Preparation
You have likely carefully designed almost every room in your home—but one often-overlooked area is the bathroom. The pieces inside of it, like a shower or tub, can make the area stand out, especially when they are dressed up with one crucial piece: “A quick way to update your bathroom without remodeling is to add a new shower curtain,” says Mary Maloney, the owner of Bee’s Knees Interior Design. “The shower curtain takes up a lot of visual real estate in a bathroom; swapping out this one detail is one of the easiest updates you can make.”

She notes that a colorful curtain can change the palette of the room (no painting necessary), whereas a white iteration can make the entire room feel clean and calm. Plus, keep in mind that there are plenty of options to choose from—your choice, however, should depend on the style of your tub or shower. “For a clawfoot tub, I love a shower curtain that encircles the whole space. It provides privacy and looks elegant,” explains Andi Morse, the founder and principal designer of Morse Design. “To spruce up a standard shower, a custom curtain made from a fabric you adore is an easy way to pull some personality into the space.” If you want to shop for a pre-made version instead, we have you covered: Ahead, find the best shower curtain styles on the market to add some elegance and function to nearly every shower and tub type.
