Best Bathroom Window Treatments

Best Bathroom Window Treatments

We sometimes ignore bathroom windows because we often see them as functional parts of the room rather than design elements, like tiles or flooring. It can be difficult to see them as an important part of the space, and also difficult to then choose the right window treatment. And that's why we're here to help you choose the best bathroom window treatments for your home.

How to Choose Window Treatments for Your Bathroom

Before getting into the types of bathroom window treatments to choose from, there are some important considerations you should keep in mind that will help influence your decision.

 

Bathroom Window Coverings for Privacy

Privacy is the most important consideration. Window treatments are more than just a dressing for your home. They need to pull double duty of adding the beauty of natural light to a space and providing privacy—especially in the bathroom.

 

Moisture Resistant Bathroom Window Treatments

Since bathrooms are often the most humid rooms in the home because of the moisture from showers and bathtubs, window treatments must be easy to clean ad able to withstand high humidity without warping or staining.

 

Bathroom Window Treatment Ideas

Of course, aside from all practicality, you also want your bathroom window coverings to tie the room together. For inspiration in creating the ideal, spa-like retreat in your home, check out our recommendations for the best bathroom window treatment styles.

 

Faux Wood Bathroom Shutters

In recent years, faux wood shutters have gained popularity with consumers as one of the best bathroom window treatment ideas. Shutters constructed from lightweight yet durable materials, like vinyl, can provide the timeless beauty and look of traditional wood shutters, but with some distinct advantages.

Wood shutters can warp and crack if exposed to high levels of moisture, making them not the ideal choice for bathrooms. The advantage of faux shutters in the bathroom is their nonporous material, which will resist moisture, mold and mildew. They also can be wiped clean easily with a damp cloth and soap.

 

The Best Blinds for the Bathroom Are Faux Wood

Like faux shutters, faux wood blinds are one of the top bathroom window treatments because they are so versatile, giving you the elegance of real wood blinds while resisting high moisture areas in the bathroom because faux wood window treatments will not warp, crack or mildew.

Faux wood blinds won't hassle you when it's time to clean and the classic, traditional look complements the pristine quality of this space. If you are still yearning for a pop of color, try adding decorative cloth drapes to match your bathroom's mood.

 

Roman Shades in the Bathroom

Vignette Roman Shades 

Roman shades offer all that you expect from bathroom window treatments as they are functional, efficient, and create a beautiful statement. Roman shades allow you to control the natural light and make your bathroom spaces elegant and classy by adding softness to those hard surfaces of your bathroom. Color and pattern options are endless, so choose a style and fabric that help complement the tones of your bathroom.

Don't forget the most important factor when choosing fabrics for a high moisture and heavy traffic area like the bathroom is water-resistance. So, make sure you select Roman shades with a bathroom window treatment fabric that is resistant to moisture and mildew, and that can easily be spot cleaned.

 

Sheers Lend Privacy to the Bathroom

Luminette® Privacy Sheers | Hunter Douglas
The sheer fabric facing of sheers will tie the look of your bathroom together, while soft, vertical rotating vanes affixed to the back of the window treatment make them highly functional for a private space. Privacy sheers are an ideal choice for creating a balance of light and privacy in your bathroom.

With the vanes rotated open, the sheer fabric diffuses sunlight throughout your bathroom, creating a serene space with warm natural light. For ultimate privacy, simply close the vanes of the sheers to enjoy the privacy of your bathroom without sacrificing a natural light source. Privacy sheers are a great choice for larger bathroom windows that require more coverage.

 

Bathroom Roller Shades

Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades

Roller shades are perfect for bathrooms for their transparency options, ease of use, and moisture resistance. Roller shades can be lifted easily during the day to let light in if needed, and can also be motorized for raising and lowering at the push of a button. When raised, roller shades have a slim profile and practically disappear into the top of the window frame. Roller shades are also resistant to wet conditions.

For bathrooms with a view, light filtering bathroom window treatments like roller shades preserve the effect while offering a moderate degree of privacy. Dark and opaque fabric colors can darken the bathroom, while light colors allow a little more sunlight. Blackout roller shades can also be an ideal choice for bathrooms, as the dense fabric of blackout roller shades stands up well in bathrooms.

 

So, when choosing the right window treatments for your bathroom, it's important to take the time to pick an option that will hold up in a humid environment, complement your style and also provide the perfect balance between lighting and privacy.
