You've got questions, we've got answers. Below are the answers to what we're asked most, from choosing a shower curtain size to hanging it. Still have more questions? Email us at hello@pepper-home.com, and our customer service team will assist you.
What size shower curtains do you offer?
We offer two standard widths and lengths, 72" and 84", as well as custom lengths up to 150".
What are the standard shower curtain sizes?
The sizes listed below are designed to fit most shower/tub combos.
Standard Shower: 72" x 72"
Extra Tall Shower: 72" x 84"
Extra Wide Shower: 84" x 72"
Extra Wide + Tall Shower: 84" x 84"
How do I choose the correct width?
Measure your shower from wall to wall and add 12". The added width allows the curtain to fall in soft folds when it's pulled closed, instead of stretching tightly across. For a standard 60" tub, select 72" for width. Our 84" width is made for wider tubs and showers. If you're unsure, select the option closest to your wall measurement +12”. Still have questions? See our Shower Curtain Size Guide.
How do I choose the correct length?
Measure from the rod to the floor and subtract 8–10". Subtracting the length accounts for the rings used to hang the panel, and keeps the hem clear of the floor. A 72" length is the standard for most showers and tubs. If your measurement is closer to 84" or taller, select one of our extended length options.
For a step-by-step walkthrough on measuring, see our Shower Curtain Size Guide.
Should I choose a lined or unlined shower curtain?
Selecting your lining comes down to light and weight preference.
- Unlined panels let light filter through the fabric. They're lighter, so they can hang on a tension rod.
- Lined panels have a privacy lining that blocks about 70% of light, and they drape more fully. They're heavier, so they need a rod mounted to the wall.
Our Lined vs. Unlined Shower Curtains guide compares the two side-by-side.
Do I need a plastic liner?
Yes. Every shower curtain needs a separate liner inside the tub to keep water off the fabric. Plastic liners aren't included with purchase. Select a liner that's the same size as your curtain, or an inch or two smaller. If you've selected an unlined shower curtain, we recommend a white opaque plastic liner, which helps the fabric pattern pop against the background.
Check out our Shower Curtain Hardware edit for liner suggestions.
How do I hang the shower curtain?
Shower curtains have a button-hole construction at the top to attach rings. A 72" panel has 12 button-holes, while an 84" panel has 14 button-holes. We suggest using roller rings like these to ensure the curtain slides easily along the rod when opening and closing.
What hardware is required to hang the panels?
You will need a shower curtain rod, rings, and a plastic liner to hang the panel. Check out our Shower Curtain Hardware edit for suggestions.
What rod should I use?
We recommend using a mounted rod for lined shower curtains, as tension rods cannot support the weight. Tension rods can be used for standard-sized unlined panels. Your rod size should match the distance from wall to wall. Most shower curtains are adjustable, which makes it easy to change the width if necessary.
How much does a shower curtain weigh?
Our shower curtains weigh between 4-6lbs. A standard 72x72 shower curtain weighs 4lbs. Adding trim or choosing a wider or longer curtain can add up to 2lbs.
Can I add trim to the panel?
Yes! You can add trim to the sides, bottom, or the sides + bottom.
Can I choose a fabric that isn't listed on the Shower Curtain page?
You can choose from any fabric in our assortment, except our Margot and Velvet fabrics. Email hello@pepper-home.com to place your order.
What's the lead time for custom shower curtains?
Shower curtains are made to order in the USA and ship in 2 weeks, unless the fabric is marked as pre-order. We ship via FedEx, and every order includes a tracking number.
How will my shower curtain ship?
We ship via FedEx, and all orders include a tracking number. A delivery signature is required for orders over $550, as this requirement greatly reduces the risk of lost or stolen packages. You may choose to waive this requirement at checkout.
Can I return my shower curtain?
As our shower curtains are custom-made to your specifications, they cannot be exchanged or returned.
How should I wash my shower curtain?
Have it professionally dry cleaned; don't wash it at home. The liner does the work of keeping it dry, so it should only need cleaning now and then.
