Thank you. Most of my house is this color scheme

I figure looking at my tub is no different than looking at and using my toilet!

ITA When I go into someone's bathroom and the shower curtain is closed I assume the bathtub is dirty.

I had a neighbor who stored things in her tub behind the shower curtain. She had a shopping addiction.

I just copied this for our upstairs bathroom from a picture I found on Pinterest. The only thing I did differently was having clear glass frame-less shower door and there is a window above the tile in the tub. Sorry to brag, but I think it's stunning!


That does look pretty. I like vintage looking things, and I love fabric and pattern, and I like to bring that into my bathroom, so this is a look I like. The nice thing about it, is that it has a traditional look while not looking dated (at least not to me). I'll have to rethink this curtain idea, and may incorporate it into my husbands bathroom.

Re: Never did ""get"" this look

when I first read OP I envisioned ruffles, pink/mauve, land of precious look. But the black curtain look does look more modern with clean lines.

Re: Never did ""get"" this look

Did I say I was worried about it? No, I did not. I am asking what the design goal is by doing it because I simply don't understand it. maybe you shouldn't be worried about innocent questions posted on a home forum.

Re: Never did ""get"" this look

My mom, who is in her late 80s, has this look in her bathroom. It is pretty the way she has it done. She has a soft lavendar print for the shower curtain. Her bathrrom is the same size & layout as the photo PKB posted.

I used to have it years ago & many people still decorate this way. I never thought of it as trying to look like a window. It is just decorating. I prefer a simpler look these days & have a white shower curtain that allows the light from the window in the shower to get through & brighten the room. My shower curtain is usually kept half open so the water can dry after a shower.

Re: Never did ""get"" this look

I've always kind of liked the tailored version of this look, though I don't have mine like that right now. I never thought of the tie-backs trying to make it look like a window. One advantage to it is that it conceals storage poles and/or the storage rack that hangs over the base of the shower head. I don't think it's necessary for my guests to see my shampoos, razor, etc.{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}
