I have struggled with our shower and lack of space, so I ordered a Stromberg curtain rod with hopes that is would extend the curtain and make it bigger. We have a corner shower and it did not work unfortunately. So I looked into the regular cured ones and Bed Bath and Beyond and they will not fit the space. So I got creative one day and came up with a very inexpensive trick using shoelaces and safety pins- it may not look as nice as a extended rod, but there was not permanent mounting or drilling holes on my wall! I made a little video with the tip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXmK3f6ZiDY
