Center the rod over tub's edge. For instance, if the arc of shower rod extends six inches out from where it otherwise would be (if it was straight), place the ends three inches inside the tub. That way, the shower rod and curtain will perfectly straddle the line marking the edge of the tub.

consider a rod that curves outward. A shower above a claw foot tub calls for a circular rod while a corner shower requires one that is L-shaped. Measure the area and then choose a rod of the correct size.

A curved shower rod can be an easy way to add a touch of luxury to bathroom while improving shower experience. The extra room in shower can make it much more comfortable to use, though it will sacrifice some bathroom space. Straight rods are still very popular though.

Blackout (fabric) Blackout refers to a foam-backed, opaque fabric used to black out light. Blackout fabrics are most commonly found in hotel rooms as curtain linings or drapery fabrics, blocking much of the light that would otherwise enter through a window when the curtains are closed.

Because the double rod separates the curtain and liner, there is more space between the two, so drying is more efficient, reducing mold and mildew. From a design point of view, the double rods can also help brighten things up by allowing to leave the decorative curtain open while bathing to bring in more light.

Measure the width of the entire space the curtain will fit over. This typically is the front section of the shower or bathtub. Measure in inches, then choose a rod that fits the opening. Keep in mind that standard shower curtains are 70 or 72 inches wide.
