Choosing Bathroom Window Treatments

When choosing window treatments for a bathroom it is most important to consider the bathroom's environment, privacy needed, and theme. When considering the environment you must remember that bathrooms can be humid and filled with moisture. Explore synthetic fabric options that won't mildew. Ventilation is another significant environmental factor that is important in a bathroom. Make sure your window treatment(s) doesn't interfere with the operation of a window or cover any floor/ceiling vents that could block airflow. Privacy is also a vital consideration in bathroom window treatment selections. When bathroom windows face the street or a nearby neighbor, light controlling blinds and shades or lined panels work well. Layered sheers provide great natural light but often have limited privacy at night. Thirdly, keep your treatments style & theme appropriate For a crisp, clean, spa-like fell shoose simple, horizontal blinds/shade or a drapery panel. For an more elaborate or luxurious feel choose a layered look, panels paired with attractive top treatments. Side panels and swags are more traditional and can easily complement other accents in your bathroom such as your shower curtain or towels. Smaller bathrooms tend to look larger with simple window treatments in lighter colors. Larger bathrooms are a better fit for more elaborate options because the space isn't as easily overpowered.
