In the world of bathrooms, shower curtains are high on the priority list. They are often the focal point of this room, centering the main color and theme on one large backsplash. A lot of people settle for traditional and bland curtains which do nothing for their bathrooms and provide a lack-luster covering for the tub. However, there is a world of endless possibilities for that bathtub, making it a place of fun and exciting pop.

A bathroom's theme, and the curtain accordingly, is really decided on based upon who the bathroom users will be. Elegant, rich designs are clearly more suited for master baths or guest suite bathrooms, while fish and rubber duckies may be the ideal for your child's bathroom. However, showers that will be frequented by teens and young adults may be best suited by cool, trendy (and sometimes quite unusual) curtains.

Now, perhaps you have never imagined a shower curtain being considered "cool", but the shower curtain designers are out to prove otherwise. This practical bathroom necessity can be both stylish and trendy as it does its job of keeping the water in the tub and keeping the bather hidden.

What once may have seemed only a must-have for the bathroom in order to serve practical needs is now a canvas for modern art, classy designs, cool colors, and unusual surprises. Shower curtains are no longer relegated to being solid, bland, or ugly. Consumers can find a  curtain that will be the highlight of the bathroom and perhaps even the talk of home decorating skills. There are so many unique curtains out there that it may seem an impossible task to decide which one is the coolest!

Imagine a bathtub encased with a canvas of eye-popping polka dots or a silhouette of someone singing in the shower! Perhaps you will choose a shower curtain that has a long, hysterical dissertation of words or even the Periodic Table of Elements. (Now, that's a way to include education while showering!) Have you ever envisioned a shower curtain that is covered with pictures of steak? Or what about the Milky Way Galaxy? If perhaps cool to you does not mean strange and wacky, you can still find a wide variety of brightly colored, striped, blocked, and polka dotted curtains which will be just as trendy and spectacular as anything else.

Just be careful when selecting that cool shower curtain, for it may become the very boasting of your house!
