Custom Shower Ideas

Installing a new shower head is a quick, simple and affordable upgrade. Newer models offer a larger spray area and greater water pressure. They use less water to help you save on your water bill.

To install a new shower head is easy. All you have to do is unscrew the old one. It's either wall-mounted or screwed into the ceiling. Then, screw in the new model.

You have endless types and styles of shower heads to choose from.

• The most basic is a fixed shower head. They quickly and easily install onto your existing shower arm. These shower heads can offer adjustable spray direction to suit your needs. They can even adjust spray patterns to fit your mood.

There's a wide range of shower head types. From gentle rain showers to refreshing dual-head sprays, you can't go wrong.

• Dual shower heads combine a fixed and hand-held shower head. A dual shower head attaches to a standard shower arm and has two heads. The second head is mounted on a bracket and removable. You can operate them separately or at the same time. Run the fixed shower head for a quick shower. Or turn them both on for a more luxurious experience. If you need flexibility (like for a pet bath), use the hand shower only.
• You can choose a singular hand-held shower head. One of the benefits is that it makes cleaning the walls of your shower easy. The freedom of motion is also ideal for bathing children and pets.
• Rain shower heads can be up to 12 inches wide. They deliver a relaxing cascade of water from above. If you’re updating your shower, consider opting for this extra luxury. Most feature a swivel joint allowing you to adjust the spray where you want it.
• Shower heads with a magnetic dock make it easy to pull and release the head.
• If you want a more substantial shower upgrade, consider a shower kit. Shower kits come with multiple components. Kits have a new shower arm, shower head, hand shower, and a diverter valve. Some kits include a sliding bar allowing you to adjust the hand shower height. These enable you to direct the spray where you want it. If you have tired, aching shoulders or lower back pain, it's a great investment.

Tip: Apply plumber's tape to the shower arm thread before installing a new head. This creates a water-tight seal.

Shower towers combine valves, body sprays, handheld sprays and water jets. They create a complete multi-angle, high-performance shower.

• Adjust the angles on high and low sprays for a different shower experience.
• Many shower towers are pre-plumbed for easy installation.
• No full bathroom remodel required.
• Towers have design elements like metallic finishes and LED lights. This makes for a high-end, modern style that will refresh your overall bathroom look.

Shower jets offer personalized settings including pulsating spray patterns and pivoting heads. You can transform a regular shower into a rejuvenating retreat.

• Customize the heights and positions of the jets to provide a body massage.
• Adjustable panels provide maximum coverage.
• Different spray patterns provide just the pressure you want.
• Install as many jets as you desire for a true customized experience.
• Spray from above, below, front and back.
• Panels come in many finishes to match your existing decor.

Customize a shower with all the features of a luxurious day spa.

• Add electric controls to set water temperature and adjust water flow.
• In-shower sound, lighting and a steam generator add to the spa experience.

A custom shower can have any—or all—of the fixtures, features, and finishes you love.

The easiest way to give your bathroom a fresh look is with a new curtain. With so many style options, you can put your personality on display.

• A classic white shower curtain works in both modern and traditional rooms.
• But don't forget about the other numerous colors to choose from. You can find countless prints and patterns. Stripes, florals, cartoons, landscape scenery and more help create a unique space.

If you're hanging a new curtain, consider if it's time for a new curtain rod.

• Choose between a tension or a fixed design.

New shower tile can take your shower from ordinary to on-trend. It will give your bathroom a bright new upgrade that matches your personal style.

• For a seamless look, use the same tiles throughout the rest of the bathroom.

If you're upgrading your tile, a new glass shower door can pull the look together.

• There are a few different styles of shower doors available.
• Innovate with alcove shower doors or shower enclosures.
