comfort when showering.
Installed options can be customized to whatever height will be most comfortable for the user.
Style Options For In-Shower Foot Rest:
Permanently Installed In-Shower Foot Rest
If you’re planning to remodel your shower or are currently remodeling, then adding a permanent in-shower foot rest can be a great plan.
Depending on the space available and your personal preference there are both pre-made corner or pre-made niche options that can be installed when tile is installed or formed recessed niche options that need to be tiled to blend seamlessly into your shower.
One of the major benefits of choosing a permanently installed in-shower foot rest is that it will be the most secure option since you know, if installed and used correctly, it should not shift or move during use. Another plus side is that it can be installed at any height you prefer, to make it personalized to your needs.
Furniture In-Shower Foot Rest
When you’re looking for a less permanent option for a shaving pedestal or in-shower foot rest, then these movable furniture options are a great place to look!
Whether you choose a corner foot rest to save space in a small shower, or an angled wood or plastic option with storage, you’ll be able to enjoy all the benefits without any of the commitment that comes with a permanently installed option.
Wall Mounted In-Shower Foot Rest
When looking for a securely mounted option without having to remodel your shower, then wall mounted in-shower foot rests are a great option!
Wall mounted shaving pedestals can vary in installation, some being attached using adhesives while others are screwed into the shower wall. This is an important thing to consider and what you choose will depend on the level of security and durability you desire.
The benefit of these wall mounted in-shower foot rests is that, similar to the permanent options above, you can select the ideal height for your particular needs.
