Anyone who has stayed in a semi-decent hotel in the last 5 years understands the title of this post. If you haven’t, then treat your family to a nice vacation . . . and SOON!
I’m a high school math teacher, so forgive me for my technicalities here, but upon investigating the space for actual showering in a typical shower with a standard straight rod vs. showering in a shower with a funky, unique, and cool curved shower curtain rod I found some undeniable facts.
1. Aesthetics alone cause the curved rods to win . . . a small but powerful modern touch to any bathroom
2. Space . . . of the standard space given to shower, the curved shower curtain rod will typically add another 15-20% of volume to the space for your upper torso to move around . . . so for instance, if your shower normally has 50 cubic feet of space to move around in, a curved rod would add as much as 10 cubic feet of space for showering (for reference, 10 cubic feet is the amount of space inside many refrigerator/freezers)
3. Bothersome curtain billowing in on the shower? No more with the curved shower curtain rod . . . keeps the liner where it should be always
Those reasons alone make choosing a curved shower curtain rod easy. So go buy a curved rod today and make your showering experience roomier than ever before, and why not add a unique shower curtain to go with your new rod?!
