Hey there,

Congrats on your bathroom remodel! We always recommend using frosted glass in bathrooms. They don't dim the light at all (unless they are extremely frosted) and provide necessary privacy. (While clear glass might not bother you, if you decide to sell your home, that clear vs. frosted window could be an issue for the next owner. It's always good to consider resale value and appeal when making any significant changes to your home.)

All that being said... What type of frosted glass did you (accidentally) get? There are varying levels of "frostiness," and some simply look nicer than others. Rain glass, obscured, and acid-etched are a just a few options.

We usually use glass block or some type of glass that provides some privacy. Most people just can't handle a clear glass window in a shower.

I would not suggest frosted glass, but possibly a water glass or antique crackle glass that will bring all that wonderful light into your bath. I am like you and love all the natural light.

I dog sit for friends who have a clear glass window in their shower -- up high enough that privacy is not an issue. It is so pleasant to bathe in that shower when you can look up to see the blue sky and the greenery and flowers and I think, even a palm tree or two (we are in Arizona). In addition to early morning sunlight! So spa-like. Every morning for two weeks I marveled at how pleasant it was!

So I would vote for clear glass in your shower window.
