Aqua and Grey Shower Curtain

A Tortoise in a Rain Cap, Shot in Blue Grey

The aqua and grey shower curtain is built around a single photographic gag: a tortoise wearing a blue rain cap, walking through a shallow puddle while rain streaks the background. The palette is tightly held, denim blue and wet grey with a little brown in the shell, so the humour lands without the panel turning into a cartoon. Everything above the animal is out-of-focus rainfall, which gives the top half a soft, almost textile look. The animal is photographed at ground level, so you look across the puddle at it rather than down at it, and the shell fills the middle of the panel.

One Joke That Survives a Serious Bathroom

Because the blues are muted rather than bright, it survives in a bathroom with grey floor tile and chrome fittings where a primary-coloured print would look childish, and it is an easy way to give a shared family bathroom one piece of personality. A single grey bath mat is enough; skip the matching set. It is grouped with the grey shower curtains, and for a bird print with the same soft-focus treatment try the Bird Design Shower Curtain. It is also the rare print that works with an existing grey bath mat and grey towels, since the whole image is built from the same family of tones.
