Bathroom Blinds

What are the best blinds to use in a bathroom?

Bathroom window blinds need to withstand the challenges of being hung in a humid or steamy environment and in some cases, being at risk of getting wet. However, there are still plenty of options to be going on with!

• Suitable options for a wet room or bathroom window include PVC or vinyl roller blinds and vertical blinds, and also faux-wood slatted blinds, all of which will withstand a high degree of moisture and humidity.
• Aluminium Venetian blinds shouldn’t be overlooked either, whether your bathroom turns into a full-on water theme park, or just acts like the average bathroom in terms of the presence of water and steam. Venetian blinds for bathrooms are highly resistant to water and condensation, and their slats are made from aluminium, so they won’t rust.
• If your bathroom is larger, less subject to wet or damp, and has excellent ventilation, you even have the option of real wood blinds for a more natural look or Roman blinds, for a seriously opulent look to go with your claw-footed Victorian bathtub. That said, these are something of a bold choice for all but large, high-ceilinged rooms with the shower or bathtub (and water in general) kept some distance from the blind itself.

What are the benefits of bathroom blinds?

Aside from the obvious application of preventing the neighbours from seeing your pale bits, window blinds for bathrooms (depending on the type you pick) can do a number of specialised things.

• First up, made to measure bathroom blinds protect your privacy by preventing people passing by from being able to see through the window, while also ensuring that people outside of the home don’t get an unwitting eyeful of something they’d rather not see.
• They also filter or soften the light, prevent glare, and allow you to make the bathroom feel cosier and more welcoming; essential if you like to relax in the bath with a glass of wine and some scented candles at the end of a hard day.
• Some types of bathroom blinds, such as PVC roller blinds and vertical blinds, are blackout too, enabling you to occlude light from outside more or less entirely, depending on how you hang them within the window recess.
• If you choose vertical blinds or Venetian blinds for your bathroom (either faux-wood, wood, or aluminium) these can be tilted or slanted, enabling you to exert a high degree of control over the level of light and privacy offered. This might be important to you if the light hits the bathroom windows full-on at certain times of day, or if you and your other half have markedly different ideas on what constitutes the appropriate bathroom ambience and level of privacy.
• Thermal bathroom blinds also help to insulate the window too, preventing drafts from ruining the mood as soon as you step out of the bath, and helping to reduce heat loss through the window. An excellent choice if your heating bills can be a little steep, or you’re keen to pick eco-friendly blinds and do your bit towards reducing global warning.
• Last but very much not least, bathroom blinds allow you to style your room exactly how you want it; to create or enhance a theme, disguise an ugly view or even just an ugly window, and generally, put your own personal stamp on the room in the way you want.
