Tapi or the portable water fountain

If you have children then you know that going out for a walk can be a real adventure and you can be forced to find solutions for the most unusual and unexpected problems. And the smaller they are the bigger the trouble. For example they are always thirsty and if they forgot their water bottle at home or simply finished it they will start screaming for some water. But what to do when there is no shop around and the only source of water is an old nasty looking public tap and there are no cups anywhere near you? This can be a serious problem, as kids don’t know how to sip water from your cupped hands. Well, fortunately, some smart guys from Dreamfarm have thought of this situation and invented Tapi.
Tapi is an original rubber device that can be easily attached to any tap and can be removed after using. It can be used as such or , if you squeeze its end, it will look like a water fountain and your kid will be able to drink that water that springs out of it on the side of the tap.
It is small and easy to use and it’s cheap, too – only $5.95 if you order online. It does not change the water taste and can be washed in the dish washer without a problem.It is available in different colours and it’s fun, too.

Unusual bathroom faucet with ball ripples

If you are sick and tired of your plain bathroom faucet and you want something modern and futuristic then you came to the right place. I will make you a suggestion that you can’t refuse – to quote from a famous movie. Here is the Water ball ripples bathroom faucet that can be called anything but ordinary and usual. It is a very nice-looking and interesting, but at the same time unusual bathroom faucet that has some ripples , a metal ball, but no tap. It was designed by Smith Newnam, a very talented designer and presented by Yanko Design and I must tell you that these guys have shown some incredible ideas over the time.
The idea is brilliant , but easy to understand: the ripples have a magnet inside that keep the metal ball on and when the ball is in the centre the water is off. You can easily control the ball and this way control the water flow and temperature. If you want to have a bigger flow just take the ball a few ripples to the outer part of the circle.
Then you also have the possibility to change the water temperature by simply moving the ball to the right for hot water and to the left for cold water. Furthermore, the ripple support spreads a blue light when the water is cold and a red light when the water is hot. Simply amazing. I am curious though if you can find it for sale and also what is its price.

Bathrooms require the modern and streamlined looks these days. The Soft Touch Water Control by Kaesch replaces your bathroom faucets! and your traditional bathroom becomes an ultra-modern one. These are the bathroom fixtures and faucets rendering at the tips of your fingers.
This reduces the scalding risk and gives the bathroom a futuristic look. Use The Soft Touch Water Control by Kaesch replaces your bathroom faucets! and give water a soft touch control technology. If you want to use it for the tap in your bathroom sink , you will have four round buttons on the wall, on the side of the sink – just perfectly placed to touch them with your fingers: +, -, hot and cold. Of course + means you want more water, – that you want less, cold and hot – obviously show the temperature you want for the water.
The last two buttons are conveniently coloured in red and blue on the margin and the other two in yellow. The line gets more or less coloured depending on the amount of water you want or the temperature you want it to be. For the shower it’s pretty much the same, with some extra buttons like : light, rain, hand and on/off. Pretty cool, right?

Oceania bath collection by THG

The legend says that starfish are actually stars fallen from heaven and now trapped within the waves of the sea. Well, starting from this beautiful idea the designers from THG Paris used Murano glass to obtain incredible translucent effects for the knobs in the bath collection called “Oceania”. The name of the collection gives us a hint about the source of inspiration for the designers: the ocean and the life forms inside it, the starfish in particular. The objects in the collection include a wall shower and lav set, a lav set, a tub set and handle, all in the same shape of starfish that seem carved in an surreal translucent material.
The delicate handles have tiny indentations as they try to respect as accurately as possible the natural shape and aspect of a starfish and the result is amazing. If you associate this nice collection with a blue flooring , walls or even tub, you will have the perfect atmosphere for an ocean inspired corner in your own home.
The Murano glass is the main material used for this collection and it reminds you a bit of the opulence and luxury in the seventeenth and eighteenth  century palaces. That is why I think this collection fits best in big luxurious houses, with Renaissance style bathrooms.

Dolphin bathroom faucet from Aquadis

Most people have normal faucets in their bathrooms because they think more of the practical utility of the object and less of the design. So if it is simple and works perfectly then it serves its purpose entirely and is perfect just the way it is. However, there are some other people who think that having regular normal things, even if we are talking about bathroom faucets, is simply too boring and they prefer having different looking possessions. They will definitely think of purchasing a dolphin bathroom faucet instead of a simple plain faucet. And I totally agree.

Look at these pictures and you will see that these bathroom faucets that are shaped like dolphins are really cute and original. They are perfect to e used for supplying water, as dolphins live in the water and are easily associated with water. The nice curved shape of the dolphins body is anything but monotonous and it suggests grace and skill.
These bathroom faucets have different models of handles you can choose from and are made of polished and shiny brushed nickel or chrome and can be ordered directly online.
