European Shower Curtains

Postcards, Domes and a Vintage Camera

European shower curtains take the form of a travel scrapbook here: pen-and-ink drawings of cathedral domes and old rooftops fill the background in sepia, a stack of aged postcards and a folded map sit across the middle, and a brown vintage camera rests at the bottom of the composition. Everything is held in one narrow range of beige, tan and faded brown, so the panel reads as a single warm surface rather than as a collage of separate images. The postcards are drawn with soft torn edges and a little foxing at the corners, which is what gives the panel its aged rather than merely sepia character.

A Warm Panel for a Room With Timber

It belongs in a bathroom with an oak floor, a rattan basket and warm brass, where the sepia has something to answer to, and it will look muddy in a cool grey room with chrome. One cream towel is enough; anything coloured breaks the palette. It sits among the beige shower curtains, and for the same warmth reduced to a single flat colour the Chocolate Brown Shower Curtain is the plain version. It also suits a bathroom with a single small window, since the warm palette does more with weak daylight than a cool print would.
