When it comes to raising the bar in your bathroom, most people have seen the rainfall showerhead, the built-in body jets or even built-in Bluetooth shower speakers for the ultimate surround-sound experience. However, there’s also much to be said about décor that makes your quotidian routines go more smoothly, prioritizing function as well as form. Here’s how.

Mark the temperature each person prefers on the wall, then set it and forget it. This kit from Hansgrohe includes a height-adjustable showerhead on a shower bar as well as an overhead showerhead to let you individualize your shower to your exact preference. $1,283. robinsonco.ca
