Unless you are living in a college apartment, ditch those ugly vinyl shower curtains for a more upscale look with fabric shower curtains. Bathrooms are typically the most difficult rooms in the home to provide with design, style, and interest due to their lack of components. Although you cannot do anything about that bland, boring bath tub, sink, or toilet, you can add spice and pizzazz using fabric shower curtains and other accents like towels, rugs, and accessories to make your bathroom one of your favorite spaces in your home.
Fabric shower curtains are available in literally thousands of colors, patterns, fabrics, and designs by some of the hottest fashion and interior designers on the market. However, you should be prepared to pay a premium for the latest fashions by the biggest name designers. The good thing about the interior design industry is, like the fashion industry, once a trend starts taking off, the market is flooded with more economical options. There is no need to completely detonate your budget by purchasing a shower curtain that costs hundreds of dollars. Consider visiting your local discount, department, and bedding and bath stores for a great selection of fabric shower curtains in all budgets.
In addition to fabric shower curtains for your home’s bathroom, you will certainly need a shower curtain liner. This is a concept that is often over looked by home owners, who wonder why their expensive shower curtain and flooring are soaking wet after a long, luxurious shower. Unless your fabric shower curtain has a special vinyl coating on its back that works as a built-in rain coat, be sure to invest in an inexpensive shower curtain liner. Furthermore, the dyes in some types of fabric shower curtains have a tendency to run, especially when hot water is added to the equation.
Fabric shower curtains are often part of a designer created set of bathroom materials that are both beautiful and functional. These sets often include bathroom accessories, such as soap dishes, lotion dispensers, toothbrush holders, tumblers, trash cans, and tissue holders, towels, bath mats, and bathroom rugs. These items work together in order to create a fantastic overall look for your bathroom that looks like you hired an expensive interior designer, but in fact, you did all the work yourself. Also, consider coordinating your shower curtain with any window treatments that are needed in the room, as manufacturers of fabric shower curtains generally produce fantastic window treatment options as well.
For a fantastically personalized look, create your own fabric shower curtains for your home’s baths. This is done by purchasing a plain fabric shower curtain and using paint, stamps, and other accents to create a personalized look for your bathroom. This task is great for kid’s bathrooms, as they can enjoy the fun project in addition to using their finished project. Another great way to create your own personalized shower curtain is to sew one from custom fabric. These custom made fabric shower curtains can be less expensive than the pre-made variety, allowing your budget more room to breathe. |
