Funky Shower Curtains- How Funky Can You Get!
Funky shower curtains are a fun and easy way to jazz up any bathroom. In what can easily become the most boring room of the house, a patterned shower curtain will add a boost of energy and color. Baths can be one of the most relaxing and indulgent ways to end a day and a cool curtain can add to the experience as a visual treat. Or, consider your college student. Very little can be done to spice up a dorm room but a fantastic shower curtain could definitely add a touch of personal style. Either way, funky shower curtains are generally rather cheap - so it's a simple way to change up the bathroom without committing to a more drastic remodeling. Let's take a look at some shower curtain basics and the many types of curtains you have to choose from.
If you're replacing an outdated, boring curtain you probably already have the equipment necessary for the job. However, for those replacing glass doors or installing a curtain for privacy where there wasn't one before, there are several things you'll need. Shower rods come in plastic or metal and one can be found to fit any bathroom. Measuring is usually not necessary as most rods adjust within a range of a few feet. Plastic rods are cheaper and lighter, but if you opt for their sturdier metal counterpart make sure it is coated against rust. Outward curved shower rods are a great option if you want to add space to a cramped shower. After the rod you will need shower curtain rings. It is important to select a ring strong enough to hold up your new shower curtain, as well as one small enough to fit through the curtain's grommets. If you already have these supplies, keep them in mind when you shop for new curtains, if not they can generally be found at any hardware, home décor, or superstore.
Now on to the funky shower curtains! Believe it or not, there is an enormous market for fun and unique bathroom accessories. You can get anything from shower curtains printed with personal pictures to automatically opening and closing units. For the horror movie fan (or one with a wacky sense of humor) there is even a Hitchcock's Psycho themed curtain. If you're into graphic design, you can find any style of trippy art: paisleys, swirls, dreamscapes, the options are unlimited. For the sophisticated shower-taker check out the skyline printed funky shower curtains. However, there are also several practical matters to consider. Vinyl and plastic shower curtains are the most waterproof, but cotton, linen, or silk will be far more attractive. Whatever you decide you should protect your new curtain from the damaging effects of water and mold with a liner. These as well come in a range of materials and prices, the more expensive ones are the most durable. With an abundant number of choices out there, a funky shower curtain can be found to suit any mood and spruce up any bathroom.
