lets see a pic of the shower curtain you mentioned?

and it would be way more helpful if you post a pic of the bathroom. (or at least pictures of the elements you're trying to explain)

a wood vanity could be light oak, or dark espresso. a white top could be something w/gray in it, or cultured marble. light brown rug,,,,,? what about the shower? is there tile?

you get what I'm saying?

here's a similar dark wall color with a light brown patterned rug. do you have a window? is the layout lke this?

however, off the bat I would go neutral w/some texture

Or, bring in something w/some color.

(again, without seeing the actual bathroom, it's like throwing darts )

Is there a reason for the paint color? This is the shower curtain?

What are you going for? What ?? to all the questions Beth asked: )

Feels like a conflict as is. You want a deep, rich elegant space or a breezy tropical space? What's the floor. the shower tile etc??

Not really loving this, and not with a "light brown " rug

Yes the colors "go" but the feeling is two different things. UNLESS you've a ton of white in there: )

The wall color seems to suggest more..this

Need Advice Walk in Shower - No Door

My doorless shower is about 5ft long and does not splatter, but at 4.5 it might. My other "door" shower is 4'2", and usually has a little water on the door. I'll see what happens if I am careful and angle the shower more vertically. In general, I would recommend that you get a vertical angle from your shower head and no body sprays. Might want a higher threshold also. Even with all this, I suspect you will still get a little water outside the shower. But I hear you, not having a door is pretty great. Oh, it will be cooler in the shower without the door.

I saw white and it seemed too hospital-ish. I thought about adding that man-made moulding to hide it, but realized it would just bring more attention to the ceiling. I like the way the aluminum looks in your bathroom, a lot. My dream was to have a doorless shower but with no budget to move plumbing and a 40ish x 40ish area, that wasn't going to happen. Now it sort of can! DH handy-hahahaha! I might be making at least part of our vanity (what's up with those prices?), if that tells you anything. We're hiring someone, yet to be determined, and will look into recessing it - that would be perfect.

Need advice re shower curtain rod -- type, placement, source, et
Q

Bear in mind that online reviews usually number a handful, so it's hard to determine quality based on reviews. Faucetdirect.com has lots of rods. Brass rods are the most expensive. I bought stainless steel. The Kohler rods would have been my first choice, but my shower is 58", and theirs and many others start at 60". I had to buy Moen and it does look nice. We have good ventilation so I don't think rust will be a problem. Location: Once you have the rod and shower curtain, you'll figure it out pretty quickly. Most shower curtains are 70-72" long. Leaking: Curved rods won't prevent it. I bought a shower curtain liner at BB&B that has suction cups along the sides. Shower curtains: JC Penney, Macy's, Kohl's, BB&B, Pottery Barn, Croscill.com, Overstock.com, etc. I've looked at hundreds and haven't found what I'm looking for. Most look pretty chintzy imo.

On the subject of two curtains...unless you mean to draw them back in both directions, which would expose the liner, (unless you used two of those as well, and left the whole business open), I would combine the two curtains in the traditional way...which means, you cut the second one in half, and sew the two halves to the two sides of the first one. Otherwise, you have either a seam or two side hems running down the middle of the whole business. That means undoing the top and bottom hems, at least far enough back to re-sew them in a continuous hem once the pieces are joined all the way along. Any good seamstress should understand that if you decided to have it done.
