4 Ways to Use a Rain Shower Head in Your Bathroom

Stylish, luxurious and water efficient, the rain shower trend is making a splash in bath design.

Designed to emulate the sense of relaxation and freshness that a natural rainstorm can bring, a rising trend in shower design is the wide overhead rain shower head that distributes water straight down. It’s stylish, luxurious and also more water-efficient than traditional showerheads. Plus, it’s versatile—you can get an inexpensive model that easily attaches to your existing plumbing, or include it as one element in a complete bathroom renovation. To give you some inspiration, here are four rain shower heads we love the look of in Hawaii homes.
