The Joy of Drenching Rain Showers
Forget pathetic little dribbles or mean, high-pressure jets, these beautiful showers simulate the rain for a wonderful washing experience
The only time that being caught in a rain shower is a good thing is when it’s the kind of shower you install in your bathroom, with a head big enough to drench you in piping hot water, like a warm and invigorating monsoon. Now, that’s the kind of shower we can all get excited about. The luxuriously soft, soaking effect of a rain-style shower head is hard to beat, and these amazing bathrooms and shower spaces combine a beautiful deluge with gorgeous décor and, often, fantastic views, too.
Seek out a solid square
When is a traditional circular shower head not a traditional circular shower head? When it’s a state-of-the-art square, releasing a torrent of water from above for a seriously substantial shower.

Combine with natural materials
The simple, generous rain shower heads in this pool room are mounted into a wall finished with tadelakt, a traditional Moroccan plaster, for an organic, tactile look.

Dream big
A large, walk-in shower demands a massive shower head, too. This gorgeous design is set into a wooden ceiling for an authentically spa-like feel, and sends water down in concentric oblongs.

Install some super discs
Look at the size of those shower heads! They deliver a veritable monsoon-like experience, plus there is room for two to get drenched at once.

See double
Traditional in style, the shower heads in this bathroom are nevertheless a very contemporary size – large and generous. Installing two creates a dedicated showering world at one end of this huge bathroom.

Choose green and black
What’s not to like about this shower room? It’s dark and moody and intimate inside, with tiles on walls, floor and ceiling and a big rain shower right by the window. Then there’s the view, which offsets all this dark, brooding style. The window neatly frames all the lush, abundant green outside, making it look almost like an artwork. Perfect for a monsoon experience.

Look up
Here, a discreet but still generous shower head provides a great drenching without distracting from this room’s wonderful architecture. You can gaze at the sky and trees above as you shower, and there’s a sauna just next door, too.

Sightsee while you shower
A classic shower with a big rain head but, oh my, check out those views over New York City. Imagine showering in here while it’s raining outside. Or just showering in here, ever.

Go for gold
Sure, it’s a bit bling, but how can anyone resist the gold shower head in this bathroom? Love the matching door knob, hinges and toilet flush, too.

Shower heads are traditionally circular, but contemporary designs take that shape and expand it to the max. The result is a huge column of water pouring onto your head. Quite a way to wake up in the morning…
