Bathroom window ideas and what to consider
Consider your window furnishing options in the planning stage of your bathroom as they can have a substantial impact on the overall aesthetic of the room. Ensuring that they are stylish is a must, but they also need to be suitable for the varying temperatures and moisture levels a bathroom can be exposed to. To help you make your choices, we’ve pulled together our top tips for which window furnishings meet the twin criteria of fashion and function. Let’s dig in.
1. Roller blinds for added panache
Being a practical choice for bathrooms, roller blinds come in a variety of moisture proof finishes and fabrics suitable for bathrooms. Our PVC and moisture proof roller blinds are some of our customers’ favourites when decorating their bathroom windows. By preventing water marks and mildew build up, the right roller blind will reduce your cleaning time and help your space feel fresh for a long time.
While important, practicality isn’t the only consideration, homes also want to be stylish and roller blinds tick that box! A well-chosen roller blind can instantly refresh your decor by allowing you to implement an eye-catching pattern or bold colour, great for expressing your personal taste in your chosen design style.
2. Chic shutters
We couldn’t talk about bathroom window dressings without mentioning shutters. Incredibly stylish, shutters bring an aura of elegance to any space alongside a wide range of practical benefits. Our faux wood shutters in particular are ideal for bathrooms, including wet rooms, as their moisture proof properties prevent warping or cracking of the slats.
To achieve your ultimate self-care space, select a tier-on-tier or cafe style shutter to add a luxurious touch while protecting your privacy. You can also finish off the space with some bubble bath and scented candles to achieve that spa-like calmness! Learn more in our buyers’ guide for shutters.
3. Timeless wooden blinds
Similar to shutters, wooden Venetian blinds provide optimum light control due to their adjustable slats. Ideal for keeping the space light and bright yet obscuring the view from the outside in, faux wood Venetian blinds are perfect for bathrooms. In moisture rich spaces, faux wood Venetian blinds are the ideal choice as they won’t warp or crack when the place gets too steamy. Add a unique touch by selecting a contrasting tape colour, with a range of neutrals to some bold additions.
4. Modern metal Venetian blinds
Looking to bring a modern aesthetic to your bathroom? Opting for a metal Venetian blind will provide just that alongside a multitude of practical benefits. They truly are the perfect combination of function and form!
The sleek, elegant slats are crafted from premium quality aluminium meaning they are resistant to both water and steam. The slats can also be tilted to filter the light, allowing you to enjoy the ideal light level for your relaxation time, while also doubling up to protect your privacy.

5. Relaxing Roman blinds
Roman blinds aren’t often the first window treatments that spring to mind when it comes to bathroom windows, but as long as there is plenty of ventilation – such as an opening window and extractor fan – a Roman blind can be the ultimate stylish addition to a bathroom. Opting for a bold colour is a fun way for instantly changing the atmosphere within the room, from energising and stimulating, to calming and relaxing zen. Find out more about the impact different colours can have in our Psychology of colour: Positive Colours blog.
6. Double up for double impact
For adding the benefits of two blinds in one stylish fitting look no further than double roller blinds. Double roller blinds feature two layers of fabric that work independently or in tandem. Choose blackout options for complete darkness and privacy – perfect for those candle lit bubble baths – or maintain privacy with a low level of light diffusion by selecting a dimout option for your top layer. This is a great way to reduce glare and create a soft glow of light in your bathroom. The second layer of semi sheer screen fabric permits for daytime privacy with a gentle filter of sunlight gifting you the versatility to enjoy your bathroom exactly as you’d like.
Dressing bathroom windows appropriately to match the varying levels of water and heat is vital for maintaining the appearance of your stylish self-care space. By following these tips for your bathroom windows, we hope that today’s blog provides you with some inspiration to enhance the look and appeal of your bathroom while checking off those practical elements.
