The new year is finally here, and if you’re itching for a refresh to kick off your resolution list, there’s a quick bathroom update that you can tackle to make any space feel brand new. Instead of mapping out a costly, tiresome renovation, opt for something easier: A dramatic shower curtain that makes bathrooms feel high-end.
The creator behind the @araba.athome TikTok account shared the small updates she recently made to her bathroom, including a DIY valance hanging above double shower curtains. Her valance is actually one she made from an old curtain in her collection, which is why it matches her double shower curtains so perfectly. Unsurprisingly, people were obsessed.
“LOVE the valance,” one person commented on the video, to which the creator responded, “Thank you! It’s definitely growing on me!” Another person added, “My jaw just dropped.”
How to Copy This Shower Valance Look
You can easily re-create this look by picking up an inexpensive valance curtain from Amazon in either a matching or contrasting pattern or color to your existing curtains. To hang the valance in her bathroom, @araba.athome installed a second tension rod above her shower curtain rod to drape the valance curtain panel over the existing curtains. It’s so simple to do and offers another way to introduce luxe detail to one of the smallest spaces in your home.
There are many valance curtain options available online, so you can find the one that best matches your aesthetic. And pay attention to the measurements when you’re purchasing! You’ll want to make sure that the panel is as long as your shower opening to make it look bespoke. Like many other DIY upgrades, this project can help make your bathroom look and feel a bit more high-end — no demo or remodel necessary.
