Not all bathrooms have windows, although they’re ideal for proper ventilation, airflow and natural light. For the bathrooms that do have windows, bathroom blinds and window coverings are a great way to not only increase privacy but also maximize energy-efficiency. They elevate your comfort year-round, keep out the heat and cold whenever necessary and provide your home with an extra layer of cozy design.

Let’s take a look at our round-up of the best bathroom blinds and treatments for one of the spaces in the home you use most.

Aluminum Bathroom Blinds

A good window covering for the bathroom offers privacy (especially if the glass isn’t frosted or textured), allows light to enter and helps keep the space at a comfortable temperature year-round, regardless of outdoor conditions.

Aluminum bathroom blinds are great for any room in the house due to their moisture-resistant material. Aluminum is resistant to mold and mildew growth, making it the perfect solution for the bathroom (and even the kitchen) as it’s a room that’s very high-humidity.

Aluminum blinds are a classic and although they have a slightly more cold, commercial look, they’re a good option for the bathroom. Bathroom windows are usually small so an equally understated window covering is ideal.

PVC Shutters

PVC shades or shutters are a cost-effective alternative to aluminum and provide ample moisture-resistant protection from the cold. They are easily customizable in the bathroom where windows come in all shapes and sizes, even in the form of skylights.

Because they’re PVC, they won’t rot as they’re basically waterproof. Their wide blades look great on small bathroom windows, as well as the toilet window.

Roller Blinds

While roller blinds are another convenient option for bathrooms, there are some cons to them that might not suit your day-to-day lifestyle. For example, the waterproof fabric they’re made from might harbour dust, and any wind or airflow might cause them to bang against the window because they’re so lightweight.

At the end of the day, it’s up to you to choose the most suitable option for your bathroom. Whether you need bathroom blinds that are lightweight and sheer or bathroom blinds in the form of PVC shutters, the decision is all yours.
