Some people thing of a novelty shower curtain idea as a curtain that has interesting little animals such as frogs, fish and turtles on them, and those can be unique, yet they have been a bit overdone and you can find them at any store. The type of novelty shower curtain ideas that we want to discuss are personal touches that can make your bathroom spark imagination by using different types of interior design ideas.
Since a bathroom shower curtain can set the whole design palette for the bathroom, you will be easily inspired by using some commonly found types of drapes, curtain rods and accents.
For example, a unique shower curtain rod can add novelty to your bathroom. A large bamboo pole can serve as a shower curtain for an oriental designed bathroom shower, especially when paired with silk drapes that have oriental patterns on them. You can still use a vinyl liner for moisture-proofing, but adding these two simple elements, along with oriental artwork, figurines and urns can take a drab bathroom and turn it into a WOW bathroom with just the inspiration of novelty shower curtain ideas like this.
I think sometimes, could I only have music on my own terms; could I live in a great city and know where I could go whenever I wished the ablution and inundation of musical waves,—that were a bath and a medicine.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
Some people have used a beaded outer curtain on their bathroom shower to add color to a contemporary bathroom. Remember the beaded curtains from a few decades ago? They can add interest to the outer curtain of your bathroom shower, too. Since these beaded strands can come in all sizes, shapes and colors, you can coordinate with just about any color scheme you have in mind.
Moroccan themed bathrooms are a prime spot to consider silk drapes and beaded drapes, in brightly colored assortments. Moroccan is a popular decorating theme for many bedrooms and bathrooms and you can incorporate both of these types of novelty shower curtain ideas easily.
Another novelty shower curtain idea is to use pinch pleated drapes, since they come in a variety of textures, colors and materials. You can still use a separate vinyl liner, although some of them are backed with moisture barriers and they are durable and can be elegant, classically comfortable or casual and affordable. Your bathroom shower can be the inspiration for your entire bathroom, so you have to consider the type of curtain rods, if you are considering an outer drape.
Lord Bath used to say of women, who are apt to say that they will follow their own judgment, that they could not follow a worse guide.
— Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
Outdoor drapes can be a design idea for your novelty shower curtain, too. These drapes are typically canvas or vinyl and already have waterproofing incorporated. These drapes can be the inspiration ranging from a beach cottage idea, nautical Cape Cod themes, or tropical cabana theme.
You can incorporate novelty into the tiebacks for your bathroom shower curtain or even consider affordable designer touches, such as a tri-fold, bamboo screen for that Oriental island feel and an eye-catching feature to your bathroom. You are only limited by your imagination, and there are a lot of different types of novelty shower curtains you can purchase online, too. With a little imagination, you can transform your entire bathroom by changing a few accessories including your bathroom shower curtain and the shower curtain rod.
