One of the quickest, most inexpensive ways to update your bathroom is to change the shower curtain. With so many designs out there to choose from, you can give your bathroom a whole new look in mere minutes. Here are a few I like:

These showerheads are more modern glam light fixture than utilitarian bath hardware.
Jalco Lumiere series showerhead with built-in LED lights Tondo cube in stripes (left) and Quadro cylinder in damask. Price: $4,200 US each. Available at: Amati. Taps Bath Centre.
Ever wonder what those water-saving showerheads feel like? I did, so I decided to put one to the test and tried out the Moen 6306.
It looks just like any other showerhead, but is touted as saving 30% water over regular models, and press materials say that its designed to concentrate water flow to provide a “satisfying shower experience.”
How was it? Well, to be honest, the water pressure doesn`t feel quite as strong, but the difference was really hardly noticeable enough to make me switch back to my regular model. After all, I am saving 30% more water (and the energy I would have used to heat that water) and come bill day, that would be a HUGE savings in any household.
My showerhead is polished chrome, just like the one in the picture above; other finish options include brushed nickel and oil-rubbed bronze.
Available at: hardware stores via special order; check www.moen.ca for availability
Price: $43.55 (chrome 6306); $67.49 (brushed nickel 6306BN or oil-rubbed bronze 6306ORB)
