Accessorizing Your Bathroom

When decorating your bathroom think of the shower curtain and shower curtain rings as an important accessory.  Much like the world of fashion, a certain scarf or pair of earrings can make or break an outfit, so too can a shower curtain pull together and complete your bathroom. Changing a shower curtain is an easy and inexpensive way to completely change the overall look of the bathroom. The variety of colors and styles of cool shower curtains range from single-colored opaque curtains to bright colorful beach shower curtains to modern and sophisticated-styled curtains.

Because the ambiance of a bathroom revolves much around water, beach-themed curtains are widely popular.  Vivid splashes of turquoise, yellow and green can brighten up a bathroom, and in some cases, depending on the color of the walls, can make the room look cleaner and larger.  On the other side of the seasonal spectrum you have Christmas shower curtains that can add a real festive touch to your bathroom, and may even motivate you to get into the spirit of the season!

Remember those days when the only available option to hang your curtain were those ugly plastic shower curtain rings?  Well, those days are long gone! Thanks to growing trends, and the idea that a bathroom doesn’t only have practical use but can actually be put together with the same care as any other room, we now have a wide variety of decorative shower curtain rings to choose from.  This makes decorating a bathroom even more fun and really puts your own signature of style on the room.

Choose a beautiful set of acrylic seashell shower curtain rings to match your summery beach shower curtain, or a cute set of polyresin snowmen curtain rings to match your new Christmas shower curtain.  Whatever type of curtain and rings you decide on, remember you have the power to do up or play down your bathroom by the type of curtain you select.

Finish Your Teen’s Bedroom with a Shaggy Rug

Teenagers like their rooms to look a bit different from the rest of your home and they usually have one eye at least on the latest trends. It also makes sense to make their room as comfortable as possible so that it is a place they can take their friends (and stay out of your hair).

Always consult your child on colors and styles as it does neither of you any good if they hate their room. You may be a bit in denial that your fairy princess room loving child has grown up all of a sudden into a teen who detests pink but it will do you both good if you can face reality.

Look at colors together, visit displays in stores and look at pictures and try and find a compromise color scheme that you are both happy with. Once you have that worked out you can get down to choosing items which suit your taste and budget.

Once you have the basic floor covering, bedding and curtains chosen you will have the fun task of picking out accessories. If you have chosen practical flooring such as wood, laminate or plain carpet (which you should) then one of the accessories which goes down well with most teens is a shaggy rug made of cotton. These come in most colors and they are washable. If you pick out a color from the bedding or curtains you will probably find you can match it up in your rug and perhaps a throw for the bed. This will tie the color scheme of your teen’s room together nicely.

Shaggy rugs have all the attributes necessary to gladden your teenager’s heart. You probably don’t have them in the rest of your home, if it is at all traditional. They are right on trend and they make a comfortable place for lounging around reading and listening to music.
