How to Choose the Right Size Shower Curtain for Your Tub or Shower

A shower curtain does more than just keep water off the floor — it frames your entire bathroom. But choosing the wrong size can lead to awkward gaps, messy puddles, and a look that feels unfinished.

If you’re buying a new shower curtain for your hotel, Airbnb, guesthouse, or even for your home, this easy guide from DZEE Textiles will help you pick the correct size and type for your needs.

How to Measure the Right Size for a Shower Curtain

Shower Curtains

It’s simple — follow these quick steps:

  1. Measure the Width:
    Use a tape measure to check the distance from one wall to the other across your tub or shower rod.

Add 12 inches to this number. This extra fabric helps the curtain drape nicely and ensures complete coverage without gaps.

2. Measure the Height:
          Measure from your curtain rod down to the floor.

Subtract 8-10 inches from this length to keep the curtain from dragging on the floor while still providing good coverage.

If you’re using curtain rings, start your measurement from where the ring hooks onto the curtain.

Standard Shower Curtain Sizes

Here’s a simple size guide to help you pick:

Type Common Size (W x H) Where It’s Used
Standard Tubs 70″ x 70″, 70″ x 72″, 72″ x 72″ Most bathtubs in homes, hotels, Airbnbs
Shower Stalls/Walk-ins 54″ x 72″, 54″ x 78″ Compact showers, stalls
Tall Showers 72″ x 78″ For taller guests or extra splash protection
Clawfoot Tubs 180″ x 72″ Surrounds the entire tub
Freestanding Tubs Measure around tub + 12” width Custom fit needed

Can You Wash a Shower Curtain?

Shower Curtain

Yes — most fabric and vinyl curtains can be cleaned easily.

Here’s how:

  • Check the care label first.
  • If machine-washable, remove hooks and toss in the washer with a couple of clean towels (they help scrub off dirt).
  • Add mild detergent and half a cup of baking soda.
  • Wash on a warm, gentle cycle.
  • Air-dry by hanging it fully open.

Wash your curtains every 1-2 months in busy hotels or guest properties.

When Should You Replace a Shower Curtain?

A good-quality shower curtain should last at least a year with proper care. However, replace it sooner if:

  • It looks dull or stained
  • Mildew or mold stains don’t come out after washing
  • The material starts tearing or fraying
