Window Treatments for Bathroom
Bathroom window treatments are as important as it flooring and tiles. Imagine having the entire theme and look in place and the windows not matching and messing it up. Concentrating on the windows is for that reason essential too, also as they offer privacy while you are in your bath or garb them just a little bit for your imaginative pleasure.
Style
- Choosing your bathroom style lays the base for how you would do up its windows. For a modern and in look, plain blinds along with colors synchronizing with the wall tiles and flooring is perfect. For a simpler look roller blinds will be adequate with a distinguished border or trim.
- If you wish to do some splurging on the bathroom which is large enough, floor length drapes that go with the theme and colors of the walls and flooring is an interesting idea. Shower curtains could be elaborate and the bath on the whole could be accessorized with expensive fixtures like handles, towel hangers, cabinets for toiletries etc.
- Country style could be simpler with the curtains drawn. Style should basically reflect your interests and likes, there is no set rule to follow, and creating your own style will make a huge difference.
- For a trouble-free window treatment style, muslin, lace or a voile or net can be hung from the rod above or café curtains could be used.
Window setting
Window treatments also depend on where the window is set. It could be right above the bath tub with no privacy. In such a case, decorative and attractive window films or mesh can be used for complete seclusion at the same time letting the morning sunshine in. The patterns available will make it eye- catchy at the same time serve the purpose. This is low in maintenance and lasts much longer.
Window treatment choices
- Using a glass block window for privacy is a smart choice.
- Redi-Shades, these can be attached to the window top and open with an adhesive band, comes with clips to pinch the desired length ,an option if you want a quick window treatment and since these have a short life, changes can me made more frequently altering the look of your bathroom every now and then.
- Blinds with the blackout feature can be used for an immediate long term window treatment.
- Light weight vinyl blinds come cheaper but do not last long, aluminum blinds are a better alternative than these.
- Faux wood blinds are the most favored as these are low maintenance, long lasting with no fading or cracking and can survive the higher levels of humidity of the bathrooms.
- The most expensive are the complete wooden blinds if you really want to dress up your bath space bust just a little heavy and bulky if you have to raise and open them.
- Shutters are a best option in terms of ease in manageability, these give a fine finished look and offer a flexibility of opening the top half keeping the lower half closed , giving you privacy at the same time letting some fresh air and sunshine in.
- Honey comb shades (these look like cells of a honey comb woven together , hence the name ) are another alternative , biggest advantage is these can be made fit to suit any window shape and is mostly preferred by interior designers.
