If you’ve ever experienced a luxurious five-star hotel or visited a deluxe day spa, you’re likely to have encountered an invigorating rainfall shower. Heavenly, right? But if you think this experience is confined to extravagant surroundings and unachievable in your own home, then you’d be mistaken. Choosing the right shower design for you can help you give you a little luxury to wake up to each morning.

Quiz yourself on these four bathroom design questions and tips from the bathroom experts at Grohe and you’ll discover what type of shower suits your lifestyle.

How Do I Shower?

Do you enjoy nothing better than escaping under a powerful shower that can offer a relaxing massage and wash off shampoo at the same time? Or maybe a hand-held shower offers you more control if you don’t want the faff with hair washing? Then there’s the matter of volume, do you prefer a full flow or a gentle mist? Perhaps concern for the water you use has an impact on your shower preferences? Choosing a design that allows you to tailor your showering experience will help you match it to the type of showerer you are.

With the Euphoria SmartControl shower, for example, you can adjust the volume effortlessly, while also selecting your preferred spray and switching between the head or hand shower at a touch of a button. Need to grab a shampoo bottle? Pause the water if you wish, and then store your shower preference for next time saving you time and effort, particularly when there’s a queue outside the door.

Temperature control is in your hands. With the innovative technology behind this design, a separate thermostat, your desired temperature is reached in a fraction of a second and remains constant, so there’s no surprises. What’s more, the exposed design makes the controls easy to install into existing spaces without the need for new drill holes – perfect if you’re simply looking for a quick bathroom upgrade and not a major overhaul.

What’s Your Bathroom Layout?

Start your journey of shower design discovery by identifying the best bathroom layout for your home and lifestyle. If your bathroom is tight on space then an over-the-bath shower is likely to be the best solution, while even smaller en suites will benefit from an entire wet room layout that involves no tub or shower tray. In these tight squeezes, choose a shower with slim controls that fits close to the wall and takes up less of the showering space. Then there’s spacious bathrooms that can accommodate a sink-into bath as well as an elegant walk-in shower, offering great bathing options for busy households.

What Shower Head Do You Prefer?

From full face spray to a relaxing jet massage, showering under a fixed over head rain shower will certainly refresh you each morning, or finish the day with a relaxing drench. What’s more, if you choose a generous shower head that’s mounted on an arm with a swivel action, you can angle it to the optimum position.

Or, you might be more about the adjustable hand-held shower heads that sits in a cradle and can be moved up a sliding rail for the best spot. This offers great flexibility when it comes to showering kiddies or rinsing down a tub or tray.

Pick a shower system that offers all these options. Are you swamped with the choice of shower heads? Don’t fret. Choose a flexible shower design that combines both a fixed shower and hand-held option, but that also enables you to adjust the height and angle of the shower, as let’s face it, no two days are the same!

What’s My Style?

Achieving your dream bathroom space is as much about creating the right feel as it is choosing the perfect fixtures. For those who have time to linger in the shower, then why not create a spa-style sanctuary featuring organic textures such as wood and stone, and soothing neutral tones to calm your mood. While a contemporary bathroom offering slick, easy-to-use fittings will suit those wanting quick morning convenience.

If you have a teeny tiny en suite that’s ideal for a post-gym wash down but not all that great for hanging out in, then look out for fixtures that double as storage space too, such as the compact thermostat (pictured), that has a smooth top for keeping toiletries close to hand.
