With the right fixtures and finishings, you can make a bathroom, no matter how small, into your own spa-like sanctuary.
Adding compact storage solutions like bathrooms and hooks, changing bath mats and having the right lighting installed can make a huge difference and cost relatively little compared to ripping it out and starting from scratch.
If you’re a shower person (and even if you’re not, it’s really the only bathing option on busy weekday mornings), arguably the most important thing to get right is the shower head.

We’ve rounded up the best options for all budgets. Whether you want to splash out on hotel-like rainfall designs or find options that your local fire brigade could keep on reserve, here are the best shower heads to buy now and transform your bathroom into a spa-worthy heaven.
