Nothing beats a good hot shower. And while most showerheads get the job done, few get it done in style. So if you're looking to ditch your boring old showerhead for something more exciting, consider these 10 alternatives.
1. The hydra-headed Vado Sculpture will clean you from multiple angles. Featuring five tentacle-mounted heads, the Sculpture isn't for the faint of heart or those prone to nightmares.
2. You might easily mistake the Rio Spectrum for an UFO that's come to beam you up from your bathtub. Featuring 96 colored LED lights and a programmable thermostat, this shower head will create a stream of water and light that'll give any Pink Floyd laser show a run for its money. Now if only this extraterrestrial faucet could beam you dry.
3. If your kids fight you at bath time, spring for the Froggy Hansgrohe showerhead. This bathroom buddy will ensure that kids stay clean with minimal fuss.
4. If Apple made showerheads, they would look like this. The Docciaqua from Moma Design features a stark white cube attached to a stainless steal arm, a perfect look for lovers of minimalist design.

A primer on installing a rain shower

A: They say it's all in a name, and when it comes to a "rain"-style showerhead, that's exactly true. Rain heads are exactly that — they're usually mounted on the ceiling of a shower stall pointing downward. And they're very wide, from 8 to 14 inches, so that they cover a larger area.
Finally, they rely on gravity to help the water flow, rather than to blast water pressure at the user. Put this all together, and you can have a nice warm rain shower in your shower stall.
I first saw them come on the scene years ago, but then they went away for a little while because of new water-regulation codes. Presently, the industry uses a 2.5-gallon-per-minute flow rate, and most new-style rain heads meet that code.
Now that new air-injection technology makes the water drops feel big and full, rain heads have come back strong, and are using less water.
A few other things to consider about rain-style showers:
• Make sure your shower and/or tub is large enough to handle the wider spray, and you have enough ceiling height to accommodate this type of showerhead.
