How Low Should a Shower Curtain Hang?

Interested in figuring out the proper length for a shower curtain? Continue reading for some valuable insights on how to use curtains to enhance your bathroom’s aesthetic. What’s the ideal length for a shower curtain to hang?

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to know exactly how much space you have until you take measurements of the floor area, the ceiling height, and the wall spacing. Then you can calculate what you should use to hang the curtain.

To start off with, you need to measure the floor space in front of the toilet so that you can set the shower curtain that needs to go over it. Next, you need to measure the area between the bathtub and the toilet, which is called the “body framing”. This is used for most standard shower curtains.

Once you’ve taken the measurements of these three things, you can calculate how low a shower curtain can go before it will hang down too low. For the most part, this will be around two feet at the highest point.

If you find that the curtain that you’re going to use doesn’t cover your tub or toilet, then you need to put a curtain over them. If it hangs far enough up from the floor, then you won’t have to buy another curtain.

The only problem with this method is that the curtain will stick out past the top of the headboard, or the middle of the frame. You’ll need to add some extra time to it so that it will reach the top of the frame, or the top of the curtain will come up too high.

In this case, you need to either keep a curtain covering over the frame, or buy a bigger curtain that will reach the top of the frame. Of course, you could still decide that you don’t want a big curtain covering over the top of the frame. This way, you’ll still have the same effect as if you’d used a curtain covering over the top of the frame.

If you’re using a curtain with a curtain rod, then you’re almost done. You need to measure the height of the rod, and find the distance between it and the top of the frame. Then, just add about an inch onto that measurement.

How low should a curtain hang is very much a personal preference. I think you’ll be surprised by just how low I’m willing to go. And of course, there are plenty of people who choose to hang their curtains as high as four inches.

If you’re not interested in purchasing a bunch of extra curtains, then just hang your curtain to the top of the frame. If you’re using a fixed rod that doesn’t move much, then you’ll be fine.

Also, make sure that you have two different curtain lengths on hand. One curtain will be for when you just need to get the shower curtain off your hanger, and another curtain will be for when you want to remove the shower curtain completely.

Now, the next time you’re installing a shower curtain, you’ll have an idea on how low should a shower curtain hang. Not only will you have a good idea, but you’ll also be able to make sure that you have enough room in your bathroom for your new shower curtain.
