The holidays are a time to relax and rejuvenate, but how you slip into that mode is different for different folk. Some prefer the calmness and ease of a staycation with a lovely white Christmas to enjoy, while other want an unforgettable trip that leaves them with fond memories for a lifetime. Then there are us design aficionados, who start thinking about smart makeover and clever decorating changes that give our home a new look as we head into the New Year. It is our way of relaxing while putting that additional free time to good use. And having already started our budget bathroom makeovers series with DIY towel holders, today we explore the world of DIY shower curtains.
Shower curtains are an often ignored addition in the bathroom and yet they make a big visual impact and can completely alter the ambiance of the space. Instead of splurging on a brand new shower curtain that you would fall out of love with in no time, a homemade alternative surely is much more sensible and cost-effective. With shower curtains, you will also realize how an easy little change in the bathroom can revitalize the setting without having you running around in search of extensive and expensive renovations. Colorful, contemporary and even playful, here are the best DIY shower curtain ideas –
A Colorful Punch
Feel a touch bored with all that white and gray in your bathroom? Sure, the spa-inspired look feels fine most of the time, but as winter rolls in, you might be yearning for some much needed color to enliven the bathroom. This is where a bright and beautiful DIY shower curtain comes in mighty handy. The gorgeous multi-colored shower curtain from Martha Stewart is a great start for crafters and it definitely steals the show with its bright pinks and trendy greens. Throw in matching towels and maybe even window treatments and you have a curated modern bathroom that is also vivacious.
