Sprucing up areas of your home can sometimes be difficult or expensive, such as when they require new hardware or involve renovations. Other times, however, they are as easy as adding in a new accessory. If you've been on the hunt for a way to add character to your bathroom, considering a cottage-core-style shower curtain from Amazon is a good place to start. 

Retailing for $19.99, the Blgiont Vintage Black Floral Shower Curtain offers an affordable price with significant style. The shower curtain is made to look like linen — ideal for individuals who value the natural aesthetic — although its actual material is a synthetic alternative that performs well in bathroom settings. The shower curtain measures 72 inches long by 72 inches wide and comes fitted with 12 clear hooks, which allow for a seamless setup of your new functional decor. The bottom of the shower curtain is embellished with tassels, lending a shabby chic or boho vibe to the piece.

At the time of writing, customers had given the product a 4-star average. Many reviews praise the beautiful design of the shower curtain, as well as its performance. One five-star review on Amazon states, "The material quality is top-notch. The fabric has a wonderful weight and drape to it, hanging elegantly without wrinkling easily or feeling cheap and plastic-like."

While this shower curtain can improve the vibe of your boring bathroom quite a bit, it might look a little out of place on its own. A good approach — budget-permitting — is to focus on swapping out boring basics for more interesting accessories. A good place to start is your bathroom trashcan, which could be traded for a water hyacinth bin with a waterproof liner — like this 3-Gallon Wicker Trash Can by Coeusy ($39.99 on Amazon). Other options that can work well with the curtain include a stoneware soap dispenser and a washable bathroom rug that complements the space. If you want to lean even more into the cottage core aesthetic, consider giving your bathroom a luxurious upgrade with a shower wall hook or tie-back, which will gather the shower curtain in a visually appealing way when it's not in use.

One final consideration before purchasing this shower curtain is that while the listing says it's water resistant, there are multiple reviews that state otherwise. One critical review on Amazon's website states "[I]f your shower head is facing the shower curtain the water will go right through it and you will have a puddle of water outside your shower curtain on the floor." Fortunately, there is an easy workaround for this: simply purchase a waterproof shower curtain liner to pair with the lovely floral curtain. If you want to prevent mold and mildew on your shower curtains, just trim the length so that it doesn't trap moisture between uses.
