At their most basic level, shower curtains are meant to keep water from splashing onto the floors and walls of your bathroom. But their purpose extends beyond function: A shower curtain is part of a bathroom’s decor, and depending on which you choose, it can add a touch of personality or luxury to the space, said Pamela O’Brien, principal interior designer at Pamela Hope Designs.

While shopping for shower curtains, experts said to consider the following factors:
Material: Shower curtains are usually made from plastic, vinyl or fabric. Susan Peters, owner and interior designer for 9108 Designs, said a fabric shower curtain often makes a room look more finished, but ultimately the type of material is a personal preference.
Size: Most shower curtains come in widths to accommodate a 60-inch standard bathtub, and the standard shower curtain length is 72 inches, O’Brien said. Some brands also offer long and extra-long shower curtains. If your shower is particularly large or small, experts suggested buying a custom-made curtain. And if your shower curtain rod is curved, you may need to purchase multiple curtains to provide full coverage.
Style: Shower curtains are available in dozens of colors and patterns to best match your bathroom’s decor.
Hanging method: Peters said some shower curtains have grommets at the top for you to slide a curtain rod through, but most are intended to be hung with hooks or rings.
Care: As shower curtains are exposed to moisture over time, they can develop mold or mildew if you don’t clean them properly every few months. Pay attention to how the brand recommends cleaning the curtain you’re considering — machine-washable options are the easiest, while some may require dry cleaning.
Target Threshold Fringe Shower Curtain Off-White
Since I love Target Threshold sheets and towels, I turned to the brand when I needed a new shower curtain for my apartment. This option is white with a simple black striped pattern and fringed bottom, and matches the neutral-colored decor in my bathroom. The curtain has a buttonhole top to put rings or hooks through. Size: 72x72 | Material: Cotton | Care: Machine wash and line dry or lay flat to dry Target Threshold Fringe Shower Curtain Off-White $20.00
Brooklinen Shower Curtain
Select editor Lindsay Schneider loves Brooklinen’s Shower Curtain. It has a matte finish, according to the brand, and comes in four patterns: Black Dash on White, Black Windowpane on White, Steel and White Oxford Stripe and Orange Grove on Grid. There are 12 holes on top of the shower curtain to put rings or hooks through. Size: 72x72 | Material: Cotton | Care: Machine wash and line dry or machine dry on low heat/tumble settings Brooklinen Shower Curtain $69.00
Pottery Barn Belgian Flax Linen Waggle Shower Curtain
Peters said Pottery Barn offers “very nice off-the-shelf fabric shower curtains.” This option has a waffle texture and comes in four solid colors: White, Flax, Chambray and Gray. There are buttonholes at the top to put rings or hooks through. Size: 72x72 | Material: Linen woven Belgian flax | Care: Machine wash and tumble dry on low heat Pottery Barn Belgian Flax Linen Waggle Shower Curtain $87.00 $109.00
Shower curtains ensure that water is kept inside your tub and off your floors. And since they become part of your bathroom’s decor, brands and retailers offer options to fit most aesthetics. In addition to narrowing down shower curtain options by what they look like, experts recommended thinking about factors like size, material, hanging method and...
A shower curtain liner is usually made from plastic or vinyl. It’s meant to help prevent water from splashing out of your shower and it’s paired with fabric shower curtains to protect the fabric from water, thus extending its longevity, Brown said. Shower curtain liners need to be cleaned or replaced about every six months since they’re directly exposed to water and can get moldy or accumulate mildew if not properly cared for, our experts said.
Using a fabric shower curtain with a liner creates a “double shower curtain” so the fabric is visible from outside the shower and the liner is visible on the inside, Peters said. A shower curtain liner should be tucked into the tub, and Peters said it should come close enough to the bottom of the tub so as to not let water seep out underneath it.
No, you don’t always have to use a liner, experts told us. If your shower curtain is made from water-resistant fabric — plastic or vinyl — it’s designed to repel moisture, so a liner is not required. It’s most important to use a liner with fabric curtains that are not made from a water-resistant material. And even if you buy a fabric shower curtain...
