Creating a Spa-Like Retreat with Shower Heads

Start every day with a spa-like experience by updating your showerhead. The ideal showerhead combines luxurious style with the right flow rate, settings, and water pressure. Keep it classic and simple with a single-function showerhead, or opt for something more indulgent with a multi-function design featuring numerous showerheads.

Shower Head Types

Showerheads fall under three main types: single-function, multi-function, and rain shower heads. Each one offers distinct features and benefits.

Rain Shower Heads: Enjoy the feeling of water raining down over you by installing a rain shower head in the ceiling. This style of showerhead typically boasts an oversized design to create a wide stream of water. They can be used alone or in tandem with a single or multi-function showerhead.

Multi-Function Showerheads: Maximize your shower experience with multi-function showerheads. These systems combine an overhead shower head with additional features such as handheld sprayers, rain heads, body jets, and numerous water stream settings.

Single-Function Showerheads: Single-function showerheads are the definition of simple elegance. These cost-effective and reliable units are a popular choice for guest bathrooms and compact spaces.

Select a Stylish Finish

Showerheads are one of the few opportunities to bring a clear style to the design of your shower. Consider the overall direction of the design and select a style and finish that enhances the look. Keep things rustic and industrial with black, brass, and bronze shower heads, or opt for opulence by introducing chrome, nickel, and gold to the design of the space. Some of the most common finish options include:

Nickel
Stainless Steel
Chrome
Bronze
Brass
Black

For a cohesive look, keep the same finish running throughout all the fixtures in the bathroom. Most designs come in multiple finishes, making it easy to find the perfect pairing for the existing items in your bathroom. Many of the finishes come in polished, brushed, and satin options for variations on the same color.

Additional Considerations for Selecting Your Shower Head

Discovering the ideal showerhead for your space is easier when you narrow the search based on additional considerations such as flow rate, water settings, and the number of showerheads.

Flow Rate (GPM): Most showerheads fall into one of three Gallons Per Minute, or GPM, categories: 1 to 2 GPM, 2 to 3 GPM, and CA Drought Compliant. The amount of water output effects both environmental impact and the monthly water bill.

Settings: Showerheads can offer anywhere from one to nine different water spray settings, ranging from gentle streams to massaging variations. Check out the available water settings on the showerhead to ensure it offers your preferred water settings.

Number of Shower Heads: Consider what your dream shower looks like and choose a system based on the number of showerheads you want. A single showerhead is an excellent choice for compact shower stalls, while multi-head units create a luxurious experience for walk-in showers.
