If you’re looking to add some personality and style to your bathroom, a new shower curtain rod may be just the ticket. But when shopping around, you may find yourself struggling to find the right size between two that appear similar—one that looks like it will be too short or too long when compared to your current curtain length. If this sounds familiar, don’t panic! It just takes a bit of math to get the right fit for your new rod, and we’ll show you how in today’s article on getting the perfect length for your shower curtain rod.
Finding the Right Curtain Height
You’ll want your curtains to be a few inches above where you hang your shower curtain rod (usually 4 to 6 inches). If you’re choosing between two options, go with draperistång is longer. If you’re installing a curved shower rod, make sure to measure from end to end, including any curves in your rod. That way you get both sides of your curtain lined up evenly.
Customize Your Curtain Length
Bathrooms can get wet and shower walls are constantly dripping with water. Opting to install a plastic shower curtain is likely to make your bathroom more slippery, which could be dangerous if there are any hazards lurking nearby. If you’re in need of a new shower curtain rod, consider choosing one that allows you to customize its hang your curtain back on its rod like you normally would. That way, when you pull down on the fabric to shower or rinse off, your hands will be facing outward length depending on your preferences. Selecting a wall-mounted shower curtain rod that features multiple hook locations will give you more options.
Shop Shower Curtains
If you don’t want to build a shower, shop shower curtains at hardware and home stores. Don’t be afraid to ask them to demonstrate how tall their rod is from the ground. This is one time when going into a store and touching something in person can help you figure out what will work best in your bathroom. Be aware that thicker or multiple layers of fabric require taller rods if you want any duschdraperistång badkar (and let light through). Other things to keep in mind: Do I want something colorful? Should it absorb water or repel it? What’s my style preference? Do I need more than one curtain (maybe even an inner liner)? Will I use other liners underneath (sheer panels, extra color, etc.)?
How to Store a Shower Curtain
Before you put away your shower curtain, take a few minutes to store it correctly. Most store-bought curtains come with a vinyl lining at the top, which prevents water from seeping out of holes and keeps mildew from growing. To keep that in place and avoid ruining your curtain, fold it so that it’s facing inward (the folded part should be sticking up). Then, hang your curtain back on its rod like you normally would. That way, when you pull down on the fabric to shower or rinse off, your hands will be facing outward—keeping them far away from any wet shower wall behind it.
