Cotton may be present within the fabric mix too, which is no better, and many Roman blinds contain fine threads and detailing for fabrics of a few different types, including silk, linen, and viscose, all of which will suffer from long term or frequent exposure to water and steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-are-fabric-blinds-ok-in-bathrooms\">When are fabric blinds ok in bathrooms?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/beige-patterned-bathroom-waterproof-roller-blinds.jpg\" alt=\"Beige patterned waterproof roller blinds in a large bathroom with sunken bath\" class=\"wp-image-7072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/beige-patterned-bathroom-waterproof-roller-blinds.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/beige-patterned-bathroom-waterproof-roller-blinds-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/beige-patterned-bathroom-waterproof-roller-blinds-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/beige-patterned-bathroom-waterproof-roller-blinds-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If your bathroom is high-ceilinged, and\/or simply very well-ventilated with all sources of water a long way from the windows and blinds, fabric blinds might be ok. However, this isn\u2019t necessarily the case, because even if your bathroom doesn\u2019t feel to you as if there\u2019s a lot of steam or humidity in the air, it will likely still be present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst fabric blinds might work out ok in some bathrooms that tick all of the above boxes, they\u2019re few and far between; and if you do take the risk and find out that you got things wrong, this could turn out to be a costly mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-fabric-blinds-ok-in-bathrooms-if-they-definitely-won-t-get-splashed\">Are fabric blinds ok in bathrooms if they definitely won\u2019t get splashed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blue-fish-patterned-fabric-roman-blinds-in-bathroom.jpg\" alt=\"Blue fish patterned fabric roman blinds in bathroom\" class=\"wp-image-7074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blue-fish-patterned-fabric-roman-blinds-in-bathroom.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blue-fish-patterned-fabric-roman-blinds-in-bathroom-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blue-fish-patterned-fabric-roman-blinds-in-bathroom-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blue-fish-patterned-fabric-roman-blinds-in-bathroom-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably not, and certainly not if they\u2019re close to sources of water.
