They are supposed to just be fulfilling practical purposes like providing privacy and ensuring that there are no splashes on the floor. The bathroom is a place we can escape to when we feel exhausted and stressed out and come out feeling rejuvenated and relaxed after a refreshing shower. The atmosphere created in this area of the house, thus becomes all the more important.
The environment of your bathroom must be in accordance with your tastes and mood and the right kind of shower curtains achieve ninety percent of this need.

Pale ones provide a soothing effect and curtains with elements of nature never fail to inspire.

If it is your kids’ bathroom, it is best to consult them while taking a decision. Kids who are very young can learn a lot from shower curtains with alphabets, numbers or names of different flowers or animals etc inscribed on them. Bath time can become a time for learning as well in this case.
