Window Treatments for Bathrooms
What are the most essential elements that can elevate a bathroom? A nice vanity? A clawfoot tub? The wall paint color? The floor tiles? What about the window treatments? Window treatments are one of the most critical design elements in a bathroom because they provide the needed privacy and control lighting, being the gatekeeper that denies or allows sunlight.
Learn more about bathroom window blinds from our Benchmark Shutters & Shades team. Here are our top four favorite window treatments for bathrooms, from Hunter Douglas blinds to motorized shades. Which type best suits your bathroom decor style and household needs?
Hunter Douglas Blinds
One of the first things to consider when buying bathroom blinds near Apex, North Carolina, is that not only will they be subjected to the elevated moisture levels of a bathroom but also the high humidity that we can suffer from here in the South. We like using EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds for their resilient nature and durable design. For extra protection, get the smaller vane sizes with coordinating smaller gaps that offer elevated privacy and a classic style.
Bathroom Banded Shades
While banded shades mimic bathroom blinds' linear aspects and openness, they present a softer aesthetic and chic modern profile. Additionally, the sheer textiles used in Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades filter UV and obscure the sightline for added protection in the bathroom. For a more modern, open feel, opt for the larger band sizes available for Designer Banded Shades, available in 90 different fabric options.
Bathroom Woven Wood Shades
For a spa-like ambiance in your home bath, look to the raw weaves of Provenance® Woven Wood Shades. The striking way sunlight filters through their organic textiles creates a mottled effect, adding to the serene, natural ambiance they create. You can style these Hunter Douglas woven wood shades into Roman shades, waterfall Roman shades, recessed Roman shades, or vertical drapery to suit your personal style preferences.
Motorized Shades for the Bathroom
In the bathroom, privacy is of the utmost importance, and as such, we never want to risk leaving ourselves vulnerable simply because we forgot to close a shade. Motorized bathroom window treatments with an automated option, like those with PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas, can be pre-arranged to close during critical times in your daily schedule. Never worry about window shades being left open or your family being vulnerable with the reliability of automated shades. PowerView® Automation is available on select models of Hunter Douglas blinds, banded shades, and woven wood treatments.
