Indigo showers: rain, rail and hand held options in chrome and matte black
Indigo is a Sydney-based design studio established in 2021, and this collection brings together its shower range for anyone renovating a bathroom on a practical budget without wanting to compromise on style. The range covers rain showers, rail showers, double shower heads, hand held showers and shower arms, giving most bathroom layouts a suitable option, and everything is available in chrome or matte black.
Choosing between shower types
A rain shower delivers a wide, overhead flow and suits bathrooms where a fixed, spa-like shower experience is the priority. A rail shower mounts the shower head on an adjustable rail, letting you move the height up or down to suit different users in the household, which makes it a practical choice for family bathrooms. A double shower head setup combines a fixed overhead shower with a hand held unit, giving you the option of either depending on the moment. A hand held shower on its own offers the most flexibility for rinsing and cleaning the shower recess, and is often paired with a rail or fixed bracket. The shower arm is the fitting that connects the shower head to the wall or ceiling outlet, and needs to match the reach and drop required by your bathroom layout.
Finish and matching other fittings
Indigo showers come in chrome and matte black. Chrome is the more traditional choice and tends to be easier to match with a wide range of existing tapware and sanitaryware, since it is the most common finish on the market. Matte black gives a bathroom a more contemporary, contrasted look, and works well against light-coloured tiles and white sanitaryware, though it is worth confirming that any other exposed metal fittings in the room, such as tapware or towel rails, are also available in matte black if you want a fully coordinated finish.
Installation and compatibility
Before ordering, confirm the outlet position in your bathroom, whether the shower connection comes from the wall or the ceiling, since this affects which arm and shower head combination will fit. Water pressure in your home can also affect how a rain shower or double shower head performs, so if you have low mains pressure it is worth checking the flow requirements of the specific model. As with any shower hardware, installation should be carried out or checked by a licensed plumber to confirm it is compatible with your existing plumbing and complies with local regulations.
Why Indigo
As a design studio built from 2021 and based in Sydney, Indigo has positioned itself around accessible pricing without cutting back on style, making it a reasonable starting point for anyone wanting a well-designed shower without a premium price tag attached purely to the brand name.
