Find What You Need in Bathroom Window Coverings

Getting ready to re-do a bathroom or in need of new bathroom window coverings? We've got you covered with a helpful exploration of the unique design needs in a bathroom as well as our recommended styles of window treatments that can live up to the specific set of needs found in bathrooms.

What A Bathroom Needs

Though they might fall differently in this order for you, all bathrooms need some form of the following four elements to create a usable and comfortable space. Finding the right balance between these elements is vital in selecting the best bathroom window coverings for your home.

• Privacy: Every bathroom needs privacy. And, for most homeowners, privacy is crucial when shopping for new bathroom window coverings. There are customizable elements for select styles of treatments that enhance their ability to provide privacy. For example, using smaller louver sizes on shutters in the bathroom.
• Ventilation: Ventilation is another crucial element in bathrooms. Not only does it help with odors, but good ventilation is also fundamental in ensuring that moisture does not linger and damage items or promote mold growth.
• Light Control: Natural light is a great tool to use to open up smaller spaces like bathrooms. Sunlight makes small rooms feel spacious, but it must be used smartly, or it can overwhelm you. This is where bathroom window coverings come in to control the light and create a comfortable interior ambiance.
• Style: The bathroom may not be the epicenter of style in your home, but it is one of the most consistently used rooms, so you can count on spending a fair amount of time looking at its walls. Bathroom window coverings can be a tool in establishing your bathroom's style as they control the lighting, which affects the mood and feel.

Bathroom Window Coverings by Hunter Douglas

While Hunter Douglas boasts a wide array of window coverings, there are four we love for bathrooms. Each type brings its own set of features and benefits that vary from moisture resistance for lasting performance to nuanced light control that sets a spa-like ambiance.

• Banded Shades: Banded shades use an innovative mix of opaque fabrics and translucent sheers to create a window covering the light control spectrum from soft filtration to room-darkening effects. Plus, these shades provide a view with their semi-opaque textiles, and like natural light, a view of the outdoors helps small spaces like bathrooms feel more significant.
• Vinyl Shutters: Vinyl shutters are known for being great in bathrooms for several reasons. First, their vinyl materials were designed to be moisture resistant so they can withstand the humid environment of bathrooms. Second, they're also great for ventilation as natural air flow easily enters between their louvers.
• Woven Wood Shades: Woven wood shades create a special kind of ambiance when used as shades in the bathroom. Their raw weaves filter natural light in a wonderfully organic way, like the visible shoots of sunlight that break through a tree canopy on a sunny day. The lighting effect is spa-like and creates a uniquely relaxed sense of refinement.
• Roman Shades: Roman shades bring a pop of color and textural interest to bathroom window coverings with fabric styles and color choices that number in the hundreds. Plus, by playing with a back liner or a dual roller system like Duolite®, homeowners can assert more or less light control as needed without sacrificing style.
