How to Make Your Own Bathroom Curtain Rod?

DIY bathroom curtain RodShower curtains in your bathroom make a huge statement. However, a curtain rod is also very important when it comes to hanging your shower curtains. While fixing a shower curtain rod, you have to consider factors like how it will complement the décor in your bathroom. The pattern and style in which a curtain is hung makes a similar difference, as does the color of the towels, rugs and bathmats.

Shower curtain rods put fixed to make your bathroom look more aesthetically and utilitarian pleasing. They are not only used to hang your curtains but you can also hand your damp towels to dry. Most shower rods are made of materials like wood, plastic and metal. Plastic rods can be available in varieties of colors. However, they are not as durable as metal rods. Chrome rods work well with the chrome lighting fixtures, towel bars and faucets, thus giving your bathroom a modern look.

The shape of a shower rod is also an important determining factor. If you are fixing a shower rod that has an outward curving, that will provide more room for you in the shower. A claw tub will require a circular rod. On the other hand, a shower standing in the corner will be L-shaped.
