“I love the idea of lifting a shower curtain pole towards the ceiling to create the illusion of more space in a bathroom,” he said.

“This is an excellent budget-friendly solution to make a small bathroom appear larger and more spa-like.

“Incorporating floor-to-ceiling shower curtains on each side of the pole will elevate the whole room by creating a wall of fabric that draws the eye upwards.

“For a really modern look, I would recommend using a neutral-toned shower curtain. Shades of white, beige, or grey are always a classic choice and can help create a calming and serene atmosphere in the bathroom.

“If you’re feeling daring, you can always choose a curtain with a subtle pattern or texture too.

“The key to making this design element work is to ensure that the shower curtains are hung at the same height and look to be flush against the wall to create a seamless appearance”.
