The shower curtain might seem like the last thing on your mind when planning your new bathroom. But it isn’t just a practical way to keep water off your floor. Your choice in shower curtain is as important as your choice of painting in any other room of your house. It can create a focal point as well as tie together your bathroom theme beautifully.

Today, we take a look at the different shower curtains on offer…

Already highlighted as a key trend for 2013 in The Rustic Touch. This checkered curtain complements earthy tones as well as emphasising the farmhouse look.

A firm favourite every year. The nautical theme reduces the ‘girly’ feel to any bathroom replacing it with a classic feel that turns your bathtub into an ocean.

The vibrant pink, orange and aqua in this shower curtain adds a stark contrast to the bright white tiles. As discussed in Pop in some Colour, colours help to add a warm and inviting atmosphere and you can be as experimental as you wish.

With the world literally at your fingertips, the only difficult decision is choosing which region to emulate. From South America to Shanghai whatever your decision it will enhance your bathroom. We are particularly fond of the rich patterns and colours offered from Morocco, inspired from fashion and architecture.
