Practical Bathroom Window Treatments

Even if your bathroom window is tiny, you want total privacy and zero draft. Bathroom window treatments are important to your comfort and your visual pleasure, but don’t forget about cleaning day: your blinds should not add more to this routine than is strictly necessary. Select a style that suits the type of bathroom you are decorating: there is something for every sort of space.

Small Bathrooms

Many homes have a small bathroom near the mud room, garage, or in the basement. It functions as the dirty place or a spare facility when guests are over. Kids coming home from soccer or baseball go here first, but they don’t necessarily shower here and mom does not use this as a place to relax with candles and soft music. As such, blinds can be simple roller shades made to be wiped clean easily and built for durability.

Luxurious Bathrooms

Main bathrooms with large windows pose a challenge. Humidity will be relatively high owing to all of the showers and baths taking place here. Privacy and energy efficiency matter a great deal when the windows are large. Ready made Roman blinds can be handy in this space if they are constructed from mold and mildew-resistant fibers or other materials, but often something made of aluminum, faux wood, or vinyl would stand up better to moisture. For softer touches, add removable sashes that can be washed.

Numerous slatted designs are available in all kinds of colors. Select roller, slatted, or faux wood blinds in patterns and hues which draw from elements like colored or wood cabinets, hardware, flooring, and tile features.

Materials for Bathroom Window Treatments

Humidity might not be an issue if you have a good fan system or sunlight streams in through the window regularly to burn away moisture and its results. Additional elements like a heating vent, underfloor heating, and heated towel rail take away a lot of the moisture that would carry up to the curtain or blind on your window. In this case, fabrics are perfectly fine for bathroom window treatments. Select panels, ready made Roman blinds, cellular blinds or honeycomb blinds in materials like cotton or linen. Use liners to filter light and increase privacy.
