Replace Your Old Shower Curtain Rod: The Amazon Find That's Better Fitted For Corners

You were convinced that a corner tub and shower would maximize your limited bathroom space, and it turns out you were right; it really does open things up. But while the corner might have seemed like a brilliant walk-in shower idea for your small bathroom, finding a shower enclosure you like has proven to be harder than you thought — at least, finding one that feels functional and actually looks good at the same time, that is.

If you're struggling to find a curtain rod to accommodate the angles of your corner tub or shower, you might want to consider the Mirooyu corner shower curtain rod on Amazon. Instead of a single rod going straight across, it's composed of three parts that fit together in a way that can mirror the corner angles of the shower or tub itself. Using this curtain rod with a nice, spa-inspired shower curtain is also a smart hack to bring an outdated corner shower to the modern era.

The Mirooyu rod comes with matching shower curtain hooks and a ceiling support cable that attaches to the center of the rod for extra support. It can hold up to 33 pounds, so there's no worry about your shower curtain being too heavy. And with an adjustable width of between 56.2 inches and 113.3 inches, it fits a wide range of corner showers. You will need a drill to install the base mounts to the wall at each end, but the rest of the required parts are included. While the gold rod looks fantastic, you can also choose from silver, black, or white.

Beyond simply reading the installation instructions, there are a few important things to note before you transform your corner shower space with your new Mirooyu corner curtain rod. First, you'll see that it comes with outer rods, two curved rods, and adjustable fixed rods in the center. One review notes that you'll need to use all three sections in order for the rod to work. This made it too long for that reviewer's shower, so be sure to measure your space and compare the length of the actual rod before purchasing.

Since this is an angled rod, it comes with a cable-style ceiling support, which is definitely needed to secure the entire rod in place. While most note this was no problem, a few reviews did mention the anchor pieces seemed a bit cheap. They opted to replace the parts and had no problem finding sturdier replacements elsewhere. The center cable support also requires you to use a split shower curtain, as it can't go all the way across the rod without getting caught on the cable. To prevent water from splashing out between the two sections, one reviewer glued a couple of magnets to each curtain to keep them closed in the middle. Another had their existing shower curtain cut and sewn in half to accommodate the cable.

Overall, users seem to like Mirooyu's curtain rod, earning it a 4-star average rating. Most reviewers also said the rod was fairly easy to install. However, a couple did point out that it would have been easier with two people. One in particular suggested that you lay everything out first and arrange things in order before installation to make the setup go more smoothly.
