Black and White Graphic Shower Curtain

A Silhouette That Behaves Like Frosted Glass

Hung closed, this black and white graphic shower curtain plays a trick: the panel is plain white except for the printed shadow of a woman with her arms raised and her palms pressed flat, as though standing behind translucent glass. The edges of the figure are softened and slightly diffused, the way a real silhouette blurs at distance from a screen, and the tone deepens where the hands and hair meet the surface. Nothing else appears on the panel. It is a single, deliberately theatrical image, and the white around it is left completely empty so the eye has nowhere else to go.

• One cut at 71 x 71 inches
• Woven polyester with a matte face
• Soft-edged black silhouette on white
• No border, text or secondary motif
• 12 silver-tone metal grommets
• 12 hanging hooks supplied
• Anti-stain and anti-mildew treatment
• Water-repellent; machine wash cool
• Opaque weave; the white does not backlight
• Twelve hooks thread onto a standard rod

Where a Figurative Panel Is and Is Not a Good Idea

This belongs in an adult bathroom, an ensuite or a bachelor flat rather than a shared family bath, and it needs to be seen closed and flat to work at all, which means a straight rod and enough width to hang without bunching. Keep everything else in the room plain white or black, because the image is the decoration. Hardware in matte black finishes the idea. It sits with our black and white shower curtains, and for the same restraint without a figure, the Charcoal Shower Curtain is the plain-panel answer. Between the two, one turns the shower into a stage and the other lets it disappear entirely, which is the whole decision.
