Shower curtain or shower doors?  email this discussion to a friend?

My sister just bought a new house and is taking down the shower curtains and putting up doors. There are many good things about the doors but I find for me I prefer curtains....first I can change the decor every years if I want...second when they get crappy looking I can just toss them...where doors sometimes get tacky because of hard water or soap build up. So which do you prefer in your home? Shower curtains or doors?

Ours have to be shower curtains since the bathtubs and showers are all in one in both bathrooms. I would prefer the tub be seperate and have a shower with glass doors.

We have both in our apartment, separate shower with door in the master bathroom and shower curtain in the other. I prefer shower curtains as you can toss them in the washing machine for a clean and replace them whenever they get tacky. It's a pain in the butt cleaning the shower doors LOL

That's what I don't understand! LOL...in her other house she complained about having to try to keep the door clean and free from soap scum etc! LOL...I do like changing things too so I am all for shower curtains.

Ya know, jillhill, this is a tough one! I actually have a curtain in our master bath and doors in the other bath. I think I gotta go with the doors. We are getting ready to remodel the "other bath" first, and then our master bath. We will probably end up with doors in both. Of course, they have those nice clear, doors now that "swing" open instead of slide. I think I want those!

I have only had shower curtains. But if I were to design my idea bathroom, I would have shower doors. I would try one of those automatic shower cleaners.


myLot reputation of 100/100. jillhill (17704)   ranked 1 out of 117 in decorating  4 years ago

Now that a great idea....my sister always complained about cleaning them so I was having a hard time understanding why she wanted to have them again!


myLot reputation of 97/100. babystar1 (3253)  4 years ago

just to let you no the automatic shower cleaners dont work

I prefer curtains as it is easier to clean the tub. And also like you said I can change them often.

Me too....that would be my preference!

I do not like shower doors at all. I used to have the door and it got where it was so hard to clean. I now have shower curtain and love it.No more doors for me.

That's exactly how I feel!

We have a shower door in one bathroom and a shower curtain in another. I prefer the shower door. It looks nicer in my opinion and is not that difficult to keep clean. Don't have any problems either with water seeping out around the door as it sometimes does with a curtain. Plus the bathroom with the curtain is a tub which means I have to step up to get into the shower. I would prefer to be closer to the ground just as a precaution. Our tub also gets slick at times and is probably due to shampoo buildup.


myLot reputation of 100/100. jillhill (17704)   ranked 1 out of 117 in decorating  4 years ago

It's a good thing we have so many choices so that we can all have whatever we want isn't it? LOL

I agree. Choices is a good thing.

Hi Jill, I haven't a shower at present but in the past when I have had one unless it has been a separate cubicle I had always preferred curtains for the exact reason you state really. I don't think I would have so much of a problem where I am living now as the water is very soft with a door but a curtain is easier. Ellie :D


myLot reputation of 100/100. jillhill (17704)   ranked 1 out of 117 in decorating  4 years ago

Yes....I guess I like change too much! LOL...love doing the decorating thing!
