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.
