Why My Home Shower Curtain is Subject to Change (And How That Helps Me Design!)
The other day I was out at the store and came across the cutest home shower curtain. It had ducks on it and they were fighting a mock war. I thought it was really awesome, really funny, and the perfect addition to my bathroom, so I bought it. When I got to the register the sales person said “ANOTHER one?” and then laughed with me.
It’s true. I have more than one home shower curtain for each bathroom. In fact, I have a drawer with quite a few of them in it back home. Some people have a lot of bed sheets, but me, I collect these bathroom accents. Those may not seem analogous to you, but they make perfect sense to me.
Think about it, why might you change your sheets? Because they got dirty. Because you got bored of the color. Because you found a really cool one. Because you were changing the look and feel of your room. And all those reasons? Well, they work for almost ANY decorating element. And they certainly work for a home shower curtain.
It’s a lot easier to clean your home shower curtain when it’s off the rod. Changing the color of it every now and then, like changing your sheets, can help bring some excitement to your room. Suddenly, something is a little bit different, a little bit less rote. As a result, you can feel more energized and your mood improved.
Obviously cool things abound everywhere, but I think changing the look and feel of a room is the most important reason to have more than one home shower curtain. My design philosophy is to create rooms that are aesthetically flexible. What this means is while the room is unified, if I want to change something, even a small thing, I don’t have to redesign the whole room. It’s flexible, and so I can mix and match accent pieces with no fear.
