The shower curtain is often the most overlooked element in an otherwise well-appointed bathroom – the last thing chosen, and usually the least inspired. Which is strange, given the sheer amount of visual real estate it occupies. Done right, it can anchor the entire space. Done wrong, it undoes all the good work around it.
Neutral white curtains have long reigned as one of the most popular shower curtain ideas – understandable, as you once wanted your shower curtain to be unnoticeable, blending into the background rather than becoming a feature of the room. However, bathroom trends have us moving away from all-white spaces to embrace bathrooms that are just as personality-driven as the rest of the home – which means shower curtains can now be used much like wallpaper, adding pattern and color.
