Many people prefer the shower to the bathtub. It takes less time to take a shower and it makes you more dynamic. It’s important for the water to have the perfect temperature and to be friendly with your body. It’s why rain shower heads are a very nice idea. The water falls at 90 degrees, just like the rain. It gives you a nice and pleasant feeling and it’s also relaxing.

Having a mirror is imperative for the bathroom. But the type of mirror you choose is a personal decision. However, we strongly encourage you to opt for a full-length mirror if you have the space.
