Could your gray bathroom use a splash of color? Set your sights on your new shower curtain. Shower curtains serve as both a practical essential and a decorative statement piece in your bathroom.

Your shower curtain provides the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. The combination of warmth, moisture, and limited ventilation creates ideal conditions for these unwelcome fungi to thrive.

A good curtain rod will be versatile, both in terms of function and aesthetics: Ideally, you’ll change them out less often than your curtains, so you want them to work with a range of styles.
