Bathroom window treatments serve more than just a decorative purpose; they provide privacy for the most intimate space in your home. The ideal treatment enhances your bathroom and provides functional coverage.

If your bathtub or shower is next to a window, opaque glass might be a better option than a pair of flowing curtains. However, just because traditional bathroom window treatments won’t work doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. Opaque glass is impossible to see through, yet it still allows plenty of natural light to flow into your space. For a more aesthetically pleasing look, consider covering only the bottom half of your window.

Brightly Colored Curtains
Whether your bathroom is mostly neutral or has bold wallpaper, window treatments with a cheerful pattern add visual interest and texture. Horizontal stripes are always chic and easy to pair with a variety of designs. It is recommended to choose bright yellow or light sky blue, as both colors are eye-catching and pair well with neutrals and other bright colors.

Waterproof Curtains
For bathrooms, choose waterproof fabrics that are resistant to moisture. These shades will last a long time, provide complete privacy, and can still be raised to allow light into the room.

Wooden Blinds
Privacy can be an issue in ground-floor bathrooms. Wooden blinds are a great choice for several reasons. They are simple to operate and easy to clean. They allow natural light to filter through the gaps and contain moisture in a wet room. You can easily dress up wooden blinds by hanging a pair of sheer curtains

Create a romantic look in your bathroom with light, floor-length, atterned curtains. This simple style feels chic and luxurious and creates the illusion that the window extends to the floor. A pair of sleek white curtains works well in a variety of bathrooms. If your bathroom doesn’t have a window, you can recreate this look by using two long window treatments as shower curtains.

Instead of searching for the perfect bathroom window treatment, try designing the window yourself with textured frosted glass. Textured frosted glass with an etched circular design provides privacy without sacrificing natural light or style.
