Shower Curtain Fashion Show


The hallway bathroom project is nearly done... and it felt time to splurge on a new shower curtain. When I first moved in 18 months ago, I tossed up the shower curtain from my old North End apartment. There was zero emotional attachment to this chevron shower curtain... it was free and houses are expensive.

BUT - with the board and batten project wrapping up I knew the time was coming for a new shower curtain. I had done all the labor for this project myself (with help from my dad) so a new shower curtain was a reasonable expense.

Goals:

  • don't stray too far from the traditional style of the bathroom
  • bring in some color to the black / white / gray bathroom
  • maybe be a little bit different than some of my normal design decisions

After probably about 2 hours on Target and Amazon, I bought 11 shower curtains. Was this excessive? Yes. Was it a fun way to spent quarantine? Almost. Was this the only way to shop for shower curtains in a pandemic? Also yes.

Here are all the shower curtain options that I've tried as of now. I feel relatively confident that the winner is in this batch of 11.

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11

 As of now, here are some initial thoughts.

  • Deny Designs (5, 6, 9, 10) are the most expensive... and feels like the cheapest quality fabric
  • Target options (2, 4, 7) fabric is the best quality. Feels nice and heavy. The only challenge is they don't really bring any color to the room. Excellent value.
  • Top options as of now? #1 and #8
I'm optimistic that I won't be buying shower curtain #12 at some point in a fit of exasperation... but only time will tell.
