Do you have a window that needs some dressing up? Do you want to add some color, pattern, or texture to your room? Do you want to save money and get creative with your window treatments? If so, you may want to consider using a shower curtain as a window curtain. Yes, you read that right. A shower curtain can be a great alternative to a regular window curtain, especially if you have a large or odd-shaped window that requires custom-made curtains.
To use a shower curtain as a window curtain, you need to measure your window, choose a shower curtain that matches your style and decor, cut and hem the shower curtain if needed, and hang it on a curtain rod with rings or clips.
The first step is to measure your window and determine how much fabric you need. You can use a tape measure or a ruler to measure the width and length of your window. You may also want to measure how far you want your curtain to hang from the window sill or the floor.
The next step is to choose a shower curtain that matches your style and decor. You can find shower curtains in various colors, patterns, and materials at most home goods stores or online. Look for shower curtains that are made of cotton, linen, or polyester, as they are more suitable for windows than plastic or vinyl ones. You may also want to choose shower curtains that have grommets or eyelets at the top, as they are easier to hang on a curtain rod.
The third step is to cut and hem the shower curtain if needed. Depending on the size of your window and the length of your shower curtain, you may need to trim some excess fabric or add some extra fabric to make it fit. You can use scissors or a rotary cutter to cut the fabric and a sewing machine or no-sew tape to hem the edges. You can also add some embellishments such as lace, ribbon, or pom-poms to make your curtain more unique.
The final step is to hang the shower curtain on a curtain rod with rings or clips. You can use any type of curtain rod that fits your window and matches your decor. You can also use rings or clips that attach to the grommets or eyelets of your shower curtain. Slide the rings or clips onto the rod and then clip them onto the shower curtain. Adjust the curtain so that it hangs evenly and covers the window as desired.
Q: Can I use a shower curtain as a window curtain in any room?
A: You can use a shower curtain as a window curtain in any room where you want some privacy and style. However, you may want to avoid using it in rooms where you need more light control or insulation, such as bedrooms or living rooms. Shower curtains are usually not very thick or opaque, so they may not block out enough light or heat.
Q: How do I wash my shower curtain as a window curtain?
A: You can wash your shower curtain as a window curtain the same way you would wash any other fabric window curtain. Check the fabric label for the washing instructions and follow them accordingly. Some fabrics may require gentle cycle, cold water, or air drying.
Q: How do I match my shower curtain as a window curtain with my decor?
A: You can match your shower curtain as a window curtain with your decor by choosing colors, patterns, and textures that complement your existing furniture, accessories, and wall color. You can also mix and match different shower curtains for a more eclectic look.
There you have it – a simple and easy way to use a shower curtain as a window curtain and save money. With this method, you can dress up your windows with minimal effort and cost and create a fresh look for your room.
