While doing some market research this morning, I came across this designers’ work and it seems to be just the type of “unique” that we look for here at My Unique Shower Curtains.

You see, not only are his screen-printed plastic shower curtains unlike anything we’ve ever seen, they have function in mind as well.

“His lines are clear and the geometry is very simple. He uses less and less material which makes the work easier to produce and has a longer life. Jan is involved not just in form but also in the refining of manufacturing and the optimization of production. Habraken’s functionalist approach stems from his socially conscious viewpoint. His work has a reputation for quality, precision and practicality that has come to be what is expected from Dutch design.”

– an excerpt taken from one of our favorite manufacturers, Kikkerland.

The themes seem to  be simple but movie, and or novel related and the modern design seem to break free from the ordinary ho-hum shower curtains we are used to seeing.

Take a look for a few examples:

We love these shower curtains, we hope you do too!

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about ‘how not to clean‘ your plastic shower curtain becuase I ruined mine and wanted to spare our readers from making the same mistake I did.  This week, I am sharing some ideas on what to do with that ruined shower curtain or others you may have lying around.

A step by step tutorial on transforming a plastic shower curtain into a rain poncho is found on ThreadBangers Blog. Here is a photo of the finished result:

Also, I saw this upcycled tarp into a dress.  This would be cool with a vinyl shower curtain as well.

Another idea is to find old waste products that you could upcycle into a shower curtain.  For example, I found a Caution Tape shower curtain on Etsy.

Just as long as you have enough material and it is plastic, you could make very unique shower curtains with just about anything!

The sky is the limit!
