Why You Should Be Using Two Shower Curtains In Your Bathroom

When taking the time to redecorate your home, you might be more inclined to focus on the bedroom or the living room, and for a good reason. Obviously, the look and feel of your bedroom are important because you need it to be a soothing area of the home to get the rest you need. Also, your living room is where you entertain guests and spend your time recharging or with your family.

However, you may be missing out on an amazing decorating opportunity by ignoring your bathroom. It's estimated that the average person spends up to 416 full days of their existence in the washroom — according to the Independent — so why not give it the proper designer attention it deserves? This could mean updating that sink, redoing the floors, or even adding funky mirrors to liven up the look of your lavatory.

Even picking up some new shower curtains can help to make the space more appealing without costing you a whole lot of extra money and time. Some folks have also been doubling up on those curtains, but it might not be for the reason you think. Let's take a look at the advantage of going with a two-fold curtain approach to your shower.

When thinking about adding two shower curtains to your bathroom, your mind might jump to the combination of a designer curtain matched with a shower liner on the inside. This is a popular and important pairing as adding a vinyl or plastic liner can help save your good outer shower curtain from being destroyed by moisture, which could allow mold and mildew to form.

Instead, think about purchasing a second shower curtain of the same color or pattern and use it much in the same fashion as you would the curtains for your other windows. This can act to provide a unique look to the bathroom. Not only can it give a more symmetrical style to your bathtub and shower, but by also keeping those curtains open, it can make the room seem more open and airy.

Also, for those bathrooms that bear the benefit of large windows behind the tub, having the two-curtain aesthetic can really turn the room's look around. Windows behind a tub or tub/shower combo can provide an excellent source of ventilation, as per The Bathtubber. It can also add a wonderfully unique look, especially if it is done with patterned privacy glass. Having this feature framed by curtains on both sides can accent those windows perfectly and allow for more natural light to spill into the room.
