For example, look for shower curtain rings fitted with ball bearings.

This mechanism allows you to glide your curtain back and forth easily, and with less noise.

Bonus: the liner side gives you a few extra spots to hang your shower accessories on.

Invest in an Extra Long Curtain

Standard shower curtains fall at 72 inches x 72 inches.

Also, consider the height of your shower rod, especially if you plan onmounting it higherfor visual effect.

But choose a poor-quality liner and you risk needing double replacements and getting stuck with a low-end look.

Maintain your shower liner (and curtain) by following each textile’s care instructions.

A clean curtain-liner duo itself will make your space feel more luxe and fresh.
