  Make It Feel Ethereal

  

  Emphasize your showers with great lighting. Instead of using a dark curtain that will trap the light from a bonus window, choose a light and airy shower curtain that will evenly disperse sunlight all over the room.

  This will not only keep the space well-lit, but it will also offer an almost otherworldly, or romantic glow.

  Balance Different Shapes

  

  If you have plenty of shapes in your bathroom decor from a circle mirror to octagon tiles, be sure to juxtapose them with a solid color shower curtain or one with a simple pattern. In other words, adding shapes to the curtain as well might make the entire bathroom decor feel too matchy-matchy.

  White brightens a room and adds an element of contrast when paired with patterns. If your bathroom floor has a nice pattern, give the eye a rest by popping in white decor nearby to balance out the pattern.

  Tie It Back

  

  Some showers may have unique hardware, so if you want to naturally show it off, install a tie-back so you can easily put the shower curtain to one side. Go for a shower curtain that matches the rest of the space's color palette to create a cohesive look.
