This can not only affect your bathroom but your whole house. If you need to economize on something, do so on the tiles. Shower Curtain or Shower Door - Picking the wrong one It is a general recommendation to use shower curtains if you have your showers in your bathtub and to use shower doors if you have a separate shower cabin. Shower curtains in combination with a bathtub allow you to maintain flexibility and make full use of your bathtub, while a shower enclosure would restrict it. Shower doors on top of your shower tray provide you with an absolutely watertight environment and let you enjoy your showers without flooding the bathroom.

Choosing A Cheap Shower HeadNot only are cheap shower heads often of poor quality and will break quickly, they are also likely to be a perfect way to waste a vast amount of money in the long run and greatly reduce the comfort of a shower. Cheap shower heads often lack functionality and consume up to three times as much water as properly designed ones, while offering no more, and often even significantly less comfort for your shower. Be aware that an increased demand for water does not only let your water, but also your electricity bill skyrocket, since that is how water usually is being heated.
