You left your boring white curtains behind, replaced them with colorful tapestry shower curtains, and now you’re wondering how to style your bathroom with this new pop of color.
Block printed tapestry shower curtains highlight the focal point of any bathroom—the bathtub, or standing shower.
They make this space look beautiful and inviting, ready for you to relax and freshen up after a long day.
You can hang the curtain and leave it at that, or make a few more changes to transform your bathroom into a spacious relaxation area, spa sanctuary, or a tropical paradise.
Tricks to make your bathroom seem larger
Pristine white bathrooms have been the default design choice for so long because light colors create the illusion of a larger space. However, you can use colorful tapestry shower curtains to create a similar illusion.
Start by hanging your shower curtain above the shower’s edge to make the ceiling look higher. By placing the curtain closer to the ceiling, the eye is drawn further up the wall, making the room appear more spacious.
Curtains aside, you can tweak other elements in your bathroom to create the illusion of space as well:
- Add mirrors: Reflected light can really brighten a room, making it feel more spacious and open than it is.
- Remove any clutter: Leaving toiletries out in plain sight can make a bathroom feel cramped.
- Have closed storage: Keep your toiletries hidden to reduce the appearance of clutter .
- Install vertical shelves high on the wall: This encourages people to look upward, making the room seem taller.
1. Use accents to create a cohesive bathroom style
Similar to the jewelry worn on your hands, fingers, and around your neck, “accents” are minor details that unite the entire room to create a style. The most common accent colors are silver, gold, black, copper, and white.
How do you match accents with colorful tapestry curtains?
The table below shows you which accents best suit the vivid colors of our blue, orange, and red tapestry curtains. We also included ideas on how to incorporate these accents in your bathroom.

Ruby Kilim ~ Designer Luxury Red Black Fabric Shower Curtain

Gardens of Versailles ~ French Yellow Gold Shower CurtainExpert tip: Tapestry curtains always have at least two colors—one is dominant and the other is for intricate details and patterns. The color that’s used for detailed ornamentation is the one you should use as the accent color in your bathroom.
Choose one accent color and be consistent to make the bathroom look cohesive.
2. Introduce a vacation-inspired theme with tapestry shower curtains
A bathroom is a soothing place for unwinding and relaxation. Why not create a vacation mood using tapestry curtains to further improve your days off? Choose between:
- Blue ocean-inspired tapestry curtains to remind you of a day at the beach
- Orange tropical paradise inspired tapestry curtains to make every day feel like summer
- Neutral toned spa-inspired tapestry curtains to remind you to take a deep breath and relax
Tropical paradise in your bathroom
Warm color tones (orange, red, and yellow) combined with a lot of light, floral patterns, and plants will make you feel like you’re on a tropical vacation right in your bathroom.
Choose from these shower curtains to create a tropical wonderland of your own:

Blue tapestry curtains that bring the ocean home
A beach theme is an obvious choice for a bathroom design. If you’re going for the coastal theme, decorate your bathroom with anything that reminds you of the sea—shell-shaped soap holders, coral print hanging on the wall, or woven storage.
However, just hanging rich blue tapestry curtains is enough to transport you to the happy days you’ve spent at the beach.
This Pacific Blue shower curtain featuring waves instantly makes a bathroom feel ocean-themed with little effort.
Shower curtains inspired by Morocco and the blue Atlantic ocean transport you to a Mediterranean vacation.

Relaxation and spa-inspired shower curtains
Lighter hues, white accents, natural elements such as live plants and wood, and candles will create the calming feeling of a spa in your bathroom.
