Trivia Question: What’s the one room that most people say they have no idea what to do for window treatments in? We have found over the years that when it comes to covering windows, most people know what they want (or at least have some ideas) in their bedrooms and living rooms. The bathroom windows however, are a different story. We get it! There is a lot to consider, such as the fact that the bathroom is not really the source of appeal for guests. There is a lot of moisture in the room with hot, steamy showers and splashing bubble baths. Toilets, cabinets, tubs, and laundry piles can all be in the way of the window, yet, you still need privacy! So, what should you do? Fortunately, while many, the considerations are not challenging, and we will walk you through the process!
So, let’s get started by diving into the top three considerations to make your window treatment selection!
1) Privacy
Of absolute, utmost importance is your privacy. The last thing you want when sitting down on the hopper or stepping out of the shower free as ever, is to see your neighbor slowlyyyy walking by out of the corner of your eye. Privacy is not only a preference, it is a safety concern, especially in this day and age! Hunter Douglas provides countless shades with the top-down, bottom-up feature that will give you the natural light and view, when appropriate, without sacrificing your privacy. Other shades have vanes that can open and close manually or at the touch of a button too, giving you that flexibility of desired level of privacy.
2) Durability
Bathrooms are unavoidably places of high moisture. Add in a few kids during bathtime and things can get quite messy. Therefore, you want window treatments that are durable, water resistant, and won’t warp in the changing temperature and air conditions. One treatment we highly recommend is the Palm Beach Shutters. Simply wipe off water droplets with no lasting watermarks, and go on with your day worry free! Of course, shutters are not for everyone, but we can assure you that there are other options available of various fabrics and operating systems to keep your shades in tip top shape in a splish, splash space!
3) Convenience
Last, but not least, you must consider the location of your bathroom windows. Many can be placed in hard to reach areas such as behind a tub, over the sink, in the corner next to the toilet, what have you. Or, perhaps its behind where your kids (or husband) decide is the perfect spot to make a head of dirty laundry! Regardless, you deserve to be able to easily operate your window treatments. That is why we suggest motorization in your bathroom! Shades that you have to pull down from a handle will quickly becoming aggravating, making you just leave them down all the time to preserve your privacy. Our customers love motorization – it simply is the way to go for those hard to reach places! Read other benefits of PowerView Motorization here!
