A shower curtain is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to change the look of a bathroom. A nature-inspired design brings calm, color and a touch of the outdoors to a room that is often all hard surfaces and white tile.
Nature motifs such as forests, leaves and flowers are among the most popular shower curtain ideas, and they work in almost every style, from modern to rustic. Below we compare six nature-themed shower curtains: three forest and woodland designs and three botanical and floral designs, with tips on how to choose, hang and care for them.

How to Choose a Shower Curtain
- Size. The standard size is 72 x 72 inches. For an extra-tall shower or a very wide tub, look for 72 x 78, 72 x 84 or wider curtains, and measure your rod before you buy.
- Material. Polyester is soft, washable and quick-drying, but most polyester curtains need a liner. Waterproof polyester or PEVA curtains can be used by themselves. Avoid heavily scented vinyl.
- Liner. A separate liner protects the decorative curtain and is easier to wash or replace. A clear or white PEVA or fabric liner costs only a few dollars.
- Hooks and grommets. Metal grommets and rust-proof hooks last longer, and a few curtains come with hooks included.
- Color. Dark patterns hide scum but feel heavier. Light patterns open up a small bathroom, but they show water spots more.
Caring for Your Shower Curtain
Spread the curtain out after each shower so that it can dry, wash fabric curtains regularly at a low temperature, and run an exhaust fan to cut humidity and prevent mildew. If mold appears, wash or replace the curtain, and clean the area around it. For more bathroom ideas, see our bathroom accessories buyer guide and our guide to replacing shower doors.
