Why a Garden Shower is the Ultimate Eco-Friendly Luxury

July 03, 2025

Outdoor living is more popular than ever, and a garden shower is the perfect addition to elevate your space. But beyond its obvious style and convenience, did you know that an outdoor shower can actually be a sustainable, eco-friendly choice? Here’s why a copper or brass outdoor shower is the ultimate eco-luxury for your garden or pool area.

Reduce Water Waste

Outdoor showers make it easy to rinse off dirt, sunscreen, or pool chemicals before going indoors — which means fewer trips to the bathroom and less water wasted through running taps or baths. For example, the minimalist design of the Teviot Outdoor Copper Shower makes it a perfect cold rinse station by your pool or garden, helping you save water in style. By choosing a simple outdoor rinse, you use only as much water as you need, when you need it.

Promote Sustainable Gardening

Outdoor showers can be set up to drain into your garden, allowing water to nourish surrounding plants and lawns. This greywater reuse is a clever way to hydrate your landscape naturally (always check local regulations for greywater systems). Copper and brass are safe, non-toxic materials, so there’s no risk of harmful chemicals leaching into your soil.

Choose Lasting, Low-Waste Materials

Copper and brass are some of the most sustainable materials you can choose.

Our Allure Contemporary Brass Shower Set is handcrafted from pure brass, built to stand the test of time and avoid the waste of disposable plastic units.

They are incredibly durable and long-lasting, so you won’t need to replace your shower every few years, unlike cheaper plastic options. Plus, copper and brass can be fully recycled, meaning even decades from now they won’t become landfill waste.

Create a Healthy Outdoor Ritual

There’s something calming about rinsing off under the sky, surrounded by nature. A beautiful brass shower with a handheld feature, like our Aegir Brass Shower , lets you enjoy a gentle, mindful rinse whenever you need a moment of peace outdoors. An outdoor shower encourages you to connect with the outdoors, breathe fresh air, and spend more time in your green space — a mindful routine that supports well-being while reducing the energy and resources of frequent indoor showering.

Add Timeless Style with Natural Materials

Eco-friendly can also mean elegant. The natural patina of a copper shower, for instance the Verdigo or the Atlantica, grows more beautiful with time, making your eco-conscious space feel both harmonious and sophisticated. Copper and brass showers develop a natural patina over time, blending beautifully into your garden’s aesthetic. They avoid the harsh industrial feel of many modern materials, creating a more organic, relaxing environment that feels both luxurious and harmonious with nature.
