Get Creative — DIY Shower Rod Works Great with High Ceilings

Lindsay ~ 5 August 2008

Can’t find a shower rod that works well in your bathroom? What if you made your own?

Not everybody might get excited by this idea, but the folks over at Chronically Uncool (who may just be cooler than they think) made this puppy.

Crafted from a ceiling mounted curtain rod, it features chain extensions (secured by drapery clips) between the rod and its rings. The end result is that any rectangle of fabric can be used (no loops, grommets, rod pockets, etc. required) , not just dedicated shower curtains.

Considering what a challenge it can be to find a shower curtain you like, this system might not be such a bad idea. Also, it’s a clever solution for a bathroom with a high ceiling (it looks a little odd if your shower rod is several feet below the ceiling).
