Shower Curtain Rods - A tension or curved shower curtain rod can help you complete your bathroom's makeover!

Tension shower curtain rods rely on a spring loaded mechanism to hold them in place between two walls.  One reason that they're very popular is that they are so easy to install, and don't require any drilling or screws.  Straight shower curtain rods like this are ideal above shower stalls or bathtubs that have a wall at either side.  For oval shaped tubs, curved shower curtain rods are the answer, which can be fitted into place with screws.  Once you've fitted your rod in place, it's a simple matter of hanging your shower curtain with hooks or rings, and within minutes you've got an effective barrier against water leaks.

Both tension and curved shower curtain rods come in a selection of different finishes.  Which type you choose depends on your personal tastes and what would look best with your bathroom's décor.  Think about what would match with your other fixtures, such as the handles on your bathroom cabinets and your bath faucets.  A chrome or stainless steel shower curtain rod can look great in a modern home, whereas gold or brass plated rods are very popular in period bathrooms. 

Installing a shower curtain rod is a simple alternative to fitting a permanent glass shower door or screen.  Fabric shower curtains are inexpensive to buy and are brilliant for adding a burst of color to your room, so if you're looking to give your bathroom a fresh new image without blowing your budget, hanging a new shower curtain from a tension rod is an economical option.  Whatever you're looking for, online stores are great places to find all kinds of products for showers, from curved rods to decorative hooks and rings, making it easy to give your bathroom a stylish new look!
