Can Bathroom Remodeling Actually Be Fun? By John Ca. Baker At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Are you someone who likes to be creative with your interior design projects? Well, something that you may have never considered using beyond the bathroom are shower curtain rods for your decorating ideas. You can use the same rods that keep your bathroom dry during a shower to create beautiful decorative poles all over the house.

Even though you can buy a rod for a couple of bucks, or maybe even a buck at the dollar store doesn’t mean that they can’t look like a million bucks when used creatively. How great is it that a college student with no cash can still create a fabulous look in the dorm on the cheap, as well as be able to impress his or her classmates.

If you’re looking to hide a not-so-pretty wall or closet space in the bedroom, then look no further than the shower curtain rod as your savior. The best bet would likely be the pressure style rod, which you just twist out to the size you need and it will be easily held in place by the pressure. Just be careful with the weight of the drapery that you use with this style, as it usually doesn’t hold a lot of weight. For example velvet would not work without a rod that screws into the wall.

In the bedroom there’s another idea to consider beyond closets. How about a nice soft headboard or canopy over the bed? Simply suspend a couple of rods from the ceiling and hang across and down a nice sheer fabric with a simple little dip in the center. As for the headboard, you could, just let some fabric hang down at the head of the bed to cover the headboard.

If you have a pantry in the kitchen that you’d rather not be seen at all times then using a shower curtain rod and some kitchen type fabric will work wonders here. If you have the classic kitchen style café curtains then you can easily coordinate the materials as well.

Do you have a sunroom that’s not properly vented and just gets too hot?

If you get a pressure type rod and at both ends of the overhead window slip through a fabric that’s been stitched to have a pocket, you can then pull the fabric taught or leave it loose if you like, but either way you now have a fabric there that’s going to dimmed the sunlight as it makes it way into your sunroom from the outside. Now the room’s temperature can be much more easily controlled.

Bathroom remodeling doesn’t have to be a boring old mundane project anymore. You can now purchase an “s” shaped rod that will give you old claw footed tub a way to have a shower head and spray nozzle. If you want to go even a little more out of the ordinary then using a suspended rod that hangs from the ceiling by chains is a great option for you. You can have some extra fun by using different materials for hanging the shower curtain itself, rather than the plain old store bought plastic rings that you usually see.

If you use your imagination and continue to be creative you can no doubt think of endless ideas for using shower curtains in your home.
