Performance in High Humidity

The bathroom is likely the most humid room in your home. This can pose a risk for some styles of window treatments because if they are not resistant to moisture then they can be damaged by the prolonged exposure to a damper environment, which could result in warping, peeling, or mildew and mold buildup. However, there are several styles of high-end shutters that have been specifically designed with moisture-resistant materials to perform optimally even in humid rooms or climates. In addition to being moisture resistant, plantation-style shutters also afford homeowners the ability to control privacy, light, and airflow effortlessly thanks to their easily maneuverable slats. Tilting slats open or closed can allow or block light for controllable illumination, and the space between slats permits natural airflow without sacrificing privacy. Our favorite interior shutters for bathroom window treatments include:

• Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters
• Norman Woodlore® Plus Shutters

Privacy and Light Control

Since restrooms are often on the smaller side when it comes to room size within a home, using lightweight sheer materials for bathroom window treatments can help the space feel airy and more open. Materials with sheer, semi-sheer, or semi-opaque transparencies create soft, natural illumination and also an enhanced level of privacy since modern sheer shadings can block both light and the view coming into your restroom. There are several different styles of bathroom window treatments that utilize sheer materials from sheer drapery and café style curtains to banded roller shades and modern sheer window shadings.

• Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shadings
• Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades
• Harmony Blinds & Shutters Custom Draperies
• Alta Sheer Window Shadings

Creating an Oasis

Bathrooms can be wonderfully relaxing spaces, an oasis within our home offering reprieve from the stresses of daily life. So, when decorating the bathroom, it’s important to not just consider functional features like light control or moisture resistance, a well-rounded bathroom window treatment should be both functionally optimized and aesthetically pleasing. Roman shades offer pops of color and gorgeous natural lighting effects; the softness of the fabric fronted treatment also offers a nice soft counter texture to the often rigid and hard lines of a bathroom. Woven wood shades are another popular option for stylized bathroom window treatments because the organic beauty of the natural textures creates a spa-like ambiance, and the earthy colors balance the coldness of stark white porcelain.
