Shower Heads

There are many options when it comes to shower heads, which all comes down to personal preference.  Below is a list of types of shower heads we often see.  There may be shower heads that combine multiple features from the different types listed below, so keep in mind these are not entirely exclusive.  For example, we've seen shower heads that combine a rain-style shower together with a handheld shower head. 

• Single Spray Shower Head - the most basic type of shower head that has one spray pattern.  It is generally the most affordable, so we recommend this if you're on a tight budget. 
• Adjustable Shower Head - these have various spray patterns that can be selected, typically ranging from 2 to 12 types of patterns with varying water pressures. 
• Rain Shower Head - this shower head comes down directly from above the head (as opposed to coming from an angle in typical shower heads).  While aesthetically pleasing, there are limitations to these types of shower heads, including limited spray pattern options.  They're also generally lower pressure, so it doesn't provide the massage-like feel with higher pressured shower heads.  Installing piping into the ceiling is also more labor-intensive and will be more costly.   
• Handheld Shower Head - if being able to spray your body from any angle, this may be the optimal choice, as you're able to feel a higher pressure as you bring the nozzle closer to your skin.  It's also a great option if you have children or pets, as you can bring the nozzle closer to them, ultimately making it easier to bathe them.  These require a hose attachment, which may not be preferred from an aesthetic standpoint, but if you can look past this, we would highly recommend it! 
• Dual Shower Heads - this is a great option for those that like having a choice between 2 shower heads or even using both at the same time.  Many of these come in the form of a rain style plus a handheld shower head.  This is one of our favorite options as it provides multiple spray patterns, making it a very versatile shower head. 
• Shower Panels - probably the most complex of all, these generally have multiple spray nozzles at different locations along the panel. They're packed with many features, which make them a costly choice.  They take up a considerable amount of wall space, but they may also protrude overhead.  They also require more holes for the different nozzles, so more labor is required.
• High-Pressure Shower Heads - as the name suggest, these heads have a high-pressure water stream for those that prefer a massage-type feeling when showering.  The downside is that this may consume more water, which can drive your water bill up. 
• Eco-Performance Shower Heads - opposite to high-pressure shower heads, these shower heads focus on using less water and lower pressure to conserve for the environment. 

Faucets

Faucets are very subjective and the best option comes down to personal taste.  They usually come in sets and we generally recommend staying within the same set for the sinks, shower, and bath tub for a consistent theme if possible.  While this is not necessarily always the case, it is a general rule of thumb we like to follow.  In the end, we will always respect the customer's decision!

Sinks

There are multiple forms of sinks that can be considered when remodeling a bathroom.  From the various shapes and mounting styles, the choices can be overwhelming.  The different mounting options generally fall into the following categories:

• Drop-in Sinks
• Undermount Sinks
• Wall-mount Sinks
• Pedestal Sinks
• Vessel Sinks
• Vanity Tops

Mirrors

There are several types of mirrors that can be considered when remodeling a bathroom.  Any of these or combinations of these mirrors can be custom built or sourced from a local home goods retail store:

• Lighted Mirrors - As the name suggests, these mirrors have built-in lights on the mirrors, which can be especially useful during the application of makeup or just lighting up the bathroom in general.  In general, this may be a good option for bathrooms without windows.  Lighted mirrors have evolved significantly over the recent years, and have particularly become popular with the Instagram and TikTok generation - the lighting simulates natural, soft, even lighting and provides optimal conditions for filming content. 
• Framed Mirrors - A great way to enhance the look of your bathroom, framed mirrors are a popular option that adds to the decor and theme to your bathroom.  While custom built framed mirrors are certainly an option, these can often be found at home goods retail stores at very affordable prices! Make sure you measure out the space ahead of time before so that you know if it will fit in your bathroom. 
• Ledge Mirrors
• Venetian Mirrors
• Frameless Mirrors - This is a common option that is very useful and often time provides the most amount of mirror coverage.  The higher the mirror coverage, the larger the space will be perceived.  We've found that large frameless pieces typically require custom building, but if your space is small enough, there are certainly pre-built vanity frameless mirrors in home previous 
• Vanity Mirrors
• Captain's Mirrors
• Extension Mirrors
• Medicine Cabinet Mirrors - These mirrors are a great way to find additional storage space in the bathroom.  The hidden shelves that come with medicine cabinets can be very utilitarian.  Medicine cabinets are often seen as traditional styling, but nowadays there are many medicine cabinets that take on a modern styling.  Can be used for the vanity mirror or standalone side mirror, depending on the space of your bathroom. 
• Pivot Mirrors - These are wall-mounted mirrors that are mounted on a swivel type mechanism that can allow the mirror to change direction.  This allows the mirror to be viewed in multiple angles, with some even having a magnified surface on the opposite side,  Some of these can be smaller, mirrors on the side that are ideal for make up, while others are larger that serve as more of the mid-length vanity mirror that covers the entire area above the sink.
