Bathroom curtains are used for privacy reasons, or at least this was their original use. With time, they’ve also become an accessory. They are used to add color to the bathroom and to also make a statement. There are numerous designs and styles some of which are actually quite funny and unusual. Some are simple, some are elegant and some are simply lovely. Here are a few examples from all categories.

Colorful bathroom curtain

In this bathroom, the curtain is used as an accent feature. It adds color and pattern and creates a focal point for the décor in an almost all-white space.

Ruffles are delicate and elegant and they can be used for everything, including shower curtains. This ruffled curtain adds style to the bathroom and becomes an accent piece not because of the color, which is a neutral beige, but because of its texture and overall look.

Pattern can also be a way of attracting attention. For example, this shower curtain features a combination of grey and white and is integrated into a bathroom with bright yellow accent pieces so the pattern is a more subtle way of creating a focal point.
