Showerscape: Practical design inspired by everyday life

We can all agree that the shower is a vital part of any household. But if you think that choosing just any old shower faucet will do, think again! There are quite a few factors that should go into selecting the right shower head for your household needs.

The Kingston Brass Showerscape series has a wide variety of options to suit every need, desire, and taste, but before you do any shopping, here are some things to consider:

What is your design style?
Think about the overall look you want to achieve. Is your bathroom vintage? Traditional? Modern? When you have a good understanding of your bathroom’s aesthetic, you’ll be better equipped to decide what kind of shower faucet will work within the design.

Who’s going to be using this shower?
Is this an adult’s only bathroom or will kids also being using it? Or perhaps an elderly relative? Having a shower head on a sliding bar is a great way to accommodate different people’s needs.

Practical or Playful?
Maybe you need your faucet to be a bit more utilitarian and practical. Because, for instance, you have pets at home that need to be bathed in the shower. In that case, a hand shower would be an ideal option since it can be taken off the wall and turned around any angle. But perhaps you don’t have a need for a hand shower, and you’d prefer something more luxurious. An overhead rain shower head is a unique way to transform a normal space into something more fun.

What is your shower setup?
This is a really important factor to consider when choosing your shower faucet. What type of shower do you have? If your shower is freestanding, then you’ll only need to worry about choosing one shower faucet. But if you have a shower tub combo, go for a faucet combination perfectly designed for this setup. Or maybe you decided to gut the entire thing and went for a vintage, freestanding tub. In that case, a deck or wall mounted tub filler with a hand shower attachment would be a wonderful option.

What is your budget?
This may seem like an obvious thing to think about, but it’s definitely something you don’t want to forget. There’s nothing worse than falling in love with the perfect piece only to realize it’s too expensive. Save yourself the heartache, and figure out your budget before you start browsing!
