A shower is one of the most delightful luxuries of the modern world. This is not idle hyperbole. We all have the opportunity to have hot water cascading down on us with soothing and powerful pressure whenever we want, and for as long as we want. It is as if we all have our own private tropical waterfalls. People put a great amount of effort into getting the perfect shower accessories. They will get shower loofahs, Egyptian cotton washcloths, salon hair care products, exfoliating soap, and many other items. With all of the effort that people spend on getting the right products for their shower, you would expect bathroom shower curtains to take a higher priority. And yet, my experience as an interior designer shows me that this is not the case. The bathroom shower curtain is usually just thrown on as an afterthought.
I suppose that this is understandable. After all, the bathroom shower curtain is not something that you actually use in your shower. You do not rub the bathroom shower liner against your skin. You do not put it in your hair. You only touch it to open and close it at the beginning and end of your shower. Nonetheless, having the perfect bathroom shower curtain is important. After all, showers have two purposes. The primary purpose is cleanliness, and the bathroom shower curtain makes very little difference in whether or not you get clean. All it does is keep water from getting on the floor. The other point of the shower – and the reason that people put so much effort into getting the right shower products – is relaxation. You will find that the bathroom shower curtain plays a key role in relaxation.
The bathroom shower curtain that you use, after all, is bound to set a certain mood. Most bathrooms shower curtains are semi transparent. Light goes through them, creating a relaxing glow. If you have a bathroom shower curtain that has soothing pictures on it, such as a gentle undersea scene, it will enhance relaxation. If, on the other hand, your bathroom shower curtain shows something brighter and flashier, it will help to wake you up. People don't understand how much their environment affects their mood, but the shower is the perfect place to explore this phenomena. After all, you can change the way that the shower looks by simply spending 10 dollars on a new bathroom shower curtain. You'll be amazed at the difference!
