The bathroom is a conveniently small space to experiment with a big statement of color. If painting the walls or replacing fixtures seems like too much of a commitment, a great place to start is the shower curtain. Typically cheap, easy to replace and with tons of options, a shower curtain can make all the difference in the bathroom. For inspiration, here are some of this season's bold and bright designs:
Silkkikuikka Red Shower Curtain by Marimekko

Crate and Barrel, $59.95
Marimekko is a Finnish company whose fashion designs were made famous by the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy and "Sex and the City" it-girl Carrie Bradshaw. This curtain is 100-percent cotton and easily becomes the focal point of any bathroom.
Essential Home Sunny Daisy Shower Curtain

Kmart, $12.99
Clear shower curtains might seem kiddish, but this bright daisy design adds a playful feel to the bathroom without delving into rubber ducky territory. The complementary colors of the flowers carry a built-in color scheme for this 100-percent vinyl PEVA product.
Utility Shower Curtain

Wintercheck Factory, $40.00
With self-draining storage pouches and razor and toothbrush loops, this shower curtain is a great design choice because it keeps the shower clutter-free. It's shown in sky blue but is available in four other colors and made of 100-percent nylon.

A bold design choice doesn't need color to become a strong statement. This curtain can be paired with any color to emphasize the contrast between black and white and give the bathroom a vibrant, high-class feel.
