12. Luxe Velvet in Rich Jewel Tones

If you want to inject pure luxury and drama into your small bathroom, look no further than a velvet shower curtain. While it might seem unconventional for a wet environment, many modern polyester-velvet curtains are water-resistant and machine washable. The heavy, plush fabric drapes beautifully, instantly elevated by a rich jewel-tone palette like emerald green, sapphire blue, deep amethyst, or ruby red. The soft sheen of velvet catches the light, adding a layer of sophisticated glamour. To keep a small bathroom from feeling weighed down, pair a dark velvet curtain with bright overhead lighting, metallic gold accents, and a large, light-reflecting vanity mirror.
