Choosing a new shower curtain can be a difficult decision. With all of the options out there today, the hardest part is settling on just one. Your shower curtain is the focal point of all your bathroom decor, so it is important to choose a piece with colors that you can work with when choosing corresponding towels and accessories. The style of shower curtain that you choose may also dictate the way you decorate to some degree. For instance, a classical baroque design may call for fancier accessories than a modern geometric print.

When decorating your master bath, you can often find a shower curtain and matching bath accessories that coordinate with the bedding for your master bedroom. Croscill, for example, offers matching shower curtains with many of their bedding ensembles, as does Thomasville Home Furnishings. Shopping for matching bed and bath ensembles makes decorating your master suite a snap.

For those who take a more practical approach to the bathroom, there are many shower curtain options which are both functional and stylish.

With these shower curtains, the rod threads right through the curtain so that no hooks are required. They are usually made in durable vinyl or polyester fabrics which makes cleaning a breeze. Springs - Wamsutta makes a variety of hookless shower curtains which come in several color choices. Another great innovation by Springs is “The Arc” shower curtain rod. For anyone who has a small standup shower, this curtain rod is a lifesaver. It curves out around your shower to give you extra space.

If you are more interested in fashion than function, a lace shower curtain is a great way to incorporate elegance into your bathroom decor. Heritage Lace makes a number of gorgeous lace shower curtains, which add an unexpected element of glamour. Seascape is one of their most popular patterns, which is a sheer lace background featuring an intricate pattern of shells and tropical fish.

There are a million options for shower curtains out there, so before you even begin picking out patterns, think of the theme or mood that you want to convey with your bathroom decor. This will help immensely when you are subsequently bombarded with choices. Once you have chosen a theme, it will be a much simpler task to choose a shower curtain that fits with your idea. For instance, if you decide on a nautical theme, you will only be searching for shower curtains that have a nautical element. You may also have a color scheme in mind before you begin, which will help you to wade through the options much more efficiently. If you are shopping online, you can even narrow your search by specifying the theme or color that you are looking for. Once you have chosen a shower curtain, you will want to seek out towels and accessories that complement it. If you have chosen a shower curtain with a colorful pattern, it may be fun to buy towels in several of the colors so that you can mix and match them. Finally, you will need to choose bath accessories (tootbrush holder, tissue cover, etc.) that fit the theme of your room. For example, if you chose a nautical theme, you might look for accessories decorated with shells.

Whether you are revamping your whole bathroom or just looking to give it new life, a new shower curtain can make a world of diference.
