African American Shower Curtains

A Headwrap in Turquoise, Marigold and Coral

Colour is the whole argument here. Where most African American Shower Curtains use black and white portraiture, this panel puts a woman in profile against a rust-washed ground and gives her a wrapped headscarf in turquoise, marigold, coral and deep blue, painted in loose brush strokes. Layered beaded jewellery repeats the same tones down her shoulder, and the warm ochre background is scuffed like an old wall, which keeps the brights from looking synthetic. The brush strokes are left visible, so the wrap looks painted rather than photographed, and the edges of each colour block stay soft.

Building a Warm Room Around One Strong Colour

Pick one tone from the wrap and let the rest of the room follow it: rust for a terracotta floor and rattan basket, or turquoise if you already have green-blue tile and want the panel to look chosen rather than added. It sits comfortably in our boho shower curtains range, and for the same layered, hand-made feeling expressed through pattern rather than portraiture, the Boho Chic Shower Curtain is the natural companion. Hung in the same house they read as a set without repeating a single motif between them, which is usually the harder trick.
