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

This is pretty boring!

Notice the sleek look and where the standard rod would be.

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?!
