Selecting a shower curtain for your bathroom might pale in comparison to other household to-dos, but the protective barrier is actually pretty significant. It keeps water contained, adds privacy, and ties the whole look of the bathroom together. But it can become problematic when mold creeps in, or plastic shower curtains release toxins. You need something functional, safe, and, ideally, chic. An Art Deco-inspired shower curtain alternative is checking shoppers' boxes, literally and figuratively, thanks to its geometric design, safe manufacturing, and departure from the typical cloth lining.   

Quiet Town's Sun Shower Jazz curtain clocks in at 72 inches by 72 inches, and takes a cue from Art Deco's glass bricks, sporting a 3D-like grid of 4-inch by 4-inch boxes. It comes in three shades — air (clear), high (mint green), and warm (gold) — and the 100% EVA plastic will even give off a kaleidoscopic glow if positioned near a window. While it's intended to act as a shower curtain, it can also be used as a liner. Keep in mind, other offerings of the Sun Shower line include different colors, a non-grid pattern, and smaller 2-inch by 2-inch grids.

How to make this Art Deco-inspired shower curtain work

Reviewers tout Quiet Town for its unique color offerings. However, the curtain's biggest draw can also be its biggest obstacle depending on the natural light in your bathroom — or lack thereof. Customers report a difference in color between the product they received and that pictured on the website. If you have a certain hue in mind, consider snagging a Sun Shower swatch card to test it out before you buy it. The item is exchange only and clocks in at $55. 

The curtain is also praised for being durable and sporting PVC-free construction, plus the brand states its 12-gauge EVA helps prevent it from sticking to the shower. You can use a simple spray cleaner to target any buildup; however, the shower curtain comes with detailed instructions that suggest laying the piece flat and targeting grimy spots with a soft brush to keep it mildew-free. 

Should you want to pursue an Art Deco style for your bathroom, select a Sun Shower Jazz curtain with a grid and play up the geometric pattern. Pair it with a few fancy features such as a gold mirror, bold wallpaper, and marble accents. Keep things symmetrical, clean, and grandiose to drive the look home. When in doubt, remember glamour is the goal.
