Help with shower curtain

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

Hello,

I need some help picking a shower curtain that doesn't look bad with my wall tile. My tile is large floral pattern in grays/black/white. My vanity is an orange-coral color. My fixtures are chrome and brass/gold. Does anyone have any inspiration for me? I like color, and I'm not afraid to mix patterns!

    Such a cute bathroom! I would use a clear liner and no shower curtain at all! If that doesn't work for you, a solid grey or navy with texture woven in would be nice. The tile and vanity are so beautiful, I wouldn't want the shower curtain trying to get any attention!

    I will also install a glass shower door since you went to all the expense of having that patterned tile installed.

    That white one comes in coral as well but I'm afraid it would detract from the vanity

    I like this one and this one. But a textured clear one would be good also.

    I would do a shower screen so the tile shows off.

    Love your style and fearlessness! Although I would worry about detracting from the tile, you said you like to mix things up:

    glass doors! why pay all that money to have a beautiful shower, and then obscure it w/a shower curtain? besides, that curtain rod you have is sad and saggy, it cuts the tile design in half, and looks funky because it sits so low on the wall. just remove it and have a glass panel installed. you don't even need a door, just do a simple panel. It's a great looking bathroom. let it show!

    or, get a custom, long curtain, and a decent rod that sits way up high.

    Maybe the glass is a future goal, but for now a different solution is needed.

    Beautiful bathroom! I'd want to the tile to remain the star of the show, so I'd probably opt for something mostly white with a touch of your accent color(s).

    so, pay all the money to rehab the bathroom and stop short at a 400 dollar glass panel?? if that's the case, then just get a plain white, extra long shower curtain with chrome rod, perhaps one that curves, that can sit higher than the current one.

    or maybe a coral and white,,,but it needs to sit higher up on the tile

    I hate glass shower doors, so wanting a curtain seems reasonable to me. I do agree about the rod. One place I lived, I couldn't find a long enough shower curtain to fit, in a pattern I loved, so I shopped for window draperies, which come in much longer lengths and attached a long liner on the inside.

    Www.ceilingshowerrod.com has ceiling tracks and custom sized shower curtains to go with it.

    Thank you all for your suggestions. A glass panel is out of the question for now, we really need something that gives privacy to whoever is in the shower. Thanks for the tips on using drapes to make alonger curtains and curtains hung from the ceiling. So far all "normal" curtains are too short to hang any higher. All opinions are much appreciated!!

    CK,,,look for extra long shower curtains. you could also borrow a few inches by doing longer clips that attach to the rods.

    as a side note, they do make privacy glass panels.

    Look for "shower stall" liners. They are longer than standard tub liners.

    This is a hookless shower curtain, the gray and white with texture which I love and would compliment your wall pattern and the lack of hooks would keep it more streamlined. Hookless curtain

    A nice Matouk white pique curtain that won't try to compete with your lovely tile. And get a higher rod and longer curtain.

    Beth H -- do those half panels really contain the water when showering? I like that idea because I hate shower doors on a bathtub.

  • 7 years ago

    stir, yes they do (depending on your type of nozzle and water spray) I just did them on a clients 5' shower. I believe we went w/the 36" . they say they've had no issues with it. I have no doors on my shower at all! however, it's about 48" wide, so the width helps to keep the water contained.

    I’m picturing a shower curtain with some black and orange along the lines Olychick posted. Especially if you are okay with mixing things up. I don’t see it detracting from the tile at all if you leave it partway open. I also think the coral shower curtain is fun and doesn’t detract from the vanity. One way to deal with the shower curtain length issue is to buy two and cut and sew them together. Exactly how depends on the material and pattern.
