Stylish and beautiful, but impractical and inconvenient: a common mistake when decorating a bathroom

In recent years, such a design solution as installing a glass curtain in the bathroom has become popular.

At first glance, this device is much better than regular curtains.

The main advantage is its stylish appearance: a glass partition looks more interesting than a polyester product.

But before deciding to install a glass curtain in the bathroom, you need to learn about the disadvantages of this interior detail.

But there are plenty of shortcomings, emphasized Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of design and interior design for the online publication BelNovosti.

The first drawback

Limescale inevitably appears on glass curtains. And it happens very quickly: the surface instantly loses its cleanliness, transparency and shine.

Therefore, the apartment residents will have to wipe the partition very often.

If you don't do this, the dirt in your bathroom will immediately become obvious.

But this is not the worst consequence. If you do not wipe the glass in time, fungus and mold may appear.

The second disadvantage

A glass partition does not always cover the bathtub completely.

As a result, dirty water gets on the floor, walls, mirrors and other surfaces.

A regular curtain protects the room from splashes much better.

The third disadvantage

Installing a glass curtain is a difficult task. The owner of the apartment is unlikely to cope with it on his own.

Most likely, you will have to seek help from professionals. In the end, you will have to spend more money. And the design move is already quite expensive.
