4 Steps to Finding New Bathroom Shades

Step 1: Define your Privacy Needs

There are many personal activities that go on in our bathrooms that we naturally want privacy for, but when shopping for new bathroom shades the question becomes how much privacy is needed and from who? Does your bathroom window open onto the front street, in which case you’d need to block the view from a passerby? Or is your bathroom window not viewable from the exterior, maybe it looks over an open space or is blocked by tree coverage? In this case minimal privacy might be needed and perhaps light or ventilation is a more pressing demand for your space? Defining your privacy needs will help you determine what model of window treatment would work best from banded shades to sheer shades to shutters.

Step 2: Shop for Moisture Resistance

What's in the bathroom? Water and moisture. And what can moisture do long term to materials not ready for the elevated water content? Damage them, and that can look like discoloring/bleach, warping, or rotting. Investing in moisture resistant materials like those found in Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters and EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds can ensure your bathroom shades can stand up to the humidity found there over the long haul.

Step 3: Elevating Light Control

One way to combine a bathroom’s need for privacy but the aesthetic desire of natural lighting is with Hunter Douglas’s Top-Down/Bottom-Up system. This advanced operating system allows window treatments in the bathroom to open from the bottom up, like most traditional shades, or the top down for expanded light control. With the ability to open from the top down, bathroom users benefit from the natural light entering at the top of the window while having their privacy protected from the drawn shade at the bottom. The Top-Down/Bottom-Up system is available on Duette® Cellular Shades, Vignette® Roman Shades, Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades, and Provenance® Woven Wood Shades.

Step 4: Ask about Elevated Style Options

Just because the bathroom serves functional purposes doesn’t mean that it can’t also be stylish. There are many shades in the Hunter Douglas collection that not only meet the unique needs of the bathroom but also have a one-of-a-kind, eye-catching style. For example, we love the raw but refined look of Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades and Provenance® Woven Wood Shades in the bathroom to create an elevated and serene sense of sophistication.
