Summer has a way of shifting how we feel at home, bringing in more light, more air, more color. Your bathroom deserves to reflect that seasonal mood, too. And the easiest place to start? A beautiful new shower curtain. It is the most noticeable item in the room and can easily bring in more color and style.
In this article, we’ll show you five shower curtains designed by artists all across the globe, each one bringing a different summer feeling. Whether you like simple styles, bold colors, or fun patterns, you can (and will!) find a curtain that can make your bathroom feel special this season.
Why the Shower Curtain Is Your Secret Design Weapon
A shower curtain might seem like a small detail, but it can completely change how a bathroom feels. It covers a large area, almost like a wall, making it the biggest "canvas" in the room. This makes it the easiest way to add color, pattern, and personality without doing any major changes.
When you choose a curtain designed by an artist, it becomes more than just a useful item. It’s like hanging a piece of art that also has a function. This turns your bathroom from a plain, practical space into one that feels creative and carefully styled.
Top 5 Summer Shower Curtains to Refresh Your Bathroom
This summer, refresh your bathroom with vibrant summer shower curtains that bring fresh energy and artistic flair. Here's a curated showcase of 5 ZigZagZurich shower curtains, each designed to capture a distinct aesthetic and elevate your space:
1. "Made by Rain" by Aliki Van Der Kruijs
Summer invites a slower rhythm and a clear mind. Designed using real raindrops on dyed cotton, “Made by Rain” turns natural movement into a delicate pattern of navy and black. Each mark is unique, softening the fabric with a poetic, weather-made story. It brings a quiet, refreshing presence to your bathroom, like stepping into a still summer morning.
2. "Birds" by Karina Eibatova
Longer days call for a space that feels full of life. “Birds” is a tropical daydream, featuring hand-drawn parrots, cockatoos, and lush botanical elements in rich, layered detail. The deep tones and soft cotton fabric bring warmth and energy into your space. It transforms your bathroom into a wild, welcoming retreat.
3. "Forest" Dario Cortese
There’s something about summer that makes space feel sacred. “Forest” brings that clarity with layered shades of green that rise like abstract trees, blending structure with softness. Its clean lines and cool cotton surface offer a moment of calm. The result is a grounded, modern atmosphere that feels peaceful from morning to night.
4. "Vibes" by Yvonne Robert
Summer brings a lighter rhythm, and “Vibes” captures that mood perfectly. With its dreamy swirls of soft blue, bright pink, and lemon yellow, this curtain feels like sunlight, sea foam, and spontaneous joy all rolled into one. The soft cotton fabric adds to the relaxed energy, moving gently with the breeze and softening the space around it.
5. Panama Cotton Shower Curtain (White)
Sometimes, the most refreshing choice is the simplest one. The Panama Plain White shower curtain offers a clean, calming backdrop for the summer season: cool, quiet, and endlessly versatile. It's pure cotton fabric hangs with natural ease, creating a soft flow that brings lightness to your bathroom.
Complete the Look: The Finishing Touch for Your Bathroom
A beautiful shower curtain is a great start, but adding small details around it can make the whole bathroom feel complete. Try to think of your bathroom as one full picture, where each item adds to the overall look. A good tip is to pick a second color from your shower curtain and use it in other parts of the room.
Pro tip: To finish your bathroom update, match your towels with a second color from your shower curtain. For example, pair the deep greens in a bold print with clean white towels for contrast, or pick up soft coral shades with matching towels to create a warmer, more relaxed feel. It’s a quick way to pull the whole look together.
Why Choosing Quality Materials for Shower Curtains Matters
When choosing a shower curtain that stands out, quality matters just as much as design. A well-made curtain feels better, lasts longer, and keeps looking great. That’s why craftsmanship and materials are key. Curtains made from dense cotton or European linen not only hang beautifully, but also offer a soft, durable feel that holds up with everyday use.
Premium materials are just the beginning. Expert dyeing and printing methods create rich, lasting colors that won’t fade after a few washes. These details make sure that every artist-designed curtain keeps its bold look over time. It’s more than a simple bathroom update; it’s a long-lasting piece that brings both function and beauty into your space.
Start Every Day Behind Something Beautiful
Your bathroom is usually the place you start your day. It’s quiet, personal, and full of potential. A beautiful shower curtain does more than keep the water in. It can lift your mood, spark a sense of calm, or add a burst of energy. When something beautiful greets you each morning, even your routine can feel like a small ritual.
ZigZagZurich’s artist-designed shower curtains are made to do just that. Crafted in Europe from rich cottons and eco-conscious materials, they blend bold design with lasting quality. Each piece is a functional work of art that transforms your bathroom into a more intentional, expressive space.
