Shower curtains can give your bathroom a quick and easy
makeover!

Bathroom shower curtains offer an affordable way to instantly
freshen up a dull looking bathroom. As well as looking nice,
shower curtains have the practical function of preventing water
spraying out of the tub and soaking the surrounding bathroom
fixtures. Installing a curtain is very easy, using rings or
hooks to suspend it from a rod. Spring loaded rods can be held
in place between two walls without the need for drilling holes
in your tiles. This is particularly good if your shower curtain
is just a temporary solution until you fit a shower enclosure.

Shower curtains are made from several different sorts of
washable fabrics, including cotton, polyester and plastic. Most
are water resistant, but if not a waterproofed liner can easily
be attached. Some come with weighted hems to help hold them in
position. Although not as sturdy as glass shower enclosures,
curtains can be very effective with electric showers, though the
force of water spray from power showers may be too strong for a
fabric curtain to prevent leaks. In that case you may want to
look at folding or sliding shower doors to ensure your bathroom
cabinets and vanity unit don’t get soaked.

Fitting a shower curtain can instantly change the appearance of
your bathroom. Curtains for showers come a huge variety of
designs and colors, from polka dots and stripes to plaid,
Waverly toile or tropical Hawaiian prints. If you’ve got a
specific theme to your decor, you should be able to find a
design to fit in. Aquatic, nautical and beach themed curtains
are very popular. For kids, colorful prints of dolphins, frogs
and rubber ducks are a favorite. You could add a touch of
elegance or a splash of fun to your shower times with your
choice of curtain.

Bathtub and shower stall curtains are a cheap but effective way
to smarten up your bathroom and give it a vibrant new look.
