If you are planning a bathroom remodeling project, then installing a shower curtain rod would be a fairly routine task. However, have you ever considered decorating with shower curtain rods in places other than the bathroom? If you are working to a strict budget, or you are simply looking for new and innovative ideas, the functional bathroom rod that usually holds up the shower curtain can be transformed into a stylish feature for any room.

Using shower curtain rods in the bedroom as part of your interior design scheme is becoming a popular choice. Curtains or draped material is perfect for hiding an ugly wall or cupboards with old or broken doors. If you buy a pressure rod, this will simply twist to the correct size to fit your room and enable you cover up that eyesore with some attractive cloth. This style of rod is not suitable for really heavy fabric, so if velvet is your thing you may look into installing a rod that has to be mounted securely in the wall.

An alternative location for shower curtain rods in the bedroom is above the bed. If you fix two rods over your bed you can hang a piece of sheer fabric between the two, letting it dip in the centre, and then flow down to the floor either at the back of the bed or to the sides. This forms a classic canopy for your bed, which can alter the whole look and feel of your bedroom.

Do you have shelves or a pantry area in your kitchen that just looks messy, no matter how often you tidy it? Why not curtain that off by installing a shower curtain rod and hanging some light, colorful drapes? To achieve a really professional effect, make sure you co-ordinate your curtain material with the other soft furnishings in your kitchen, or this will look out of place.

Your sunroom is designed to catch the sun and heat up, that is what it is there for! However, there are times when the sunroom can be just unbearable, and some way to shade the area is useful. If you install two pressure rods, one at either end of the overhead space, you can hang a piece of lightweight material between the two, offering not only a soft and stylish look to your room, but a little relief from the heat at the same time.

Of course, just because you can use them in other parts of the house, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get creative with the curtain rods in your bathroom. One new style shower curtain rod is an S shaped rod that allows you to install a shower fitting in an old fashioned stand alone bathtub. You can also buy rods that hang on chains and so give the appearance of floating over the bath. If you want to have a bit of fun with your shower, choose interesting patterns or colors, and try different ways to fix your curtain to the pole. Colorful clips and beads can take the place of dull plastic circles.

Basically, anywhere in the home that you want to hang material, you can do so with a shower curtain rod. These are much cheaper and just as effective as any other curtain pole, and with a little imagination can be used to give a stunning effect.
