But here a beautiful pink and black floral curtain acts almost as wall art and works wonderfully to open up the clean white space and add a pop of color. This light pink is unassuming, but still bold enough to add personality to the space while also covering the large windows.

Covering the window for privacy is probably top of your mind, especially if you live close to your neighbors. But if you have a tall window, consider only a partial curtain that covers up the bottom pane so light can still peer in, but your nosy neighbor can't.

Bathroom window treatment ideas are the perfect finishing touch to a beautiful bathing space. Offering that all-important privacy and the ability to control lighting and ventilation, window treatments play an important practical role in enhancing your wash room, but they also offer the opportunity to create a decorative focal point.

Being private spaces where we can truly unwind, bathrooms are the perfect place to create a scheme that truly reflects our personality and a beautiful window treatment can play a big part in this as it can instantly change the look and feel of a room. With so many practical yet stylish treatments available, from made-to-measure shutters and blinds to roller and Roman blinds, there's guaranteed to be design to complement your scheme.

To help get you inspired we've rounded up an array of window treatments suitable for bathroom ideas along with some handy tips from the experts.

Bathroom window treatments – what to consider

The bathroom window treatment ideas that work for your space will be dependent on a host of factors including the size of your window, its position in the room and your personal taste, however, one of the most important things to consider is the type of room they are intended for.

In rooms with high humidity such as wet rooms and small bathrooms it's best to use window treatment ideas that are water resistant, such as polyvinyl shutters or Venetian blinds, or synthetic roller blinds, as these will not be damaged when in contact with water plus are easy to wipe clean. Fabric and wood options can be prone to mould and mildew in damp environments, while wooden blinds can be at risk of warping.

In large bathrooms, such as family bathrooms and master bathrooms, and in areas which are well ventilated, fabric bathroom blind ideas and curtains may be used. While shutters and blinds are the most practical choice, fabric blinds and bathroom curtain ideas should not be overlooked as they are a brilliant way to soften the clinical appearance and hard surfaces of bathrooms, plus give the opportunity to experiment with color and pattern.

Being small, occasional spaces with just a WC and sink downstairs, cloakrooms and powder rooms are perfect places to showcase fabrics, too.

1. Control light with shutters

With adjustable slats or 'louvres' that allow you to control the amount of light entering the room while maintaining privacy, shutters make popular bathroom window treatments and are often the recommended choice of experts for moist environments.

'Window dressings in a bathroom environment are subject to moisture and humidity on a daily basis, so you'll need a product that will stand up to those pressures,' says Yvonne Keal, product manager at Hillarys . 'We'd recommend water-resistant shutters or our faux wooden Venetian blinds for this room; both of these are made from specialist materials that won't warp in the damp bathroom conditions, and they look great.'

'Tier on tier shutters are a versatile option as the top and bottom halves of the shutters open independently of each other, so you can throw open the top set to let some sunlight in while keeping the bottom set closed for a little more privacy,' adds Yvonne Keal. 'Choose larger louvres to allow more light into your room.'

2. Create calm with sheer curtains

Sheer curtains can make a practical bathroom window treatment as they offer privacy whilst keeping rooms feeling bright and airy. Softening harsh light and boasting a gentle texture, they are also a brilliant way to create a feeling of spa-like tranquillity in a luxury bathroom.

‘Balancing the need for light and privacy can make curtains in the bathroom tricky,’ says Rebecca Craig, head designer at Sanderson . ‘Light, washable curtains work well in the room, and layering them with blinds or shutters will provide ample privacy.’

3. Add a color pop with a Roman blind

'Whether a style choice or perhaps for practicality, fabric blinds can be a wonderful way to bring color and pattern into your bathroom,' says Lee Clarke, director of Warner House .

A brilliant small bathroom idea, a Roman blind in a colorful fabric will bring instant life to rooms which are tight on space and that offer limited opportunity to make a design statement. In this snug ensuite idea by Sims Hilditch white walls help give the illusion of space while a blind in Kate Forman fabric creates a decorative focal point.

Functional yet stylish, roller blinds are a popular bathroom window treatment idea as they have a wealth of practical benefits yet also come in a huge array of decorative designs.

If you have a large master bathroom, why not create a statement at your window with a large decorative printed roller blind? Printed with a stunning chinoiserie design from the V&A archive, this roller blind from Surface View conjures a feeling of Far-Eastern opulence.

Made in treated or synthetic fabrics roller blinds are easy to wipe clean and 'are a perfect choice if you are looking to maximize daylight and make smaller windows appear taller,' says Harry Cole, founder of Loom & Last. 'Neat and tidy they roll up and hide a small portion of the window pane ensuring full visibility and sunlight throughout the day,' he adds.

5. Double up for ultimate control

If you're looking for maximum control over privacy and light levels, consider paring two different bathroom window treatment ideas as done with this window which is framed with cafe shutters and a Roman blind. This can be an effective solution for large windows.

Covering just the lower section of a window, cafe shutters offer privacy without compromising on light so are prefect for creating a bright yet secluded space. The addition of a Roman blind will give the option to block out more light for those times when you want an atmospheric escape but it also helps make the window a more decorative focal point.

6. Use full length curtains for a traditional feel

(Image credit: Future)

If you have a period home with grand proportions or are looking for traditional bathroom ideas then consider full length curtains. Provided the room is well ventilated and the curtains are easy to clean and wash, curtains can bring unrivalled elegance and luxury to a bathroom.

'Curtains are an opportunity to bring a layer of softness and coziness to every room. You can introduce color and pattern on a large scale, and from which you can choose a complementary paint color for the walls and co-ordinating fabrics for the scheme,' says interior designer Penny Morrison .

7. Use waterproof shutters for a wet room

Wet rooms and shower rooms are areas of high humidity so it's important to opt for water-resistant window treatments in these areas, especially if the window is located in the shower. Unlike wood, shutters made from polyvinyl will not warp, rot or discolor and can easily be wiped down with a cloth.

Part of the appeal of wet rooms and shower rooms is their streamlined look which is achieved through having either no shower tray or one that is flush with the floor and floor to ceiling tiled surfaces – made-to-measure, plantation shutters can work perfectly to enhance this look. Not only can they fit neatly into a window frame some companies offer a color matching service so that the window treatment blends the existing decor.

'Shutters, unlike curtains will not mould due to steam and will help to create a clean and uniformed look that is suited to any taste,' says Sam Tamlyn, general manager at Shutterly Fabulous .

'Our color matching service provides the possibility of mirroring the tones of walls and furnishings to create a streamlined look. Alternatively, shutters can be used to create a great focal point by adding a splash of bright and vibrant color to your bathroom.'

8. Embrace chintz with a patterned blind

If you have a spacious bathroom why not use the space to make a real statement with wall to wall pattern and a matching bathroom blind? A fabulous vintage bathroom idea, this chintzy Les Pecheurs fabric print from Warner House depicts an 18th century chinoiserie-style scene.

'Don’t be afraid to use a bold, statement design in the bathroom,' says Lee Clarke, director of Warner House. 'Bathrooms are a great place to create a sense of drama so be brave and use the same pattern on all the walls and even the same design on blinds or curtains. Whether you are going for a classic or an ultra-modern look, there is a wide choice of designs to suit all styles.'

9. Try a Venetian blind

Similarly to shutters, Venetian blinds are excellent for light control due to their adjustable slats and are available in real wood or faux wood as well as a range of finishes plain or grained finishes.

'Faux-wood blinds are ideal for the bathroom, made from water-resistant uPVC, they bring an element of the outdoors in by providing consumers with all of the visual qualities of real wood but without the risk of warping,' says Kate Duckworth, senior digital marketing manager, Swift Direct Blinds .

In this white bathroom idea the Venetian blinds have been taped as an alternative to cords to offer a sleek more polished look – to make a statement you could consider having the tapes in a contrasting color.

10. Choose practical window film

While it may not be the first bathroom window treatment that springs to mind, window film can make a practical alternative to shutters and blinds when it comes to finishing a bathroom, as Joanna Baumard, co-founder of Purlfrost , explains.

'It goes without saying there are a lot of options within the window dressing space; curtains, blinds, shades, you name it, but a window film can offer more than just privacy. The self-adhesive film is easy to use and instantly injects personality into a room, they also allow full control over the amount of sunlight you let in, without having to shut away the outside completely. Some even have the added benefit of solar control as well as UV protection to prevent fading furnishing and guard cherished art work.'

11. Bring personality to a powder room

Powder rooms can easily be overlooked when it comes to decorating, but they can make great spaces to experiment with color and pattern, as they are only used for short period of time.

Providing the perfect finishing touch to this small space, this abstract Roman blind complements the geometric wallpaper whilst also picking up on the blue of the ceiling, helping to tie the whole scheme together.

What is a good window covering for a bathroom?

Shutters and Venetian blinds made from water-resistant materials such as uPVC and polyvinyl are good window coverings for a bathroom as they offer privacy and flexibility over lighting, but equally will not be damaged by moisture and are easy to clean.

'For blinds that are likely to get wet regularly or deal with a significant amount of humidity, it’s advisable to select PVC and vinyl blinds, or faux wood blinds as these materials are highly water resistant and easy to wipe clean,' says Oliver Hudson, director at Blinds by Post .

Should you put curtains in a bathroom?

Curtains can be used in a bathroom provided the room is well ventilated and consideration is given to the material used explains Emma Joyce, Brand Manager at House of Rohl .

‘A bathroom is a humid environment, so be conscious of this when choosing the curtain material. Consider a lightweight, washable fabric so that you can clean regularly. Man-made fibres are better at resisting mold and mildew, though natural materials such as linens and cottons will provide a more natural look.'

While shutters and blinds considered more practical for areas with moisture, curtains do have certain advantages when it comes to decorating. Not only do they bring instant warmth and softness, ‘curtains in the bathroom are a great way to introduce color and pattern into a traditionally plain space,’ says Rebecca Craig, lead designer at Sanderson .

Unlike in other rooms in the house, choosing the right fabric is key when it comes to a bathroom curtains. Generally light, machine washable fabrics are preferred for bathroom curtains, but in large bathrooms where the curtains are positioned away from baths or showers, then heavier fabrics may be used.

'Unless the bathroom isn’t used very much, or you’re quite happy with a very relaxed look, we would advise avoiding 100% linen fabrics because the fabric shifts and moves (stretches) with changes of temperature and humidity,' explains Harry Cole of Loom & Last. 'A cotton/linen mix or a viscose/linen mix would probably be ok but it’s safest to stick to 100% cotton. Like all fabrics, natural fabrics are susceptible to damage/mould and the key to keeping your bathroom blinds mould and mildew free is to keep your bathroom well ventilated to ensure the fabric has a chance to air and dry.'

Window in the bathroom: features, how to decorate

Bathrooms with windows are rare in standard apartment buildings. But the design of a bathroom in a private cottage or studio apartment may suggest the presence of a window opening.

Benefits of having a window in the bathroom

The advantages of a bathroom with a window opening include the following factors.

Provides a source of natural light.
Visual expansion of space. In most apartments or houses, a small area is allocated for a bathroom. The window fills the bathroom with light and air, visually making it more spacious.
An opportunity to create an original interior. The presence of a window opening allows you to realize unusual design ideas. A properly decorated window will become the “highlight” of the interior.
Beneficial effect on the psyche. The presence of natural light in the room helps to relax, improve the emotional state.
Economy. Thanks to the window opening, during the daytime in the bathroom there is no need to use sources of artificial lighting, which saves on electricity.
Aesthetic pleasure if the window opens a picturesque landscape of the city or nature.

Choice of colors

When choosing the color scheme of the interior, first of all, you should consider the size of the room. So, for example, if the bathroom is small, then dark colors should not be used in its design, as they will visually reduce the already small space. If the bathroom has a window facing the street, then this rule can be neglected. Brown, burgundy and even black color of the floor or wall under the rays of the sun does not look gloomy, but stylish and modern.

Glass decoration

The use of standard transparent glasses can be called a universal option. They let in maximum sunlight and allow you to freely admire the street landscape. Glass decor will make the bathroom interior original. Transparent glass can be replaced with the following analogues.

Matt. It lets in natural light, but hides what is happening in the bathroom from prying eyes.
Tinted. Recommended for rooms in which the window faces south. Protects from prying eyes and hot sunlight.
Stained glass. This is a bright and spectacular way to decorate a bathroom, but it will not organically fit into every interior. In addition, stained glass is expensive and reduces the flow of light from the window.

The cheapest way to decorate glass is to use self-adhesive film with a pattern. It is not durable, but it has an affordable price and is easy to glue with your own hands. A more expensive but aesthetically pleasing decoration can be obtained by sandblasting glass. Under the pressure of air-sand jets, beautiful patterns and drawings are created. The main thing is that the decoration of the window coincides with the general idea of \u200b\u200bthe design of the room.

In old houses, you can often find a window between the bathroom and the kitchen or toilet. Such a window looks out of place and steals part of the usable space, interfering with the installation of the locker. The most elementary way to get rid of a window opening is to seal it tightly on both sides with:

- cement mortar;

- bricks or foam blocks;

- moisture resistant drywall.

Another way to use an interior window is to turn it into a decorative interior detail. There are such options for decorating the opening between the bathroom and the kitchen.

Replacement of ordinary glass with stained glass. Color highlights will create a rainbow mood in the room, make the interior bright and memorable.
Installation of glass blocks. They are mounted similarly to brickwork, but they let light through and look much more spectacular.

The window can be turned into an unusual and practical niche. To do this, the hole from the side of the kitchen or toilet is covered with a sheet of drywall. From the side of the bathroom, the resulting niche is leveled from the inside with cement and finished with a material that is used to clad the entire room. It is recommended to install a backlight in the recess. An original way to highlight a niche is to use mirror material for facing the back of the wall.

To create a stylish and cozy design of a bathroom with a window, you should listen to the advice of designers.

If the bathroom is located in a private house with a fenced area, then its owners are not afraid of prying eyes and can leave the window open for viewing. When installing a window in the bathroom of an apartment, it is necessary to ensure sufficient privacy: hang curtains or even install shutters.
The window sill is not a mandatory element of the bathroom window, but if it is, it can be used as a shelf for storing cosmetics. On the windowsill, you can install decorative elements, for example, flowers in vases, candlesticks.
Even if the bathroom has a window, do not forget about artificial light sources. The number and design of fixtures depends on the chosen interior style and area of the room.
Wall mirrors will help to increase the degree of illumination of the bathroom and visually expand the space. They are installed so as to reflect the sun's rays.
Decorate the bathroom window with curtains or flowers

The combination of white and brown in the interior of the bathroom looks beautiful and modern
The window sill should organically fit into the interior, be combined with decoration and furniture. For its cladding, ceramic tiles, wood, natural and artificial stone are often used. It is recommended to install a washing machine under the windowsill, increasing the functionality of the room.
To create a relaxing atmosphere in the bathroom, you need to think about the decoration. The owners should carefully consider the selection of finishing materials, furniture fittings and plumbing to ensure a harmonious design. The finishing touch in the interior of the bathroom, which has a window, can be pots with live plants. They will decorate the window sill or shelves and create an atmosphere of closeness with nature.

Many people don't know how to decorate a bathroom window correctly. The design of the window opening should be beautiful and practical. You can decorate the bathroom window in the following ways.

Blinds. When minimized, they are practically invisible, and when expanded, they cover the entire window. Blinds are very common due to their affordable price.
Roller blinds. Unlike blinds, roller blinds are solid canvases, not lamella strips. They are made of dense fabric, have a wide selection of colors and textures, suitable for almost any design.
Tulle. It looks gentle, light, airy, transmits light. At night, when the lamps are on, the tulle will not hide anything. Any movement in the bathroom will be noticeable to passers-by on the street.

The materials that will cover the window must be selected taking into account the characteristics of the room. Fabrics should be easy to wash, not be afraid of humidity and temperature changes.

Stylistic solutions for a bath with a window

A bathroom with a window will look great in any interior style, the main thing is to choose the right decor. To date, the following options are most popular.

Minimalism. It involves the use of a minimum amount of furniture and decor. All elements of the interior should look simple and concise. On the floor of the bathroom in a minimalist style, tiles or porcelain tiles will look good. To finish the wall, you can use ceramic tiles, paint or decorative plaster. The main colors of the style: white, gray, vanilla, beige. As accents, small elements of bright or dark colors are selected, for example, a stylish trash can in black or brown. For window decoration, it is recommended to use blinds, Roman or roller blinds. Roman blinds should be solid and match the color of the floor mat. In minimalism, a big role is given to the liberation and expansion of space. A window the size of the entire wall will perfectly fit into its concept.
Decorate your bathroom with potted flowers

Classicism. At the heart of this style is demonstration luxury. When decorating a bathroom, you can use gilding and stucco molding. It is recommended to lay parquet, moisture-resistant laminate or ceramic tiles with marble imitation on the floor. For walls, washable wallpaper with a soft floral pattern or Venetian plaster is suitable. Calm colors are selected for vertical and horizontal surfaces: white, milky, sand, beige, cream, light brown, pink, olive. Furniture and decor items can be distinguished by rich, rich tones: pomegranate, marsh, wine, chocolate. The bathroom window in a classic style should be decorated with lush curtains with lambrequins. A great option is to install a lambrequin made of dense heavy fabric in the upper part of the window opening, and drape the lower part with curtains made of lighter material.
Provence. Combines rustic simplicity and French chic. In finishing the floor, it is worth using natural wood or its high-quality imitation. Walls can be painted, finished with wallpaper or decorative plaster. A romantic Provence interior is created using natural pastel colors: lilac, olive, mint and others. It is desirable that French-style furniture be made of bleached wood, and plumbing should have an antique look.

Bathroom design features with a window

A bathroom window is a spectacular element that most often sets the layout of a space. Often, designers prefer to place the bath right next to the window: this way, taking a bath will turn from an ordinary relaxing procedure into a real meditation. But this solution has its own nuances: such a bath, especially if it is freestanding, should not be hidden behind curtains. From this it follows that in addition to an elegant bathroom with a window, it is also useful to have a practical shower.

Another feature concerns finishing materials. Since we have already agreed that a bathroom with a window is not for morning rushes and quick preparations, but for a relaxing holiday, water splashes are minimized. Therefore, the usual tiling can be safely replaced with expensive wallpaper or stucco decoration.

But in no case should aesthetics be at odds with functionality and comfort. Even when installing windows from trusted companies, make sure that there are no drafts and cold in the bathroom: calculate what kind of convectors or batteries of what power will suit your bathroom area, and do not neglect the size (or even number) of the heated towel rail - it will also make the bathroom warmer, and the photo above proves that the room does not lack elegance.

Window design

Window design in the bathroom depends on the overall style of the space and the shape of the window itself. The most practical option for a place with high humidity is blinds.

Curtains, shutters or blinds: 9 options for window design

In the Copper & Tin bathroom, they not only hide from prying eyes, but also maintain the overall rhythm of the room – notice how the horizontal blinds intersect with the relief lines on the walls.

A similar solution is shutters. The architect Oleg Klodt decided to make his own bathroom as similar as possible to a living room, so he covered the walls with wallpaper, and decorated the windows with folding shutters, as in the whole apartment.

In particular, he covered the walls with wallpaper. There is teak on the floor. Photo: Mikhail Loskutov. Stylist: Anna Agapova. Producer: Natalya Varnikova

A softer option - a combination of blinds and translucent curtains. Designer Helen Kucherova did not place the bath in front of floor-to-ceiling windows so as not to block the light coming from them, but, on the contrary, increased the amount of light with the help of a mirror panel, which actually added a couple more window openings to the bathroom.

And Natalia Maslova used only traditional curtains in her bathroom, just like in any other room of the house. They soften the partial wall tiling. Complements the space with a chandelier with details in the form of candles.

Another popular way to decorate bathroom windows is with Roman blinds. They (however, like blinds) can be attached to the wall, to the ceiling or to the window opening. A more elegant option is Austrian curtains. In Natalia Popova's project, frills support the interior in the style of Napoleon III, but they appear only when the curtains are pulled together.

If the windows and especially the views from them are too spectacular, then you can do without any curtains at all. Daria Mayer worked on the interior of the apartment on the second, "lordly" floor of a historic house on the corner of Nevsky and Malaya Konyushennaya and tried to preserve the light and air of the space as much as possible. And the YoDezeen team sought to connect everything with the “outside world”: when the space is located on the last two floors of a high-rise building, and the view from the panoramic windows opens onto Moscow City, it is impossible to do otherwise. Shy people can look at windows with “smart glass”, the light transmission of which can be adjusted depending on the situation.
