You can easily create a stylish and functional shower curtain or window treatment with some basic DIY skills. A shower curtain can be made from a variety of materials, including fabric, plastic, or even a repurposed old window.

For a simple and budget-friendly option, consider using a tension rod to install a shower curtain. This can be especially useful in small bathrooms where a traditional rod installation might not be feasible.

A shower curtain can also be a great way to add some color and personality to a bathroom. Choose a pattern or design that complements the existing decor, and don't be afraid to get creative with fabric choices.

DIY and Installation

To make the most of your shower curtain, you can repurpose it as a window curtain. Cut it in half, hem the raw edge, and voila! You're done. This hack is especially great for mobile and manufactured homes where standard panels won't fit.

I've always been a fan of repurposing old shower curtains as window treatments. It's a great way to give your windows a fresh new look without breaking the bank.

Cutting a shower curtain in half is a simple process, and you can even skip ironing it if you're feeling lazy like me. Just eyeball the edge and hem it with a sewing machine.

You can use shower curtains with fun patterns to add some personality to your windows, like the author of Example 1 did. They also make a great way to add warmth to a room.

Here are some benefits of using shower curtains as window treatments:

Don't be afraid to get creative with your shower curtain window treatment. Edna, for example, used a plastic shower curtain as a blackout liner and paired it with a woven curtain for a unique look.

If you're working with a small window or a unique shape, consider using a shower curtain with a solid color to match your decor.

Hanging Higher

Hanging a shower curtain higher can make a huge impact on the look and feel of your bathroom. You might not even need a specialty extra long shower curtain to make this work for you.

To start, you'll need a double shower curtain rod, which can be installed just below your bathroom's crown molding. If you don't have crown molding, install it 2-3 inches below the ceiling.

A pair of 90" or longer window curtain panels can also be used to add height to your shower curtain. Tablecloths can work too, and they don't require any sewing.

You'll also need an extra long waterproof shower curtain liner and some shower curtain hooks. Curtain ring hooks are also helpful for clipping the curtain panels to the outside rod.

Here are the specific materials you'll need to hang a shower curtain higher:

  • Double shower curtain rod
  • Pair of 90" or longer window curtain panels (or tablecloths)
  • Extra long waterproof shower curtain liner
  • Shower curtain hooks
  • Curtain ring hooks

Conversion and Upgrades

If you're considering converting a window curtain into a shower curtain, you'll need to address the width issue.

The width of a window curtain may not be as wide as a shower liner, so you'll need to find a solution.

For a curved shower rod, you can hang the excess liner in the center of the curve, making it easy to hide.

If you have a straight curtain rod, you'll need to pleat the liner by placing two grommet holes on one shower hook to shorten the width.

You can mark a notch on the curtain panel for each grommet hole, and then sew a buttonhole at each mark to hang the liner.

Matching your shower curtain rings and rods is crucial for a beautiful and practical bathroom.

You can match them with high-quality and durable metal shower curtain rods and rings.

General Information

Shower curtains and windows are two essential elements in any bathroom, serving different purposes but equally important for a comfortable and safe space.

A standard shower curtain is usually around 72 inches wide and 72 inches long, providing adequate coverage for most shower areas.

To prevent water from seeping onto the floor, a shower curtain is typically made of water-repellent materials such as vinyl, polyester, or PVC.

A window in the bathroom, on the other hand, is crucial for ventilation and natural light, helping to reduce moisture buildup and prevent the growth of mold and mildew.

A bathroom window is often smaller than other windows in the house, typically measuring between 24 and 36 inches wide and 36 inches tall.

Using window curtains as shower curtains is a great way to add some extra design flair to your bathroom. You can find long tablecloths at thrift stores for an affordable option.

One thing to keep in mind is that you'll need a waterproof shower curtain liner to protect your decorative curtain panels from water damage.

Regular as?

Regular as? It's not always a good idea to use regular curtains as shower curtains.

You can use window curtains with grommets on the top as shower curtains, but only if they have holes for the shower hooks.

Sewing button holes is a quick fix to make a regular curtain work as a shower curtain, but only if it has a casing that needs holes for the shower hooks.

It's not that hard to make a regular curtain work in the shower, but you need to be willing to make a few adjustments.
