You might get your best ideas in there, but bathrooms are typically the most boring, functional places in your home.
So, when your bathroom needs a revamp, blinds are likely the last thing on your want list. Why bother investing time into researching bathroom blinds at all?!
At Just Blinds, we believe that every room in the house deserves to have beautiful blinds. They are an effective way of transforming a space from drab to stylish with minimal effort.
But what sort of blinds are best for bathrooms?
Bathroom Requirements
Bathrooms are used every single day, and like all rooms, their window coverings need to be up to the job.
Moisture Levels
Regular bathing activities generate lots of steam and humidity, so it’s crucial to consider how wet your blinds will get. How will moisture in the air affect the way they look and function?
Combating moisture levels comes down to choosing water-resistant materials, such as PVC or aluminium. These materials enable any condensation to run off of the blind material rather than absorbing it, preventing potential mouldy problems or damp damage.
Privacy Vs Light And Air Flow
Your bathroom is definitely a place where you want to avoid inadvertent onlookers.
Bathroom blinds, therefore, need to provide adequate levels of privacy, whilst still allowing light in and damp air to flow freely out through open windows.
Easy To Clean
Blinds need to be as easy to look after as possible in any room of the house, bathroom included. Mild maintenance is one thing, but no one wants to set out a heavy cleaning schedule for their window coverings…
It’s just not practical!
The Best Blinds For Bathrooms
There are plenty of options for bathroom blinds out there that you can get creative with.
Roller Blinds
Roller blinds, and more specifically waterproof roller blinds, are the ideal choice for your bathroom if convenience is top of your list and your budget is low.
The roller mechanisms of these blinds enable users to operate them manually with extreme ease, and for extra accessibility, there are plenty of motorised options out there, too.
Cordless roller blinds are the perfect fit for families with young children. Instead of the standard pull cord typical of regular roller blinds, a spring-loaded internal mechanism is used instead. Users need only pull down on the base of the blind to release the hold of the spring and adjust the blind as needed.
Covering a large surface area, roller blinds can make a big impact in any bathroom. From bold brights to funky florals, or calm pastels to nautical stripes, the versatility of roller blinds has got aesthetics AND functionality completely covered.
Venetian Blinds
Venetian blinds are classically stylish and can convert a boring bathroom to an elegant ensuite in mere moments.
Whilst the luxury of real wood Venetian blinds can draw many people in, it’s best to err on the side of caution in a bathroom setting and opt for synthetic fabrics or faux woods. Real wooden blinds living in humidity will become bowed and unsightly and soon need replacing.
The make-up of water-resistant fabrics and faux wood are such that synthetic Venetian blinds can withstand prolonged exposure to high moisture levels in the air. This means that they are functional whilst retaining the timeless style that Venetian blinds are famous for.
Venetian blinds are both easy to look after and manipulate depending on the level of privacy and light you’re after.
Vertical Blinds
PVC or aluminium vertical blinds can make for an ideal solution for a bathroom with a large window. Available in a variety of designs, vertical blinds provide ultimate light filtration control whilst also being kind on the pocket, meaning you can achieve effortless style without a huge investment.
The impermeable nature of PVC and aluminium means that vertical blinds made from these materials are also easy to clean and maintain, enabling users to prolong their lifespan.
Vertical blinds may not be top of your list if you’ve got kids tearing around your house though, and it’s important to consider that privacy may be tricky to maintain in a bathroom as air flowing in through open windows can cause the louvres to swing apart and knock together.
