When it comes to choosing the ideal blinds for the bathrooms in your home, it’s important to find a style that strikes the perfect balance between form and functionality. More often than not, the blinds in your bathrooms are going to be closed for the sake of privacy. Since bathrooms usually generate high levels of moisture and humidity, you need to choose blinds that can withstand these conditions and still stand the test of time. At Sara Bella, we create high-quality custom bathroom window coverings in Calgary that are designed to suit your exact needs.
Types of Blinds That Works Best For Bathrooms
When it comes to helping you select the perfect window dressings for your home, we take a one-room-at-a-time approach. Each room and each window has different things to bring to the table. Depending on the location, size, and shape of each window in your house, natural lighting and temperature control may vary. That’s why we always recommend consulting one of our window treatment experts for advice before making your final decision.
After all, choosing new window coverings for your home is a big commitment. With that in mind, here are a few key factors you should take into consideration before making any decisions.
- Roller Blinds
- Roman Blind
Roman blinds are an elegant, classic, and high-quality window covering option. They’re incredibly versatile and come in a wide range of colours, prints, and design options that can easily fit into your existing bathroom décor. Whether you’re looking to spruce up your bathroom or incorporate an accent colour, Roman blinds are the perfect solution.
- Zebra Blinds
As far as waterproof window treatments go, zebra blinds are probably one of our top recommendations and most popular styles. They’re easy to use, extremely adoptable in different environments, and you can even choose from a range of colour and design schemes that fit within your existing bathroom décor. Most of our clients prefer going with zebra blinds because they’re very easy to clean and the installation is relatively quick and painless.
- Vertical Blinds
Types of Blinds to Avoid Putting in Your Bathrooms
- Real Wooden Blinds
As you probably already know, wood doesn’t respond or interact well with highly moisture-dense environments. Even if the wood has been professionally treated and cured, prolonged exposure to a combination of moisture and heat can actually cause it warp and look misshapen. Not only that, the steam from taking hot showers or baths in your bathroom can also cause internal and external cracking, which will ruin the aesthetic appeal of your blinds.
If you want to go for a woody or rustic look in your bathroom, your best option is to choose a faux wood material instead.
- Blinds Made Out of Heavy, Unbreathable Fabric
Choosing the right material for your bathroom window shades can be tricky, but don’t worry—our team of window covering experts in Calgary is here to help you make the right choice. We carry a wide selection of brand name blinds and material options that are sure to be the right choice for you.
We always advise our clients to stay away from thick, heavy, and unbreathable fabrics that retain too much moisture because they won’t last long and will need to be replaced within a few months. Thick fabrics are more likely to develop mold, mildew, fungi, and other forms of decay that are very difficult to clean and can be hazardous to your health.
Consider the following materials for your bathroom blinds instead: faux wood, composite, or vinyl.
- Curtains
While curtains can add a flair of elegant style to other rooms in your house such as your living room or bedroom, they’re not a great choice for bathrooms. Oftentimes, curtains are made of thin, translucent materials that not only let in a lot of light but also allow people to see right into your bathroom.
Since your primary reason for covering the windows in your bathroom is to add an air of privacy, you might want to reconsider installing curtains in there. If you really like the look of curtains and drapery in your bathroom, then consider using a light and airy fabric that breathes well in combination with a practical set of blinds. That way, you get the best of both worlds—style and functionality.
