Constant technological advancements mean that all parts of our homes are getting smarter every day, and the bathroom is no exception. With incredible innovations such as voice-activated control systems, you can start your shower without lifting a finger (Alexa can do it for you). As for the other high-tech shower innovations currently on the market today? There are also apps which allow you set your preferred water temperature—and the intensity of the pressure, for that matter—so you can experience the perfect shower single every time, no adjustments necessary. And there's no reason to worry about your family members messing up your preferred settings: They can create their own.

Temperature and pressure aren't the only components you can control with your smart phone. The Kohler Konnect platform, for example, allows you to program lights, sounds, and other elements in your bath. Other epic advancements, such as shower heads that are equipped with Bluetooth speakers and LED lights, can also change the way we begin and end each day.

Today, there are so many ways to create your own spa experience right at home—without the spa package price tag (many clever designs bring more style and function to the shower for less). And there's no need to remodel to get the luxurious options you crave: Multi-functional shower heads and well-equipped hand showers deliver a superior experience, and they only take minutes to install. Since most models are available in a wide variety of finishes and styles, there are seemingly limitless options to create the chic, luxurious, and high-tech shower experience you've always wanted. Add one of the following products to your own bathroom, and you'll never look back.
