Blinds have become increasingly popular over the years, with many households adopting them into their homes. The main purpose of window blinds is to ensure privacy while not completely blocking out the light. By allowing partial light, this also prevents glares that come with leaving windows bare.
When it comes to bathrooms, privacy becomes even more of a concern. Nobody would want to compromise their privacy for the sake of some extra light, and this is where blinds come into it. Understandably, the market for blinds is huge, and there are many different types of blinds. Here are the best blinds for bathrooms, taking into consideration the aesthetics, durability, water-resistance, and overall suitability.
Roller Blinds
These blinds are the most suitable for bathrooms since the fabric used is apt for moist conditions, which are obviously very common in bathrooms. They’re available in different levels of transparencies from partial to complete blocking of light. Roller blinds are most useful since they can be made of PVC fabric that makes it extremely easy to clean. This means they can come in a variety of colours and patterns that are guaranteed to fit any aesthetic you might be going for.
Roman Blinds
This type of blind shouts elegance but is a very subtle addition to the washroom. It is especially popular in en-suite bathrooms where there the washroom adds into the other areas. One of the main differentiating features of these blinds is the fact that when fully open, they’re not bumpy or uneven as is the case with vertical blinds. The even texture that it exhibits, makes it a very elegant form of blind for bathrooms and can give any bathroom a vintage touch easily.
Venetian Blinds
These are horizontal slatted blinds that are made out of either plastic or metal. In some cases wood is also used for the blinds, these are simply referred to as wooden blinds. The slats can be varied through 180 degrees depending on how much light you want coming through.
Vertical Blinds
These blinds have also found popularity in bathrooms in the recent past. The vertically placed slats give an unconventional yet aesthetically pleasing look to the interiors and make for a perfect blind for bathrooms. One of the most common choices is to mix roller blinds with vertical blinds to give the bathroom a modern touch. They offer plenty of choices when it comes to design, colour, and also the level of transparency. They are also as durable as any other type of blind. For those modern houses looking to replace traditional horizontal blinds with something more modern, these serve as a perfect option.
Depending on the aesthetic that you’re going for, the type of blind chosen will also vary. Picking blinds for a bathroom is very subjective. As far as durability, usability, water-resistance, and privacy is concerned, these are all options that you cannot go wrong with. The rest is up to you.
