16 Stylish Shower Curtain Ideas
Design: Black Lacquer Design, Photo: Mary Costa
Anyone can wax poetic about the romance of a claw-foot tub, but rarely does anyone have anything that nice to say about a shower curtain. Memories of thin plastic sheets in communal dorms, locker rooms, and shared apartments have given shower curtains a bad rep over the years. To most, a shower curtain is a necessity—and never a delight.
We urge you to shrug off your preconceived notions and think of them as a chance to add texture and balance to your bathroom. Shower curtains are the centerpiece of small bathrooms, and they offer ample opportunity to instantly upgrade any bathroom.
Sure, you can't soak in it nor will you pay attention to it mid-shampoo. But, every time you or a guest walks in, it will be there waiting to make an impression. Invest a little time and thought and browse these 16 stylish shower curtain ideas to get you started.

Echo the color of your tile with a simple shower curtain that has just a border of detail. If you already have great color in your bathroom, this shower curtain will look more personal while still letting your other design choices take center stage. The vertical border also doesn't compete with the curved tiles.

The tight lines of detail on this shower curtain evoke formal parchment and leather-bound first editions. Adding a bit of darkness to the white curtain helps the room flow and guides the eye to travel from tile to curtain to tile.

A pink bathroom will never go out of style. Because it rests just above the tub and is a couple shades darker, the design on this shower curtain acts as a frame for the tile and the gorgeous copper spouts. Keeping it in the color family keeps it cohesive.

A textured white shower curtain feels at home in a bathroom that's already busy (in the best way) with wallpaper, colored tiles, and built-in shelving.
It adds just enough visual interest, and the cloth warms up the bright-white tile.

This curtain has us questioning if it's a ball gown or a shower curtain. It doesn't matter—we're amending our goals of owning a vintage claw-foot tub to owning a vintage claw-foot tub with a dramatic, floor-sweeping curtain like this one.

Don't want to fully commit to color? Opt for a dip-dye curtain. Bonus points if you take care to line it up to your valve.

Remember what we said about that thin plastic sheet? This textured white shower curtain is the solution. It's clean and simple, and the slight texture keeps it from looking shiny or stark next to all of the white tile.

A shower curtain with a large pattern or scene can be whimsical but still tasteful, especially if you choose natural designs in neutral color palettes, like these sparse trees or a palm toile in gray.

At first glance, this shower curtain looks more like couch upholstery than it does anything else, but the thick weave and pattern as well as the rich color beautifully contrast the room and geometric lines of the tile.

A waffle weave shower curtain reminds one of a plush, luxurious hotel robe, and it can add a bit of coziness to a small, windowless bathroom. Plus, it looks great with gold hooks.

ERIN WILLIAMSON DESIGN
Nothing can compete with a copper claw-foot tub. It's an unmovable, unstoppable force of design and luxury, and the rest of the bathroom just has to fall in step.
Heather gray curtains keep this vintage bathroom grounded in the present, and their shortened length makes so that they don't distract from the pièce de résistance.

TYLER KARU DESIGN + INTERIORS
Matching your towels with the same fabric and color of shower curtain is a pro-level move.
The weight and warmth contrast the cool blue tiles, helping to make them pop even more. The brownish rust color also unites the wood with the rest of the room.

ASHLEY MONTGOMERY DESIGN
The sheerness of this curtain prevents it from blocking the window, and it casts a soft, filtered light in this classic black and white bathroom. The horizontal pattern keeps it from being too sheer though, or otherwise, you'd be distracted by the outline of shower knobs and such.

DAZEY DEN
If you're painting your bathroom a bold color, you might want to avoid choosing a solid shower curtain. It can divide up the space and make it look blocky, which you especially want to avoid when you're blessed with such high ceilings. like this bathroom by Dazey Den.

DESIGN: MINDY GAYER, PHOTO: VANESSA LENTINE
This curtain's white top and bottom help make the ceiling feel taller than it actually is, as they perfectly line up with the tub-shower combo and almost blend in.
The proportions and the ultra-thin stripes keep it from being too loud next to the art and tiled floor, too.

You don't have to choose a plain shower curtain if your bathroom has dramatic tile. Pair a large-format pattern with a smaller, more delicate pattern, and you can have the best of both worlds.

It performs several tasks at once.
The main ones can be formulated as follows. nine0003
- Protection. The main task is to protect the floor, furniture, textiles, plumbing and other surfaces and objects in the room from water and soap.
- Zoning. This is especially important for large and combined bathrooms. The curtain allows you to separate the bathing area, making it more private.
- Decoration. A curtain or a screen can hide the flaws of the room, complement the overall style or become an accent, complete the interior, add coziness.
Today there really is plenty to choose from. But first you have to decide which bath curtains will be better in your case: soft, frameless, or rigid, framed.

These are well-known PVC or textile sheets. They have their own advantages.
- Simple, fast assembly. It is enough to fix the cornice and hang the canvas. No special knowledge or skills are required.
The whole procedure will take several minutes. nine0026
- Large selection. Whatever colors, patterns and patterns you like - in ordinary and online stores you can find a model that suits your interior.
- Price. There are products for every wallet: inexpensive, medium category and quite expensive.
- Easy to change if the curtain gets tired over time.
- Suitable for bathtubs of all sizes and shapes. For example, you can choose a corner bath screen if the plumbing is adjacent to the wall with only one end or has a rounded shape. nine0003

These are glass or plastic barriers. They are chosen by those for whom the following advantages are important.
- Fully sealed. Glass or plastic screen reliably protects against splashes.
- Long service life. Such screens can be used for many years, it is enough just to clean them regularly and monitor the health of the mechanisms. nine0026
- Space saving. This is especially true in small bathrooms. Glass or plastic fencing does not take up much space, does not visually hide the space and does not darken.
- Style. If you can make a mistake with the choice of color and texture of the textile model and spoil the interior, then the glass one will be appropriate almost always.
There are also disadvantages: more complicated installation, high price.

In stores, you can still find thin curtains that are inconvenient to use.
But there are others, better and more elegant, which fit perfectly into modern interiors. So, what are curtains made of today? Vinyl
Quite a large category of products. This includes common PVC, that is, polyvinyl chloride. It is thin PVC sheets that often stick. Therefore, it is better to choose denser options. nine0003
Social networks of design studio Lyubov Kopeikina
Let's list all options.
- PVC is plastic, thick oilcloth. Over time, a yellowish coating from soap and shower gels can form on it. In the machine, such fabrics are not washed. You can try to scrub the stains with a sponge.
- EVA, ethylene vinyl acetate, is another vinyl material, but unlike PVC, it does not contain chlorine and is considered more environmentally friendly. At the same time, it differs in density, strength, elasticity. nine0026
- PEVA or polyethylene vinyl acetate. It also does not contain chlorine and is considered environmentally friendly.
Slightly less dense than EVA. Both EVA and PEVA are also not recommended for machine washing.
All three versions are absolutely waterproof.

Polyester
100% synthetic material. Polyester threads are obtained from petroleum products. This fabric is considered one of the most durable and wear-resistant, which does not prevent it from being very light and drying quickly. It turns out an almost ideal set of characteristics for textiles in the wet zone.
Social networks of designer Maya Valit
nine0002 What are polyester bath screens? There are two options: from pure polyester and with the addition of natural fibers.Pure polyester curtains don't look like oilcloth. Due to the peculiarities of the fabric, they fall off in beautiful even folds and do not stick. Polyester is usually further treated with a water-repellent impregnation, and it becomes completely waterproof. Curtains made of this material can be washed, not only by hand, but also in a typewriter. The main thing is to follow the temperature recommendations. nine0003
Second option: mixed fabric. For example, polyester + linen or polyester + cotton. A ratio of 90 × 10 is usually maintained, where 90% are artificial fibers and 10% are natural. Such canvases look even more elegant and noble. To cope with the main task, splash protection, special impregnation allows them. Items can be machine washed. Perhaps their only drawback is their rather high price.

Choose cotton, linen or bamboo for sewing. The fabric must be treated with water-repellent impregnation and antibacterial to avoid the appearance of mold and fungus. Usually they resort to additional protection: on the inside they hang a thin white or transparent canvas made of vinyl or polyester, and on the outside - a decorative one made of natural fabric. In this case, the design is very similar to window decor: a combination of tulle and thick curtains. nine0003
Of course, this option is the most expensive. But it allows you to create interesting visual solutions. And it is often chosen by designers.

6 budget ways to transform your bathroom that you have not thought about yet
Hanging a curtain in the bathroom is a matter of minutes.
The only thing you need is a suitable cornice and fasteners. Social networks of designer Maya Valit
Bathroom cornices
Available in the following shapes:
- Straight. These are suitable for a standard straight bath, surrounded by walls on three sides.
- Arc-shaped. Used for corner and rounded bathtubs. nine0026
- Rectangular. Suitable if the bath is adjacent to only one wall and you need to protect the other three sides.
- L-shaped or angled. For bathtubs that are adjacent to two walls, and one end and one long side remain free.
- There are models in the form of an oval and a circle, which are attached not only to the walls, but also to the ceiling. They are used either for free-standing bowls or when they want to create a certain style in the room.

Curtain holders
Designer Natalya Savelieva's social networks
Let's single out several types. nine0003
- Hooks are the easiest option. And inexpensive. At the same time, it is very convenient to use. The curtain can be hung or replaced without removing the curtain rod.
- Eyelets - cutouts in the material, reinforced with metal plates. Curtains with such fastening are more expensive. They are not so easy to take off or put on: you have to dismantle the cornice.
- Rings. They are strung on a cornice, and the canvas itself is suspended from the rings with the help of loops. You can replace the curtain without removing the cornice. nine0026
- Hinges. This type of fastening is more likely to be found on a custom-made curtain. Looks even more decorative. But it can complicate the movement of the curtain. In addition, to replace it, the eaves will have to be removed.

If you are afraid of making a mistake, a plain white matte textile curtain will be a win-win choice in most cases. Or, alternatively, you can use a completely transparent, almost invisible canvas.
If you are ready for experiments, abstract prints and geometric patterns, floral ornaments are in trend. But large colorful images of the underwater world or tropical landscapes are unlikely to add style to the interior. nine0003

Rigid structures are more like screens.
But their main function is the same - splash protection. nine0003 Social networks of designer Maya Valit
Based on material
Fences are made of glass or plastic on a metal frame.
- Tempered glass is used, resistant to mechanical damage. Manufacturers also cover it with a special film so that in the event of a strong blow, it does not shatter into thousands of fragments, but only crack. Glass can be transparent or frosted. Such structures are completely sealed, durable. Outwardly combine simplicity and elegance. They are the ones that interior designers like to use in their projects. But glass bathroom curtains are the most expensive. nine0026
- Plastic models are much cheaper. They are also waterproof, durable and with proper care will last for years. However, they lose their attractive appearance faster, they can change color due to water and soap. Washing them is much more difficult, not all cleaning products are suitable.
By type of opening
Rigid models also differ in the opening mechanism.
- Stationary screens - fixed design. It is constantly in one place and covers only the shower area. nine0026
- Sliding - the doors open like a compartment. This model allows you to close the entire bath. This saves space.
- Swing. Not suitable for every room. In a small space, opening doors like this can be inconvenient.
- Folding (or "accordion"). Another option for narrow small bathrooms. When folded, it does not take up much space.

Textile curtains
All textile curtains are made of 100% polyester - a synthetic material. The exceptions are models with the addition of natural fabrics - cotton and linen.
Among the properties of polyester are wear resistance, elasticity, softness, hypoallergenicity, ease of care. nine0003
Polyester is not water repellent. All products from it are coated with polymer impregnation. Water-repellent impregnation consists of colloidal particles that are imprinted on the surface of the fabric by passing through a hot press. The impregnation itself consists of a fluorocarbon resin and a hydrocarbon substrate. It is applied on both sides and creates a water-impervious layer. But, it is important to remember: with each wash, this polymer layer is washed out.
Almost all fabric curtains have a weighted edging that is sewn into the bottom edge of the fabric.
This allows the curtain not to stick to the body, straighten itself and hang even tails. nine0003 Cord with lead weighting Used in Verran brand curtains Cord with rubber weighting Used in Wess brand curtains Cord with rubber weighting in the form of a tape Used in Moroshka brand curtains Also, curtains with sufficient density do not stick to the body. The density of our curtains: 85-100 g/m² for the VERRAN brand and 75-230 g/m² for the WESS and Moroshka brands. These are optimal characteristics so that the product does not cause inconvenience, is not too light or too heavy.
Caring for fabric curtains involves washing by hand or in a washing machine at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees. But you should not wash the curtain often, the water-repellent layer will wash out so quickly. We advise you to keep the curtains clean by wiping the fabric with soapy water - this way the water-repellent impregnation is not disturbed and the product retains its aesthetic appearance longer.
We do not recommend ironing (you can ruin the water-repellent impregnation). After washing, hang the curtain in the bathroom and thanks to the high humidity, steam and weighting cord, the curtain will straighten itself out after a while. Curtains can not be wrung out and dried in a washing machine, bleached when washing, dry-cleaned. nine0003 What are textile curtains?
The main advantage of fabric curtains is the variety of designs. This base allows you to get different textures and apply drawings in several ways.
Linen and cotton additives
The presence of cotton or linen in the composition makes the fabric more pleasant to the touch. And in appearance it is difficult to distinguish it from a completely natural fabric. Silk effectImitation of silk sheen on the fabric. Appears when using smooth and thin threads that are woven more tightly to each other. nine0002 Example of curtains with silk effect
JacquardA special weave allows you to create a plain or colored relief pattern in the fabric itself.
Jacquard curtains are always denser than those produced in the usual way.
Example of jacquard curtains
Organza insert It has both a design and a practical purpose. Such an insert creates an additional light window in the bath area, increasing its illumination. nine0002 Example of curtains with organza insert EmbossingThe pattern is applied using a cliché at high temperature. Used to create geometric, three-dimensional drawings. The effect of volume remains even after washing.
PrintingThe most common way to print on fabric. Subject to the recommendations for care, the print practically does not fade, the colors remain bright and juicy for a long time.
nine0002 Example of printed curtains Vinyl curtains
These curtains have a vinyl backing. Vinyl is a safe polymer material.
All vinyl products are 100% waterproof. They are resistant to the damaging effects of water and do not attract bacteria. The smooth structure of vinyl prevents the formation of mold and mildew.
Caring for vinyl products is simple - wipe the canvas with soapy water. If you do this regularly, there will be no traces of rust, precipitation, mold and fungi on the curtain. nine0003
What are vinyl curtains?
Vinyl curtains for the bathroom differ in composition. Depending on the additives, the properties and qualities of the canvases change. We have curtains from:
- EVA - ethylene vinyl acetate;
- PVC - polyvinyl chloride.
Tight to the touch. May have a matte or glossy texture. Lighter than PVC.PVCDifferent in transparency, elasticity and glossy sheen. Temperature resistance limit: 65°C. Does not emit harmful substances unless heated above 110°C. nine0002 Transparent and translucent curtains can only be among vinyl products. The ability of the canvas to transmit light makes the shower area lighter and more airy. Volumetric curtains, or as they are also called - with a 3D effect, are made of PVC. The pattern is applied to the canvas by laser engraving or embossing.
Select size
Common standards are dimensions (length and width):
- 180x180 cm; nine0026
- 180x200 cm;
- 200x200 cm.
Curtain example 180x180 cm
Curtain example 180x200 cm
Curtain example 200x200 cm
Non-standard models 200x220 cm, 200x240 cm can also be found.
The increased width is convenient for those who have a bath not against the wall and need to close several sides from splashes at the same time. nine0003 How to understand that the size is right?
We take a tape measure and go to the bathroom. You need to make the following measurements:
- wall-to-wall width if you have a bathtub;
- total length of the pallet if you have a shower room;
- height from eaves (if any) to bathtub or shower tray.
It is important that the curtain fabric completely covers the shower area. The curtain should be at least 20 cm larger in width and length of the shower area. nine0003
When choosing the size of the curtain, it is important to consider which cornice is installed, how high and whether it can be changed in height. If there is no cornice yet, then pay attention to those that are in our catalog.
Choose the type of fastening
Conventionally, according to the type of attachment to the eaves, curtains are of two types:
- with holes for rings;
- with built-in mount.
Curtains with rings
This model has holes along the upper edge of the canvas. Depending on the material, the holes are framed in metal rings - eyelets, sheathed with dense threads or strengthened by pressing and perforation. nine0007 Rings are included with some curtains. Other rings can be selected and purchased separately in a set of 12 pieces, which is equal to the number of holes in the curtain.
Eyelets Metal eyelets can be painted in different colors. It is good when they are combined in color with rings and / or cornice.Threading This type of threading makes the curtain even cozier. Curly rings look more advantageous on such models.
Pressing All vinyl blinds have a reinforced ring attachment point. Peva curtains have perforation added. nine0003
Example of curtains with rings included
Curtains with independent (built-in) fastening
In such models, the fastening system is sewn into the canvas.
