Shower Curtains

The European Linen Shower Curtain is 72" × 72", which is the standard size for both walk-in showers and standard tubs in U.S. bathrooms. Most ceilings in homes built in the last 50 years work with a 72" drop without pooling on the floor. For taller ceilings or extra-long custom rods, you may want to layer in a longer liner behind it — the curtain itself isn't intended to be hung floor-to-ceiling.

The shower curtain isn't meant to be the waterproof layer — that's the liner's job. The linen panel hangs on the outside of the shower as the decorative and privacy layer, while a plastic or PEVA liner inside the tub handles the water. Linen is naturally breathable, so it dries quickly after a steamy shower and doesn't trap moisture the way a synthetic outer curtain does. It's a more practical choice for bathroom fabric than it sounds at first.

Yes — a liner is recommended. The 100% flax linen panel is built as the outer, decorative layer; pair it with a standard 72" × 72" waterproof liner hung between the curtain and the water. The curtain has 12 stitched button holes along the top hem, so it works with standard shower curtain hooks or rings, with the liner hooked behind it on the same rod.

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the weave and the pre-washed soft hand. Soak in lukewarm water for 15–30 minutes with a neutral detergent, gently rinse, and hang to dry in a shaded, ventilated spot — direct sun and high heat shorten the life of linen. Avoid bleach. With the liner taking the daily water exposure, the linen curtain itself only needs occasional cleaning, which is part of why this construction works long-term.

Linen softens with each wash — that's a feature of the fiber, not wear. The curtain is garment-washed before it ships, so it arrives already broken in rather than crisp and stiff. Expect the drape to become more relaxed over the first few months. Mild creasing across the panel is part of the look; the curtain isn't meant to read as ironed.

Free returns for 365 days from order date. If the size, color, or drape doesn't work once it's hung in your bathroom, you can send it back at no cost within the year — long enough to cover a full season of use before deciding.
