Bathroom window decoration

For window coverings in the bathroom, there are a number of factors that you should pay attention to. First of all, the moisture resistance. In other words: it can withstand water well. The bathroom regularly gets damp from showering and washing.

In addition, it is wise to look at the suitability for turn and tilt windows. In the bathroom you have to deal with turn and tilt windows more often than in the living room, for example. It is therefore important to find out what type of window you have in the bathroom before you purchase your window coverings.

Finally, it is important to pay attention when choosing window decoration for the bathroom: the privacy it offers. Nobody appreciates looking into the bathroom, so you should go for window coverings that are opaque.

Bathroom window coverings: what is suitable and what is not

There are plenty of options for window coverings for the bathroom. Electric roller blinds, electric cellular blinds and electric aluminium venetian blinds are moisture-resistant, suitable for tilt and turn windows and they offer full privacy. When buying curtains or blinds, make sure to choose a translucent fabric. That way, daylight can still illuminate your bathroom while you still experience sufficient privacy. With abundant sunshine in the bathroom, however, it may be wise to choose a blackout curtain. This way you can also regulate the heat.

A window decoration that is less suitable in this room are roman blinds. Roman blinds often have a thicker fabric and are not moisture-resistant. Another reason why roman blinds are not a good option is that in winter, they do not dry properly.

Electric roller blinds

Electric roller blinds have always been popular as window decoration in the living room, yet they also prove to be a good option in the bathroom. The choice of electric roller blinds is wide and you can decide how transparent you would like the fabric to be. In the bathroom, you will most likely opt for privacy and roller blinds certainly provide this. It is perfect for filtering light while protecting privacy and it does not have a heavy, thick fabric.

Besides, the blinds are easy to install and easy to operate. Roller blinds are also suitable for turning and tilting windows by adding side guides to the window. In that case, the curtain moves with the window.

Electric cellular blinds

Electric cellular blinds are ideal for maintaining privacy in the bathroom. These curtains have a neutral look, creating an ambiance of peace and comfort. In addition, electric cellular blinds are available in different colours and you can choose between a single pleat and a double pleat. This curtain is easy to clean and highly moisture-resistant. Additionally, fitting these curtains is easy, even on tilt and turn windows. In short, cellular blinds are a good choice if you are looking for window decoration for the bathroom.

Electric venetian blinds

The easy electric operation of the blinds makes it easy to turn the slats along with the position of the sun. This ensures that you always have the desired mount of privacy and light in your bathroom. It is smart to choose aluminium or plastic blinds as they are more moisture-resistant than wooden blinds, for instance. Mounting electric blinds is easy and they can be fixed on turn and tilt windows as well. As with electric roller blinds, it is necessary to add a side guide on such a turn-tilt window, so the blinds can move with the window.

Our advice

Finally, it is important for the preservation of the window decoration to regularly ventilate the room to ensure that the materials have ample opportunity to dry properly after using the bathroom.
