Brushed Nickel Shower Arms come in all different shapes, styles, finishes, and variations. The shower arm is usually one of two styles; it either blends in without noticing that it’s even there, or it stands out and makes a bold statement. Depending on your shower design and what your personal tastes are, you’ll want to weigh all the different options. In some cases the shower head just sticks out directly from the shower wall, but in other cases, the shower arm can be used as a great benefit and allows you to extend your shower head well into the center of your shower, or even have the brushed nickel shower arm suspended above you.

‘S’ Shaped Brushed Nickel Shower Arm
This Brushed Nickel Shower Arm is a variation on the wall extended shower arm and is primarily meant for decoration and doesn’t have any specific purpose. The suspended shower arm is meant to suspend your shower head from the ceiling directly above you and therefore has a very specific purpose, but the ‘S’ shaped shower arm is basically just a cool looking wall extending shower arm.
Suspended Brushed Nickel Shower Arm
The suspended brushed nickel shower arm is the perfect match for people who have renovated or bought a home with tall shower ceilings. What you see is what you get with this style shower arm. It is a very standard, functional shower arm that is simply meant to suspend your matching brushed nickel shower head directly over your body. This style shower arm is usually used in hand with the Rain Shower Head. These two options combined create a rain shower like experience, hence the name of the head.

Wall Extended Brushed Nickel Shower Arm
These are the most common kind of brushed nickel shower arms and have a very straight forward functionality. In most homes, a wall extended shower arm is the best looking option unless your entire bathroom and shower match the fancier options like the ‘S’ arm or the suspended shower arm. Even if your brushed nickel shower is outfitted with higher end fixtures, you can still use the standard wall extended shower arm option as there’s just so many different variations available.
If you have a rain shower head, then you would want a wall extended arm that doesn’t curve, and just sticks directly out of the wall (about 12 inches) so the angle of the shower head is directly above you. If you’ve decided to go with a brushed nickel shower head that’s designed for low flow or massaging, then you would want an extended arm that curves slightly downward so that it’s pointing at your body and adjustable as needed.
When it comes to your brushed nickel shower arm, there are lots of options; however, the bigger decision is choosing your shower head as there’s hundreds of more shower head options than there are shower arms. The type of shower head you decided on will eliminate many of the shower arm types and thus make your decision considerably more easy.
