What is the first thing most people will do in the morning and the last thing they will do at night? The answer is go in the bathroom! When you are in the bathroom, one of the main things that will catch your eye is your shower curtain. That makes sense, since it's about the size of a wall! If it takes up that much space in your bathroom, then it should be appealing as well as practical.

Not long ago, people only bought plain solid color shower curtain to meet the basic need of keeping the water in the tub. Now we have largely done away with boring and hideous plastic curtains and there are many unique shower curtains available.

I have actually talked to people who have said that changing their shower curtain to something colorful or fun helped their feelings. It can actually set you up for a great mood! So, be careful of the style and make sure it is cheerful and happy.

Shower curtains come in various styles to reflect just about any profession, interest or hobby. For children you can buy a curtain that has the solar system, a dinosaur theme that lists the different types of prehistoric animals, or even one with maps. You could decorate with Disney characters, animals or the ocean just to mention a few.

For a masculine look you could choose a sports, golf or rustic cabin scene. A curtain covered with musical notes or a nautical scene would be great for people of all genders. Of course there are plenty of looks for the ladies as well. These well-liked styles include clouds, holiday themes, beaches and personalized designs. Fabric curtains are a big hit with women since they look more homey.

Shower curtains can be wild and crazy or simple and sophisticated, depending on the colors used and the types of prints. Other well-liked styles are jungle prints, angel themes, polka dots, rainbows, flowers, and nature scenes.

You can buy some mainstream rod-style curtains, or purchase decorative curtain hooks. These are available in all types of material including plastic, glass and brass. I guarantee you will find one you like. There are even the ones to match your theme. You can do angels, flowers, or a simple colored ring.

Be sure to keep your shower curtain clean and dry your curtain after use to prevent mold growth. Most shower curtains can be laundered, though some need to be dry-cleaned. Be sure not to wash a vinyl or plastic curtain on a high setting and certainly do not dry them in the dryer.

To make your bathroom go from functional to fashionable, consider changing out your shower curtain. It is a quick and low-cost way to make a huge difference to a boring bathroom.
