Styles of Shower Curtains

Posted on by

Contemporary or modern Shower curtains- If you want a modern or chic style for your bathroom, contemporary shower curtains are just for you. When looking for contemporary shower curtains you will find many with lots of shapes and a lot of black. However try finding some with easy-to-match colors and you will find that pulling a bright and modern bathroom together is surprisingly simple.

Cool Shower Curtains- what’s cool about cool shower curtains is that they can have just about anything on them. Some neat ones I have come across have black and white pictures of well known places all over the world like the Brooklyn Bridge, the Eifel Tower in Paris, and the river ways in Venice, Italy. I have also seen some with designs ranging from the Periodic Table of the Elements, the Psycho shower scene, Smiley faces, to some rather basic curtains with simple designs that help bring some life into the bathroom.

Funky Shower Curtains- Peace signs, tie-dye, flowers, understated humor, and awesome music. If this is you say it out loud with a funky shower curtain! However a retro look isn’t the only way to add some funky style to your bathroom. An outspoken look can be achieved by adding a shower curtain with bold colors or designs on in.

Luxury Shower Curtains- What is more relaxing than taking a long hot bubble bath at the end of the day? Taking a long hot bubble bath in a luxury bathroom that’s what! A Luxury Shower Curtain can help turn your everyday bathroom to your luxurious retreat. Long, flowing, embroidered, definitive but not over stated. If you want elegance and class, a luxury shower curtain is the way to go.

A Rainbow Of Shower Curtains

I will mention throughout all my different posts that Shower Curtains come in all different colors and styles. Today, however, the most popular colors being selected for the bathroom are Purple, Black, and White. And why not? White is traditional and classy. Black is bold and edgy. And Purple is luxurious and regal. While these three are the most popular of colors there are still many out there to choose from. If you want your bathroom to reflect your personality than you should be able to explore and experiment with different colors until you find the one that fits you and your style best!

The use of colors can do more than just fit your personality though. Colors can be used to set a mood and create an atmosphere. For example, if you wanted to turn your bathroom into a tranquil escape, the use of light blues, whites, and even soft yellows are very good at helping you achieve that tranquil environment. Another example, you want to create a warm and comforting environment. The use of warmer colors such as browns, reds, yellows, and oranges will do just this. Colors are fun to play with and the best part is once you have decided on the colors you want to use… you can probably find the shower curtain to match it.

Shower Curtain Materials

Finding a Unique Shower Curtain involves more than just color and style. It also means selecting the right material. In this section I'll go over Fabric Shower Curtains and Vinyl Shower Curtains.

Vinyl Decorators this spot is for you! Ah, the beauty of vinyl… it’s strong, durable, and easy to clean what else do you want? Oh yea colors and styles… done!  On top of this, it’s affordable. However there has been concern about the use of vinyl shower curtains. Studies have shown that products containing polyvinyl chloride or PVC are capable of introducing an array of harmful toxins into the bathroom environment. This includes numerous volatile organic compounds, phthalates, lead, and others. While exposure to these harmful toxins are minimal and debates continue on how seriously this can affect the health of individuals many retailers and consumers have phased out or are phasing out the use of shower curtains that contain PVC. Now many PVC shower curtains have been replaced with shower curtains that contain non-toxic ethylene vinyl acetate or EVA. EVA is reported to also have a lesser effect on the environment as a whole.  So for those of you who like the convenience and style of a vinyl shower curtain no longer have to wonder if your shower curtain is going to make you sick or not and you are now free to be as creative as you wish!

On the other hand…

Fabric Shower Curtains are available in many different colors and styles. And while they are not "water-proof" they can be made to be "water-resistant." Most often fabric shower curtains are machine washable and after being washed should be immediately hung up to dry. A Fabric Shower Curtain should be left open to dry because if it is pushed to one side or left in a heap to dry then it becomes a breeding ground for mold and bacteria which in turns makes for a very unhealthy bathing environment.

As mentioned before Fabric Shower Curtains come in all kinds of colors and styles. This makes finding that perfect color scheme that much easier. Often they can be found with matching wastebaskets, towels, soap holders, toothbrush holders, soap dispensers, etc. Many fabric shower curtains are made from polyester so if you are an “anti-vinyl” decorator, fear not!

Fabric Shower Curtains are also very easy to come by. They can be found in most major retail stores. And the best part about fabric shower curtains if not the vast array of colors and styles, is the price. Fabric Shower Curtains can be found at affordable prices some even less than $25 dollars. So adding some life to the bathroom doesn’t have to be hard on your wallet… which is always a good thing to hear

Fabric Shower curtains are most commonly made from polyester but can also be made from materials like denim, cotton, nylon, and hemp. So if you’re looking for a shower curtain that’s a little bit more unique than the neighbors trying experimenting with different materials as well as colors and styles.If you happen to find a material you like but not in the style, make your own shower curtains as an easy do-it-yourself project.

Extra Long Shower Curtains

Posted on by

Extra Long Shower Curtains are a classy touch to claw-foot tubs that need to be completely enclosed and they also provide a neat way to reface your current shower by installing the curtain rod closer to the ceiling giving your shower a top to bottom look and feel. Extra long Shower Curtains are typically in excess length of 72” inches and can be found in materials such as polyester, cotton, and nylon. And just because you need or want the extra length, doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice on colors and styles. These shower curtains are available in just as many colors and styles as shorter curtains. Extra Long Shower Curtains can be found at major retailers and online and there are some places that do custom shower curtains! If you can’t find what you are looking for either have it made, or make it yourself. Shower curtains are a simple project and you can add as little or as much personal flair as you would like. And unlike some other costly home updates, installing a new extra long shower curtain in your bathroom is an affordable and simple way to add a unique look and style to your home. Also available if you need width instead of length are extra wide shower curtains.
