Window treatment for large bathroom window

11 years ago

last modified: 11 years ago

I have a window in my master bathroom that is very cold but could potentially let a lot of natural light in if I could keep the blinds open a bit. Currently there are metal blinds on them. I would like to get some kind of bottom up blinds instead. I'm overwhelmed with variety of products available. Any suggestions? I want to let the light in but keep full privacy on the bottom half of the window where the blinds would be covering. I live in a condo neighborhood and this window is on a third story overlooking the main drive way through the neighborhood and I have a neighbor who is almost directly across from my bathroom window.

Depending on your decor, plantation shutters may be a good choice as you can adjust them for light but prevent neighbors from looking in.

Once the remodel is done the bathroom will be contemporary/modern.

Do they allow light yet keep your privacy? (I am worried about people being able to see into my bathroom when I'm indisposed)

Duette Architella honeycomb shades Top down bottom up will give you the privacy and insulation you are looking for. Also the Vignettes roman shades are a nice choice. You will need to choose the semi opaque options (not sheer or room darkening) to give you full privacy, but still allow light to filter through. One important thing to consider is the the lift system. Since it's over a tub, you will not want cords hanging. You can choose cordless or remote controlled options. There are even retractable cords called Ultraglide that stay the same length always.

The first question you have to ask yourself is what is your needs and your budget. There are so many choices, by answering these questions, this will help narrow your options. Another Idea not mentioned is Hunter Douglas Top down/bottom up, lined woven woods. The wovens come in so many different patterns and colors. This option could bring nice texture into the room.
