Retro Christmas Lights Shower Curtain

About the Retro Christmas Lights Shower Curtain

Big old-fashioned bulbs in cherry red, cobalt, orange and green loop across this retro Christmas lights shower curtain, strung along a dark wire the way they once hung from porches and eaves. The chunky shapes and saturated colors carry a playful nostalgia, a reminder of tangled strands pulled out of the attic every December. Even before coffee, it puts a bit of holiday cheer into the most ordinary room in the house.

As vintage holiday string lights bathroom decor, it works especially well in guest baths that need a seasonal refresh without a full makeover. White or subway-tile bathrooms let the colors pop, and mid-century homes pick up on its retro spirit. Try red or forest green towels, a cream bath mat and a small brass tray. It makes a cheerful gift for the friend who decorates the day after Thanksgiving or anyone who collects vintage ornaments.

• Wrap a battery-powered strand of warm lights around the mirror to echo the bulbs in the print.
• Swap in candy-striped hand towels for December, then return to plain white in January.
• Fill a vintage glass jar with colorful ornaments and set it on the windowsill.
