8 fabric shower curtains your bathroom desperately needs

The anxious among us typically obsess over the fabric quality of our most-used items. We want our bed sheets to be the highest thread count and our towels to be made of the softest, most absorbent cotton. We rarely, however, give this kind of attention to our shower curtains—which is totally unfair considering that they’re the staple of our bathroom décor and they’re used every day (sometimes even twice). It turns out that the fabric quality for these is extra important, because many of those plastic shower curtains are made with bad-for-you carcinogens like phthalates.

Luckily, fabric shower curtains are not only healthier, they’re way more chic. Brands that focus on quality materials are getting into the curtain-game, giving us tons of bold options with fun elements like fringe, patterns, and soft-as-a-pillow cottons. Here, eight of our favorites that’ll make your bathroom instantly more stylish.
