Need an Easy Bathroom Update? Swap Out Your Shower Curtain.

Give your bathroom a romantic flair with one of these floral shower curtains. Choose one with a colored background and a bold print to dress up even the most basic bathroom. This is where it’s great if you have a blank neutral slate to work with. You’ll be able to change out the shower curtain without having to coordinate with paint or art to get an entirely new look. 

Take the size of your bathroom into consideration when choosing a patterned shower curtain. You may think your small bathroom needs a small pattern, but it will make it look even smaller. Go for a large-scale pattern instead. The negative space between the flowers will give the illusion of a larger bathroom.

Play up your bohemian bathroom décor with a shower curtain that feels like it came from an artisan market in a far-off land. This one has a pattern reminiscent of classic woodblock printing used all over the world, but you don’t have to book a flight to get it. 

Bathrooms get humid, so look for a shower curtain that is mildew resistant. If you want to show off your free-standing clawfoot tub, consider doing two shower curtains and leaving them open on either side of the tub. When it’s time to shower, just pull them closed and do your thing.

A bathroom with glam gold fixtures and modern accents needs a shower curtain that will play into that elevated style. Consider a textured canvas or cotton shower curtain with classic details like pleats to bring in an element of sophistication.

When you have a fabric shower curtain it’s especially important to make sure you also have a shower curtain liner. Liners typically come in either PEVA (a form of vinyl plastic) or polyester. Either liner will keep moisture and bacteria off your shower curtain and allow water to run back into your shower and not on the floor. Finish off the look with a gold shower curtain rod and matching hooks to complement your fixtures.

Lean into your maximalist tendencies with a bold graphic pattern. A dramatic shower curtain like this one with both a large pattern and a small repeating pattern will ensure your bathroom gets the attention it deserves. If the rest of your house is neutral but you’re interested in incorporating some pattern, start with your bathroom shower curtain. It’s an easy low-commitment upgrade that’s as simple as attaching the shower curtain hooks.

You can’t go wrong with a simple striped shower curtain. Look for one in a waffle weave fabric to bring in a bit of texture. If you’re not sure what color shower curtain to go with, try incorporating the color of your bath towels and bath mats for a cohesive look. If you really want to make things easy, grab a shower curtain set that includes the shower curtain, liner, and hooks.
