Living inside smartly decorated, beautiful interiors greatly improves one’s quality of life, and the bathroom should be no exception. But many people do not realize this until they experience a well decorated space.

With this in mind, imagine the bathroom decorating beginning with a shower curtain. Allow it to guide the décor of the rest of your space. Shower curtains come in hundreds of patterns and colors. With all this variety, you are not only creating a color palette, you are creating a particular mood or theme. Imagine an Egyptian, Victorian, Japanese, contemporary, traditional or country style bathroom. The patterns on bathroom shower curtains, like wallpaper, do not have to simply slip into the background; they can be bold, exotic, and striking.

You can then coordinate everything else in the bathroom with the shower curtain—picking out colors from it in the same way you would use colors from the living room drapes to choose a rug. Draw attention to it. Begin to think of the objects that you’re decorating with in terms of their size relative to the overall space. What percentage of the bathroom does the shower curtain occupy? In a smaller space, the percentage is obviously large. So, doesn’t it make sense to have a curtain that not only appeals aesthetically to the eye, but also draws your eye to it because of its prominent style? This is the line between a decorated space that is mildly interesting and one that is aesthetically superior. These differentiations are extremely important and contribute to the big picture.
