Showering is often a rushed routine for many homeowners preparing for the day. However, with more customizable options available today, showers can be as rejuvenating as taking a hot bath after a long week. Today’s country house plans are being customized with elegant shower fixtures that contribute to the relaxing, rural lifestyle homeowners crave. From unique surrounds, doors and showerheads, you will find the perfect fixtures that fit your personal style and needs.

Surrounds
It is extraordinarily important for shower surrounds to be waterproof and durable to avoid expensive damages in the future. Prefabricated (acrylic), solid surface, and fiberglass are all materials commonly used for shower surrounds. As showers are becoming more intricate and a fundamental part of décor, customized tile is being incorporated into surround designs as well.

Doors
Today’s stand-alone showers have made the shower curtain fairly obsolete. Doors ranging in styles from sliding to swinging are making the most of the bathroom space available.  Country living house plans are often flooded with stylish fixtures and simple designs. Homeowners are adding amenities to their home plan with doorless showers that add a modern design to their home’s master bath. If enough space is available, this shower encompasses an entire area, large enough that a door need not keep water from the rest of the room. Have bathroom measurements available when seeking professional input on the best shower styles.

Showerheads
Showerheads are certainly what separate the various shower styles most. Once a stationary fixture on the wall, today’s showerheads vary from fixed with multiple pressure options, handheld (also with various pressure options), and even full body showerheads that act similar to a car wash! In larger master baths, some showers are constructed in the center of the room, with his and her doors and separate showerheads.

Growing quickly in popularity is the waterfall showerhead. Fixed from above, the waterfall showerhead “rains” in the center of the shower, creating a gentle, and certainly unique, showering experience. Some waterfall showers have multiple showerheads that expand the relaxing rain illusion.

Special Features
Beyond the customized hardware of today’s dream showers, there are numerous extras available as well:
• Smart homes can turn showers on automatically so as to be ready when the homeowner rolls out of bed.
• Preferred temperatures can be programmed so water will automatically adjust at the touch of a button.
• Natural light can be added to showers, increasing the overall waterfall effect and adding to the relaxing atmosphere the homeowner strives for.
• Steam rooms and steam units are being included to maximize the spa atmosphere in opulent master baths.

Choosing a shower unit can often be overwhelming with all of the options available today. Depending upon the function and features you desire, the process can be easy with advice from professionals. Asking questions on the quality and cost of upgrades will save you time and money. Also asking other homeowners for recommendations about their dislikes and concerns with their own systems will help in the decision process. Whether you desire a simple handheld showerhead or a luxury shower with multiple showerheads and numerous features, you will find the best shower unit for your country house plan after browsing all of your options.
