Using Bath Curtain to Change the Look of Your Bathroom

Bath curtains are a cheap and easy way to add some beauty and a bit of design to your bathroom. Any big household shop in your neighborhood is a perfect place to buy bathroom curtains. I suggest you to spend some time browsing internet online shops, previewing the curtains, picking color schemes and patterns, before making the actual purchase.

When making any decoration transformation plans, keep in mind that bath curtain is the key element of any bathroom design. It should be a natural part of the whole design idea of the bathroom. The right color and pattern will fit perfectly in the style of the bath. Curtain is also reflects your personality. That's why it is very important to pick the right bathroom curtain.

Using more than one bath curtain for decoration is a common way to add style to your bathroom.

Here is an easy guide on using two bath curtains in bathroom decoration.

The first bath curtain should be used as a curtain (for preventing water be sprayed on floor). The second one should be cut in pieces and used in different elements of design of the bathroom. Keep in mind that this design idea is intended for unsigned bath curtains made of fabric. Fabric brings additional style to the bathroom. It makes it look gorgeous. Plastic curtains are much cheaper but fabric look nicer. It is easier to use cloth for decorating purposes.
Talking about the practical side of using fabric curtains: they can easily be washed in the machine.

I'd recommend you to avoid large-pattern designs when picking up curtains. For example: instead of floral design it is better to use one solid color or some vertical stripes pattern. It is preferably to use bright colors instead of dark ones.

If you'd ask me about my personal favorites is bath curtain design, I would pick the light blue fabric shower curtain with multiple dark blue colored stripes. Those colors will make this curtain the first thing people notice in my bathroom. Adding a few blue pieces of soap and towels adds a strong feeling of a style to the room. A finishing touch can be done by hanging a nice photo or a painting on the bathroom wall.

Here is simple guide on decorating bathroom with two bath curtains:

  • purchase two identical bath curtains that fits your bathroom design. They should be of the same tint. One a bit lighter, the other should be a bit darker.
  • hang the first (light one) bath curtain on the rod in the bathroom. On the one side, it is going to do it's job (preventing water leaking), and on the other side, it is going to inspire you while finishing rest of the design!
  • the darker bath curtain should be cut to pieces. It is going to be used for matting picture frames. Before making the actual cut, you should pick up the picture (or pattern) you would like to put on your wall. The picture or pattern you are going to use, is pretty much depends of the design and color of your bathroom. For example: if the bathroom are done in yellow and blue and has a sea shore design, it will be a good idea to put a picture of your friends (or family) on the wall. It will remind you about the happy hours you've spend at the sea.
  • once you've picked up the pictures it is time to put them in a frame. Any household shop will help you do that. Be sure to measure the pictures you've picked, before ordering the frames. Use those numbers to get frames of the right size. It might be a good idea, to get a frame of the bigger size and matte the picture with the darker bath curtain. Another cool idea is to matte several photos in one big frame.
  • cut the second bath curtain to pieces of the right size.Tose pieces should fit into frames, filling the empty space when photo places in center. Finding a right spot to hand the picture is another important task.
  • there might be a remaining fabric clippings after the cutting. You might use the in a variety of ways. The first way is to buy a storage containers and cover them with that fabric. A hot glue gun, a stapler and sewing will help you do this. Covered containers can be placed on a small shelf in the bathroom, or stacked on the floor.

Decorating your bathroom is a simple, but exiting process. By adding a little creativity you can express yourself and make a cozy place in your home.
