8 Best Shower Curtains 2023 | UK Interior Designer Reviewed

Perhaps it's something primitive in us, but when it comes to decorating, we often make connections between our bathrooms and the ocean, with many people opting for a beach or marine-themed décor. This curtain, decorated with blue and yellow fish, is sure to fit that bill.

Plus, the amazing thing is that, because this shower curtain is made from recycled polyester, you're actually contributing towards helping keep our oceans clean. It strikes the perfect balance between novel and traditional and has sufficient practical features. Hence, it's our number one pick.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that there's only one way to hang a shower curtain – after all, those plastic loops are so abundant! The alternative is with a 'hookless' shower curtain that instead slides straight onto a supporting pole.

The distinction might be subtle, but to some, it makes all the difference. Actually, we're rather fond of it, and we think it looks much tidier than the traditional plastic hoops. The cling-resistant weighted hem will ensure it hangs beautifully, too. 

Asked to consider an item that best symbolises the bathroom, most people would undoubtedly think of the humble rubber duck. Hardly surprising, as they've graced children's bath times for nearly a hundred years! All of this goes to say that there's nothing better to decorate your shower curtain with.

Offering the perfect blend of traditionalism and light-hearted humour, this curtain would fit well in family bathrooms or could even be used as a waterproof liner if it's not opaque enough for your needs. It's made from 100% PEVA, and it's incredibly cheap too, so you really have no excuse!

There's no doubt that yellow is one of the happiest colours there is, and studies suggest that the smell of citrus fruits can make us feel energised. This quirky lemon-covered shower curtain, then – while not smelling of citrus – is undoubtedly one of the jolliest there is.

Despite being affordable, this curtain has all the desirable practical features, and it'll last a while too, with a double-sided, waterproof design for durability (and perhaps privacy!). Whether your bathroom is contemporary or classic, this sunny colour scheme is sure to cheer you up in the morning!

If you need an extra long shower curtain, you may find yourself struggling to find an adequate solution. No longer is that the case, as this option from John Lewis, stretching nearly two metres in length, is sure to do the trick.

Unlike standard shower curtains, it'll wrap around a freestanding bath with ease. While the plain white design perhaps isn't anything to shout about, there's no doubt that it'll fit well in most bathrooms, especially those going for a minimalist vibe. 

For the particularly design-conscious among us, a shower curtain that complements the rest of your décor is something to be sought after. If your bathroom utilises a blue and white colour scheme, then this mosaic-print accessory will provide the perfect partner.

Aside from its colour scheme, this shower curtain also features a unique design, with an assortment of cascading shapes that fall from the top and gather at the bottom. It's a fresh, lively option and, at such a low price, it's definitely worth considering. The only downside is that it isn't made from eco-friendly materials.

Giving new meaning to the idea of 'baring at all', this shower curtain gives the illusion of a friendly bear taking a wash behind it. It is sure to put a smile on your face every morning as you prepare for a busy day.

As well as being mould-resistant, this polyester curtain is washable, weighted at the bottom and comes ready to hang with twelve hooks to slot through its rust-resistant eyelets. The novelty design won't be for everyone, but if you're someone with a sense of humour, this may be the ideal shower curtain for you. 

Let's be honest, shopping for shower curtains doesn't tend to be fun, and most of them are pretty dull. If, however, you want a shower curtain that veers from the traditional plain white, you'll love this one, which features. pretty much every colour under the rainbow! 

Better still, it's made entirely from recycled polyester – the equivalent of four plastic bottles – meaning you can shower with a clear conscience as you enjoy the bright array of colours. Again, it is not mould-resistant, but it is machine washable, which is always a plus.
