When it comes to remodeling a bathroom, one of the things people overlook the most is the importance of a good shower faucet. Showers don’t just provide a way for us to get clean, but they’re relaxing, soothing, and allow us to clear our heads after a stressful day. Having the right shower faucet could mean the difference between washing up, and feeling like you’ve just been to the spa. Here, then, are some of the best shower faucets to consider when remodeling your bathroom.

Shower Handsets: These are the kind that are connected by a flexible hose for portability. They can be mounted like a fixed showerhead, but where’s the fun in that? Most come with different settings, which can do wonders for sore muscles after a long day at work. Stylish, too, shower handsets are a good addition to any bathroom.

Ceiling-Mounted Faucets: One of my favorite things to do as a kid was to stand out in the rain and let the drops wash over me. With a ceiling-mounted shower faucet you can bring back the joys of a rain shower and let the water wash away the day at a low, medium, or high pressure, massaging your shoulders and back at the same time.

Shower Panels: The ultimate bathroom luxury. Shower panels feature multiple jet nozzles that shower your body with multiple sprays. You can install a single wall panel or multiple small jet-panels along your shower walls and ceiling. It’s like a car wash for your body, and nothing feels better.

Adjustable Showerheads: These often feature multiple settings such as high-pressure and pulsating massage, and you can adjust the water flow and spray pattern to suit your needs. They may be fixed, but the options they offer will make you feel like royalty while getting clean.

Fixed Showerheads: These are the traditional shower faucets that you’ll find in most homes. They are easily connected to plumbing without any additional hardware, which is why they’ve always been a favorite. Not much in the way of choice, but you can find them stylish enough to suit your remodeling needs.

We love our showers, and choosing the right shower faucet during remodeling isn’t as easy as it seems. Weigh your options, and if it fits into your budget, you might think about trying something other than the traditional showerhead. As you can see, there are many choices available to you, and when it comes to unwinding after a long day at work, a good shower with the right faucet can go a long way toward improving your mood and comfort.
