The trademarks of classic minimalist bathroom design: clean lines, stark white, and simplicity. It's timeless, but let's be honest, it can be a bit boring. Merely adding a splash of color, unexpected playfulness, and intricate details can bring a smile to everyone who enters the space. And thankfully, refreshing your bathroom can be as easy as adding a stylish curtain that will amp up your bathroom's appeal. If you're looking for something that encompasses quirkiness, a funky style, and maximalist chic, the Accnicc Funny Octopus Shower Curtain is the perfect fit.

Until you see this shower curtain, you probably didn't know that you needed a bathing octopus in your life. Although the image is illustrated, the artistic style can cater to both children and adults. The scene, complete with a window and curtains in the background and tropical plants and floor tiles surrounding the tub, gives you the illusion that you're actually walking in on someone's — er, something's — private bath time.

This polyester curtain is available in three sizes: the standard 72-inch by 72-inch measurement, 72 inches by 78 inches for an extra-tall shower, and 72 inches by 84 inches if you need something even larger. Make sure you avoid one of the common shower curtain mistakes most people make, and measure your space before ordering. Setup is a cinch, as the product comes with 12 plastic hooks. Cleaning is easy; simply throw the curtain in the washing machine if needed. 

The curtain screams maximalism, but this trend that embraces an explosion of patterns, textures, and colors still requires some restraint. In fact, there are guidelines for what not to do when decorating with the maximalist decor style to prevent your space from feeling too chaotic. And given the curtain's visual overload, you may want to be more selective with the rest of your decor.

Use the curtain as your focal point and use elements of the octopus image to connect with other decor. Since the curtain features a large image and oversized patterns, go with smaller patterns elsewhere, for example, when choosing towels, a bath mat, and artwork. Select a few colors from the curtain to tie in with the rest of the room, either variants or exact shades. But don't forget the neutrals, which will keep the space from becoming too overwhelming.

Be careful not to fall into this bathroom decorating trend that will completely outdate your home. It may be easy to pick a theme from this curtain and center the rest of the decor around it — for example, sea animals, coastal vacation, or tropical plants — but if you're following the curtain's maximalist vibe, steer clear of a strong theme. Maximalism heavily emphasizes bringing in your personality, which could mean adding a mosaic vase from recent travels, layering strands of beads over the shower curtain for texture, or hanging up a silly photo of your cat, even if none of these relate to a bathing octopus.
