Best shower curtains of 2020 to brighten up your bathroom

Shower curtain shopping involves slightly more than buying a fun print - but not much.

Look out for machine washable styles as well as designs that are mould and mildew resistant to keep your curtain looking nicer for longer.

Weights in the hem keep the curtain draped properly and stop water splashing out, so they’re definitely a plus, as are a set of curtain hooks if you have a rail.

When it comes to print, nautical will always ride high on the wave of trends, but shower curtains can also be a cheap and cheerful way to add a splash of colour to your bathroom.

From vintage prints to bold statement looks, we’ve rounded up the best for you to shop right now.
