Would this look dumb? It would, right?

We're going to be giving the master bathroom a facelift.

It has a separate tub and shower. 

Would it look dumb if I added a shower curtain in front of the tub? This isn't our tub but it looks like this:

I don't know why I think this would be a good idea.

It costs $13 dollars to see if it is a good idea - get a plastic liner and a tension rod and see.

I would be in favor of in more if you were going to leave bathing things in the tub rather than carry them over for a bath and put them back or if the bathroom were "public"

I don't think it would be half bad actually. I wish I had the space to do mine actually, but mine is in a corner and it would take like 3 curved rods and 4 curtains. I don't have the energy for that.

The only reason I think it would look odd is because you have a seperate shower. How far away are they from each other?

If the curtain will remain closed, the bathroom would look like you have two showers. NMS.  I liked what they did at the resort DH and I stayed for our HM.  One of the tubs had high end looking curtains but were kept open.  Like the curtains framed the tub.  Not sure if that would look ok..

Could you do a folding divider instead?

Why would you want to put a curtain in front of the tub?  We have a separate tub and shower and it never occurred to me to cover it...it's not like water is splashing out when you take a bath or anything...

Why would you want one?

Is there a curtain around the shower, or a glass enclosure or something else?

If you want to screen the tub from view, I would go with something a little nontraditional, like a panel curtain or rattan shade or something:

I think it could actually be kind of nice. Fabric always softens a space and gives a nice finished look.  I think two panels would be better than one though.

I think the panels would work if it was contemporary decor, but might look strange depending on the type of shower enclosure.

I think the idea of curtains to frame the tub is a good one. I don't think I like the idea of a full-on shower curtain covering the tub though.

yes, I like this idea.  could look pretty and you can always close them if you need to for some reason

This explains my idea more clearly than I did. This is the type of look I'd be going for. The tub and shower are on opposite ends of the bathroom; the cabinet and toilet are between them. The shower is a glass door enclosure.

I love the idea of curtains on either side. Like this:

Ooooh, love this one:
