Funky Shower Curtains
Get Funky with Funky Shower Curtains
Shower curtains are generally thought of as stately, elegant, unassuming pieces, and funky shower curtains are almost unheard of. This is reasonable; shower curtains are rather utilitarian in design, meant to simply preserve privacy and protect the floor from getting wet. Shower curtains are also important metaphorical accessories, and they represent safety, cleanliness, and privacy, meaning that shower curtains should be suitably strong and classy in order to live up to their appeal and meaning.
Therefore, most people tend to get more boring and unnoticeable shower curtains, with white or pale blue tones on a vinyl, plastic, or cloth material. The most exciting design these curtains tend to get range from monograms to ruffles. In other words, there tends to not be much color when it comes to shower curtains.
Some designs, however, buck the trend. After all, if shower curtains are meant to make a statement, one may as well make a fun and exciting statement with them. Funky shower curtains are meant to show an irreverent, fun side to the household, and often succeed at the task. This is mainly because funky shower curtains are quite the opposite of what someone expects when they think of shower curtains. Everyone everywhere has a plain white or blue or off – white shower curtain, so if they see funky designs and new colors and contrasts on yours, they’ll be blown away. Rather than cleanliness and purity, these curtains represent excitement, fun, chaos, and new ideas. Some people may dislike these curtains, thinking of them as ugly or overly unusual, but others will love them, thinking of them as unique, creative, and exciting. The larger category of people will fall into the second half.
Show curtains become “funky” rather easily, actually. As shower curtains are so stereotypically bland, it is not hard to rock the boat, so to speak, and create something never seen before. Simple colorful patterns, maybe tessellations or even pictures, can quickly create a completely unique and never – before – seen shower curtain. It is suddenly ridiculously easy to create excitement, as the standard is so mild and plain. And while mildness and elegance and class have place in larger, slower – moving homes, in modern times, people don’t have the time for overly stifled fundamentals, and prefer instead constantly moving, volatile, creative chaos. In addition, these curtains provide this ideal in a very easy, affordable, customizable, and personal way.
The cool thing about curtains is that they often create a sort of mood for the whole house, without having to be overbearing or too expensive. It is much easier to change shower curtains than to change, for example, all the couches in the house to suddenly be covered in leopard – print. This is because the shower curtain subconsciously and subliminally implants ideas about the household into any visitor’s head. In addition, funky shower curtains can create an appeal and atmosphere that reflects the modern day and age’s creative spirit and progress better than perhaps any other furniture or decoration ever could hope to.
