These stylish shower curtains will instantly refresh your bathroom (2024)

A shower curtain may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of bathroom decor, but they play a significant role. A well-chosen design can seamlessly blend functionality with style, transforming a plain bathroom into a warm and inviting space filled with character.

Forget the typical boring white plastic curtain — there are plenty of attractive choices, from intricate and playful patterns to minimalist designs infused with artistic charm (think: scalloped fringing). Plastic isn’t the standard either; many designs are made from breathable and absorbent materials, such as linen and cotton.

How to care for a shower curtain

When it comes to caring for your new accessory, you should leave the curtain open after showering to allow air circulation and prevent moisture and mildew buildup. It should also be regularly cleaned so, depending on its care instructions, wipe it down with a damp cloth or pop it in the washing machine every month or so.
