A low-maintenance and budget-friendly alternative for separating the shower area is with shower curtains. Just get a waterproof shower rod (think stainless steel) and find the curtain style you like. Tip: Pick PEVA (polyethylene vinyl acetate) or EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) curtains. These are non-toxic and more eco-friendly. Avoid ‘vinyl’ or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) – they contain toxic plastic-softening compounds, including phthalates – resulting in the horrid smell you get when you open anything made of PVC.

My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

If you want something that’s unique, think natural materials like bamboo to set up an eco-friendly screen for covering the shower area. Plus, bamboo is water-resistant, easy on the pocket and gives another textural element to your bathroom. Displayed in the image is a closely woven bamboo screen which is not see-through and ensures privacy.
