Custom Shower Curtains

Shower curtains are a great way to pep up the interiors of your bathroom. The pleasantly colored or beautifully patterned curtains can indeed make your time in the bathroom a pleasurable experience! Moreover, shower curtains also fulfill their main objective, that is imparting privacy to the shower area. Mostly, they come in a standard size of 72''x72''. However, if the dimensions of your shower stall are not standard, you might have to alter the ready-made curtains. Yet, the best solution would be to make your own custom-made shower curtains.

Custom Designs and Patterns

If you do not wish to go for the standard shower curtains, then curtain manufacturers can make custom curtains for you. You will have to explain your specifications and preferences, so that the curtains can be made accordingly. You might get to select your favorite pattern from the catalog available at the store or website. You might choose a work of a modern artist or you may go for a comical theme, for your shower curtain. Custom vinyl shower curtains are durable and easy to maintain, whereas custom fabric curtains allow more variety in terms of designs, patterns and colors. Customs shower curtains can also be made available to match the drapes, bathtubs, pedestal sinks and other bathroom vanities. You can use your own creativity so as to give a personalized touch to your shower curtains.

How to Make Custom Shower Curtains

Making a custom shower curtain is comparatively an easy project for enthusiastic do-it-yourselfers. All you need is a clean and plain shower curtain, in either vinyl, plastic or fabric. Among other requirements, you will need acrylic paint, pencil and your favorite monogram or logo. Firstly, get the monogram or logo blown to a poster size. This can be accomplished at a copy shop, without spending much money. Lay the curtain over the monogram poster and trace the outline of the letters or logo using a pencil. You might need a marker for tracing on vinyl or fabric curtains. Once, you are ready with the outline of the monogram or logo, fill in the letters with acrylic paint. Allow the paint to dry completely and leave it overnight before hanging it in your bathroom. This way, you can personalize your shower curtain by painting your initials or the logo of your favorite team. Use you creativity to come up with your own ideas for monogram.

Using a similar technique, you can also create a self portrait on your shower curtain. Take a family photograph or any photograph for that matter and get it blown to a poster size. Lay the curtain on the photo and trace only the outlines of your prominent features such as eyes, jawline, etc. Paint your photo in appropriate colors to make your own portrait. Alternatively, you may only trace an outline of your portrait with the help of a black marker on a clear white curtain. Self portrait is an ultimate way of personalizing your shower curtain. Now that you are at it, you can also consider painting your dog's portrait on your curtain.

Thus, custom shower curtains can offer you unlimited scope for experimenting your creativity and coming up with your own ideas for designs on shower curtains. However, do not attempt to create complicated designs on the shower curtain unless, you are good at it!
