Best Bathroom Blind Ideas For 2024
Feb 19 2024
Bathrooms are the one room in the home that every family member has to use, without fail. Whether it’s a downstairs toilet or a lavish en suite, these spaces are constantly in use, with moisture and humidity a given.
So, what are your options in terms of blinds for the bathroom window if you’re planning to redecorate or spruce things up in 2024? Well, this month at Your Blinds Direct, we’re going to provide insights into what you need to consider, the best waterproof blinds and discuss whether blinds can go mouldy in bathrooms.
Bathroom Blinds: What to consider
You can approach your choice of bathroom blinds from a variety of angles to ensure you get the very best, including:
Functionality
You want functional blinds in this busy room, making it easy to adjust for lighting and privacy at any given moment. This means selecting a blind style that doesn’t require a delicate touch or lots of cords and pulleys to negotiate.
Aesthetic options
More often than not, people like to keep their bathroom decor simple and clean. That’s usually white with darker contrasts or a pale blue to accent the space. However, a growing trend in interior design for bathrooms is the use of less common colours, such as pastel pinks for a retro character or creams that evoke a sense of Scandinavian spa luxury.
Practical considerations
Of course, one of the most important things to bear in mind is the level of moisture and humidity in any bathroom. From splashes at the sink to steam from a hot shower, the blinds you choose will need to stand up to these conditions to last long term. It helps to check for blinds that use moisture-resistant materials to give you additional peace of mind.
A combination of all three of the above will help you find the perfect blind for your bathroom.
What are the best waterproof blinds for bathrooms?
Here are Your Blinds Direct, we have a dedicated category for bathroom blinds to help you narrow down your search for the perfect blinds. You can use this category to select your chosen style and find moisture-resistant fabrics before placing an order for made-to-measure bathroom blinds.
Here are just a few of our best bathroom blinds for 2024:
Blossom Venetian blinds
If you’re looking to style your bathroom with dark greens and a subtle pink for a muted, retro feeling, our Blossom Venetian blind is ideal thanks to splash-resistant materials and the ability to wipe them clean quickly.
Palette Pearl Senses roller blind
Get the simplicity of a roller blind, making it easy to keep your bathroom space private. Our Palette Pearl Senses option gives you a delicate, clean colour to match a variety of design styles and comes with moisture-resistant fabric.
Sailboat blackout blue
Another fantastic roller blind option, but this time with a touch of personality thanks to the nautical theme that will pair fantastically with bathrooms. Our Sailboat blackout blue blinds feature moisture-resistant fabric and have the highest blackout fabric rating, allowing you to close the blinds, light some candles and take a peaceful soak in the bath.
Atlantex white vertical blind
Looking for the pure, white and sanitary feeling from your bathroom decor? Our Atlantex white vertical blinds offer that crisp and clean visual, with moisture-resistant fabric and control over the privacy of your bathroom.
Do bathroom blinds go mouldy?
Bathroom blinds do have the potential to go mouldy if you don’t choose with quality and practicality in mind. This is because the fibres in most fabrics will hold moisture, building up and eventually turning into mould. The same applies to windows that become damp or have any standing water on the sill — blinds can soak up this moisture if left unchecked.
Here are a few tips to help you keep your bathroom blinds free from mould:
- Choose moisture-resistant or splash-resistant fabrics – This helps limit how much moisture your blinds hold.
- Clean your window area regularly – Dirt and standing water in windows contribute massively to the spread of mould and mildew.
- Ventilate your bathroom – Without freshly circulating air, your blinds won’t have a chance to dry, meaning that they retain the water and provide a breeding ground for mould.
Our final tip is to ensure you only buy the very best quality blinds for the bathrooms in your home. At Your Blinds Direct, we craft made-to-measure blinds by hand right here in the heart of the UK, using decades of experience to deliver a superior product and a precise fit. We’re members of the British Blind & Shutters Association (BSSA), meaning you can count on us when choosing our bathroom blinds for your home in 2024.
