8 Creative Shower Curtains to Transform Your Bathroom

If you’re designing for the first time or just feel like you’re in a rut in your existing apartment, start in the bathroom. Why? It’s a smaller space, so it won’t seem that intimidating, and because it’s a room that won’t always be on display, you can have a little fun with it. 

The shower curtain you choose can do a number of things to your bathroom. If you opt for a single clear curtain, it can make a cramped space look larger. If you want to quickly add color to an all-white room, you can lean into bold, colorful shower curtain prints that won’t cost you that much money to change out. Either way, here are eight of the best shower curtains pulled from House Tour archives that will inspire you to switch things up in this smaller (yet important!) space.

This colorful, color-block shower curtain from Society 6 pulls in all of the working colors of this Florida bathroom. It’s a statement-maker for sure, but because most of the prints are concentrated in the shower curtain and the rug, it’s just bold enough to work.
