Window covering for bathroom

4 years ago

I always seem to want something that is just not made. Yes, it's usually because it is impractical or some other nonsensical reason, but I don't think that's the case on this one.

Here is what I'm looking for today. Window covering for a bathroom located on the first floor. It's on the side of the house that doesn't get much traffic, but does need some degree of opaqueness for privacy.

Ideally 1.5"-2.5" horizontal slats (as in blinds) possibly top down bottom up. Here's the catch. I really want something that is textural, like bamboo or rattan, so, woven look. I would do a bamboo roll up or roman shade, but want something that works more like blinds. The closest I have found is textured fabric blinds. I really don't think this would be that difficult to make. Just make the blind slats out of something woven that will be flat, like a blind slat. Is that too much to ask?

Am I the only person that would like this product? Even if the woven part is just glued on to the more rigid blind part, as long as that doesn't make it too thick, would work. I guess I could experiment and cover a few slats of a blind with burlap, raw silk, rough linen, but I am whatever the opposite of crafty is. Every DYI I've attempted looks like CRAP when I'm done with it.


If I can't find this, what else can give me a unique look? Is there something I haven't thought of?

So, a bit rustic, unique, textural, with the privacy requirements of letting in light uniformly.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
