Shower Curtain Favorites

Shower curtains are a great way to make a quick update to any bathroom, but it can often be difficult to find the perfect one!  There are so many out there that look the same and are just plain boring.  Luckily, we have searched far and wide for some of our favorites to share with you.  Check them out today!

Waterfall Ruffle – This romantic shower curtain from Urban Outfitters is filled with texture and excitement.  Priced at $68 and available in both sky and ivory, it is fun, flirty, and affordable!

Banded Sateen Shower Curtain – This shower curtain is crisp, clean, and sophisticated.  We’ve always been a fan of the shower curtains at Restoration Hardware, but we especially love this collection.  Available in nine different color ways and priced at $79, you can’t go wrong!

Sprout Home – We love all of the shower curtains they have for sale.  From the large graphic scaled Crest Shower Curtain to the eye catching Kaleidoscope Shower Curtain, they are all great! Plus, at $35, you can even get two and change your bathroom every other week!

Ty Shower Curtain – Feeling creative?  Why not make your own shower curtain with these amazing recyclable shower curtains from Grain Design.  Priced at $33, this is a great way to personalize your bathroom, or do it with your roommate as a group project.  Either way, you’ll take pride in your creation!
