One of the most popular retro designs is an angel motif. Usually, these shower curtains will feature “Garden of Eden” scenes or happy and playful cherubs. With the calming and peaceful designs of these shower curtains, it is sure to fit into your bathroom.
There are also great ideas for children. You can get one that features the funky 70’s blue bubbles.

Another design that’s perfect for children is using shower curtains with animal prints. Whether it features dolphins, zebras, polar bears, cats, or fish, it’s sure to be perfect for a children’s bathroom. These retro prints will provide the tub an innocent, playful and youthful feel. Another thing you can get for your children is a retro shower curtain that features an image of a cartoon character that was famous back in the 50’s or 60’s. It could be a Wonder Woman shower curtain or a Batman and Robin one.
If you’re feeling patriotic, you can get flag designs. You can choose the American stars and stripes, the British Union Jack, St. George Cross, or etc. If you want a cool 80s motif, you can find a Japanese rising sun that will make a great retro shower curtain.
Shower curtains can also reflect a “vacation” feel. To achieve this, you can get a retro shower curtain that features aquatic scenes. You can choose one that has motifs of starfish, beach shells, crabs, penguins or lighthouse scenes. These will really give your bathroom a seascape and aquatic atmosphere. So it’s almost like having a vacation every time you go to your own bathroom!
This is also a very good idea for gifts. If you want to give someone an unusual and unique gift, then this is something you should consider. This is especially the case when the recipient is a lover of everything retro. It’s a very original and thoughtful gift.
Having a retro shower curtain will really add life to any bathroom. So whatever design and pattern you want for your shower curtain, it will certainly provide a nostalgic and colorful atmosphere. Having a retro shower curtain is no longer a thing of the past! Retro shower curtains are a good way to spice up the look of your bathroom in a playful and vibrant way.
