Bath Shower Home Design

Here’s an idea that I love: When you have a window in a bathtub or shower, and the window is your main source of natural light in the bathroom, consider using curtain panels that hang to the right and left instead of a shower curtain that when open hangs to just one side. This idea came to me from Clive — who did this in his bathroom. It looks so good in this room — the classic 5′ x 8′-ish bathroom with the tub at the end. As you can see, splitting the panels allows for more of the window to show and to let natural light in. I’m guessing his “ shower curtain ” panels are made from barkcloth. These look so nice framing that tub and that window. And in the case of this bathroom and its layout, when you need to keep the curtain open to see the window, the symmetry is so much more pleasing than having a single panel pushed against the wall one side or another. Pinch pleat them or french pleat them at the top maybe even? A universe of fabric choices if you split your shower curtain into...

eHow Home Home Design & Decor Windows, Doors & Walls What Type of Curtains Look Good in a Bathroom? Follow Jupiterimages/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images With all the humidity, water, makeup, soap and hairspray, a bathroom can be a messy place. Because of the mess issues, many people shy away from using curtains in bathrooms and instead go with frosted glass or plastic mini-blinds. However, the undecorated look is stark and boring. If you'd like to add the color and softness of fabric to your bathroom, there are plenty of curtain styles that work well. Length Shorter curtains are the way to go in bathrooms. While there are exceptions, bathrooms are small, casual rooms. Short, simple curtain panels not only look best, but are up off the floor so they're more likely to remain dry and clean. Also, in a small room such as a bathroom, long curtains can take up too much space, get in your way, and overpower the room. Fabric Because of the high likelihood that your bathroom c...

A decorative shower curtain that’s simple to construct using a Layer Cake and Jelly Roll. This curtain adds color to your bath and shows off your quilting talents in a whole new way. 1 Clermont Farms Layer Cake by Minick & Simpson 1 Clermont Farms Jelly Roll 4 1/2 yards Clermont Farms solid cream fabric or backing of your choice Front Step 1: Arrange all 42 10″ x 10″ Layer Cake samples as pictured below. (I photographed small cuttings so you can see a clearer picture of my rotation). You can create any layout you’d like.

Typically, I start from the left side, and collect each block going across to the end of the row. Therefore, th...

Meet my family, in our annual “Turn the Couch Around Easter Photo.” Notice that I am the only female in the picture?  Yep, I am surrounded by boys. Even my dog and cat are males. This picture is a slightly more accurate representation of what things are usually like around here 🙂 So now that you have a good picture in your mind of the daily craziness that is my house, you will understand why one of my missions is to have my house be as kid-friendly as possible. By “kid-friendly,” I don’t really mean toys everywhere and washable fabrics . . . What I’m really going for is a home where the basic functions can be worked by both adults and children. I want to teach my kids independence, and that they are capable of doing things without always asking for Mommy and Daddy’s help.  Plus, sometimes I just need a break from the craziness 🙂 The bathroom is traditionally one of the  least kid-friendly spaces in any home .  There are all sorts of gadgets in bathrooms which are hard for kids to m...

Bathroom doors are often overlooked when, in fact, they actually play a very important role in the room’s interior design and the ambiance created inside . Because this is a utilitarian space, the focus in mainly on functionality and everything that’s decorative occupies a secondary position. The door combines the two categories, its size and function allowing to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing or stimulating in some way.
