To make showering the absolute best your budget can offer, the best luxury shower heads can help you look forward to lathering up thanks to upgraded flow and massage functions and stylish design features (think: brushed brass and matte black finishes). Here are some things to consider when buying a shower head:
- Fixed or handheld: Check your current setup to verify whether it's compatible with fixed or handheld shower heads. Or, if you're starting from scratch, choose which you prefer: While fixed shower heads can be adjusted, handheld pieces allows for more flexibility. Can't decide? Go for a dual option, so you'll have the best of both worlds.
- Style and finish: Of course, you want to make sure a luxury shower head matches your style, so look for unique finishes that suit your aesthetic like polished brass, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, or classic chrome.
- Features: Are you looking for a system with multiple nozzles to mimic a spa experience? A wide range of spray and massage settings for a customizable shower every time? The feeling of rainfall cascading down your shoulders? Those are important things to look for while shopping. Just so you're covered, I've included all these options and more below.
