Bath Shower Curtains - By: shawnsum1

Bath Shower Curtains come in an incredible array of colors, textures and patterns. There are modern designs, old fashioned designs, elegant shower curtains, curtains you can change to go with the current holiday or season and designs for kids. Depending on how you are decorating your bathroom, a shower curtain can definitely add to the decor or feeling you are going for.
Shower curtains are usually made from thick plastic or vinyl and protect your bathroom floor from getting wet while someone is showering. There are also fabric curtains but it is generally considered a good idea to use a vinyl liner behind the fabric curtain if you do decide to use fabric. The vinyl is easier to clean, cheaper to replace, will not wear out like wet fabric does and as a whole is much more efficient at keeping water off of your bathroom floor. An interesting idea might be to have a white fabric curtain with cutouts of various shapes in it to allow the color of the vinyl to show through.

Shower curtains are usually hung in the shower by a series of rings slipped over an adjustable pole. Some Bath Shower Curtains come with holes cut into them and brackets that allow you to simply slip the pole through the curtain, eliminating the need for shower rings. Other curtains might have a reinforced sleeve sewn into the top of the curtain that you can slide the pole into and hang that way. One might also use hooks to hang the curtain but, while they look elegant, hooks come off the shower pole rather easily and can be a hassle.

Bath Shower Curtains come in any number of widths and heights. You can have your shower curtain customized with a picture of one of your pets (or yourself if you really wanted to). One website even offers custom, hand-painted shower curtains if that is what you are looking for.

Just remember, while decorating your bathroom, there is so much out there in the shower curtain arena that you shouldn't just shop at your local department store if you are looking for something special.
Some Shower Curtains lend themselves to themes rather than simply color combinations. A shower curtain with a tropical scene or an underwater sea life depiction can act like a mural to liven up a plain, boring bathroom. Beach and water scenes are especially relevant in beach houses or condominiums.

Try to stay in line with the home's overall décor when choosing new Shower Curtains. Country homes with rough-hewn woodwork and leather furnishings should choose country-style bath accents and simple color schemes. Modern apartments or houses with clean lines and bold accents should carry that theme into the bathrooms, choosing Shower Curtains with modern designs and vibrant colors. Each room inside a home should reflect the attitude of the people who live there.

A final note on Shower Curtains brings a more practical side to bathroom decorating. Choose a shower curtain fabric based on the ventilation and sunlight levels in the room. Bathrooms with poor ventilation and very little or no natural light will be susceptible to mold growth. Heavy, plastic Shower Curtains will only make the situation worse. Choose instead fabrics that dry quickly and allow airflow. Cotton, canvas or any loosely woven material is a good choice.
