Fabric shower curtains provide an inexpensive bathroom makeover in no time!
Your home is your castle, right? No matter how modest in size or furnishings, you want every inch of your home to look attractive and well kept. Sometimes you just want a change in looks to keep things fresh and interesting. The usual bugaboo in this plan is the budget. One of the easiest, least expensive ways to lift your spirits and spruce up your home is with a mini-makeover in the bathroom. Here's a way to do it with a budget of just $50 really!
The appearance of any room is overwhelmingly a visual experience. Color, fabrics and art work all contribute to the mood and feel to that room. In the bathroom, the tub takes up a great deal of space, which you can use to your decorating advantage. Fabric shower curtains can become a tasteful centerpiece to your bathroom ambience. Is your current shower curtain showing its age? You'll be amazed at what a new fabric shower curtain can do for the bathroom.
The variety of available patterns and fabrics in shower curtains today is astounding. If you haven't looked lately, a visit to a bed and bath shop will surely spark your imagination as to the possibilities the simple fabric shower curtain brings to the decorating table. You will find something you'll like!
When you use fabric shower curtains, you'll still need a shower curtain liner inside the tub. The fabrics are almost always waterproofed and mildew proof, but be sure to check before you buy. You can also use a waterproof fabric spray for extra protection.
There are also several styles of fabric curtains from which to choose. There are straight pull-across types, which work well in a small bathroom. More elaborate styles may overwhelm a small space, so keep this in mind. Some of the straight pull across types have a 'built in' valance for a more sophisticated look. If your bathroom is larger, there are fabric shower curtains in tie-back styles, usually with a matching valance. These styles are more substantial, visually, with some elegant damask-like fabrics trimmed with matching or contrasting ties.
If you choose a patterned curtain, consider both the size of your bathroom and the pattern. A large pattern with many colors, particularly in a small bathroom, may not wear well on your eyes for long. Consider as well your current stock of bathmats and towels. If your supply is shot, get a few new ones in colors that coordinate well with your new shower curtain. You can add to your new supply as you go along. Watch for the sales!
That's all there is to getting your fresh, new bath makeover, on the cheap. Bring in a vase of fresh or dried flowers and hang a new picture. Mission accomplished. From beginning to end, it's less than a day's effort. Happy decorating!
