Choosing any tapware takes careful consideration, but choosing shower tapware and a showerhead deserves even more attention. The shower isn’t only a place to wash down and clean up. It’s a place to relax and unwind. Therefore, you want to ensure your shower tapware allows for both of these things.
Shower tapware today is more abundant than ever before. There are so many types of tapware in so many styles and finishes that choosing just one is daunting. Selecting the right shower tapware or showerhead for your needs can easily be disregarded for something more trendy.
Selecting the right shower tapware is easy, providing you know what to consider in decision-making. If you consider the application, finish and style, you’ll have no trouble selecting the right tapware for your shower.
Shower Tapware Application
The first step in choosing shower tapware is settling on the type you need to help you wash, relax and unwind. If you look forward to having a shower and like to spend a long time in the shower, a shower set or a twin shower that offers both a shower and a hand held shower may be the best choice. A relaxing rain showerhead may be another option.
On the other hand, if you want to get in and out of the shower, a more conventional showerhead may be more practical.
Shower tapware comes in many types, including shower heads, rain showerheads, hand held showers, shower arms, shower sets, shower mixers, and shower rails. Knowing the difference between each and how you intend to use your shower will allow you to select the right shower tapware.
Shower Tapware Finish
Once you select the type of shower tapware, you can then concentrate on the finish and style, starting with the finish. The best way to choose a finish is to match it with existing tapware in the bathroom or throughout your home. If you’re renovating or building a new home, match it with the design of your bathroom style.
For example, a brushed gold, brushed nickel, or gun metal grey finish would be a suitable choice if you’re designing a modern or contemporary bathroom, as they’re very much on-trend. If your bathroom design style is Hamptons or coastal, consider something more subtle, such as matte black, chrome or brushed nickel shower tapware.
There is no right or wrong finish to choose; it comes down to personal taste. However, remember that some finishes will offer better durability than others.
Shower Tapware Styles
Like all tapware, shower tapware is available in many styles and ranges. Round and square tapware are the two leading style choices, which is why they’re in abundance. However, luxury tapware ranges like the Sky, Bianca, and Opal offer more contemporary styles, ideal for modern and contemporary bathroom designs.
