How to Install Shower Curtains
Shower curtains are the one design element that can ruin a bathrooms appeal. Everyone who resides in the house will use the bathroom a few times a day. Ensuring that the space is beautiful and safe is important. Here are some tips on how to install shower curtains.
- Select a curtain rod that is long enough to fit within the shower stall area.
- Look for hardware that will hold the shower curtain. Choose a tone that matches the existing design theme. Examples are wood, silver tone, gold tone, or copper. If unsure which color to select take inspiration from the furniture drawer pulls that may be a specific color.
- Purchase shower curtain in a color or pattern that accents the bathroom decor.
- Select shower curtain tie backs and holders that will help secure the shower curtain.
- Install the bar that will hold the shower curtain. Use a drill or other standard tools that will provide stability. Use a laser level to ensure that the curtain rod is placed properly.
- Secure each section of the shower curtain by placing in the curtain hooks one by one.
- Install a shower liner by attaching it to the individual shower hooks. There are shower curtain liners that repel mold and discourage the growth of bacteria. These curtains do cost more than traditional liners, but are more durable, and wipe clean.
- Test the shower curtain and the bar to ensure that it is stable. If there seems to be no way to secure the shower bar due to instability in the wall, contact a professional for installation help.
