Practicality is key in bathrooms as your Blinds face a constant battle with steam, condensation, and humidity. In this article, we’ve compiled our top tips for choosing the best Blinds for bathrooms based on the questions we receive, and the features you should be looking out for.
Are Wooden Blinds Suitable for Bathrooms?
Whilst real Wooden Blinds such as Bamboo Blinds are best avoided in damp or humid environments as it can stain, warp and even twist over time, there are some fabulous and realistic-looking Faux Wood Blinds suitable for bathrooms. The high-quality PVC makes them 100% waterproof and effortlessly wipe clean, so they’re perfect for any bathrooms and you won’t have to worry about moisture damage.
Our made-to-measure Faux Wood Blinds bring you all the styles of real wood. With painted finishes, textured grains and shades from classic to contemporary, these will look great anywhere. Plus, they’re resistant enough to deal with even the most challenging environments.
What’s The Best Fabric for a Bathroom Blind?
The best fabrics for bathroom Blinds are PVC and polyester due to their water-resistant qualities, such as certain types of Roller Blinds, Shutter Blinds, Vertical Blinds and Faux Wood Blinds. PVC Bathroom Blinds are genius in areas prone to dirt and are easy to wipe clean. Keeping them clean regularly, PVC Blinds will look as good as new for years to come. Many of our most popular designs are available in a polyester fabric, including our Scion, Sanderson and Harlequin ranges.
Just as real woods aren’t the most suitable for a bathroom, there are a few other options that should be avoided like cotton, linen and silk. The moisture can get caught in the fibres and the results aren’t very pretty. This includes mould building up as well as the fabric fraying if they’re not properly maintained.
Should I Choose Blinds Over Curtains in a Bathroom?
Blinds are generally more suitable than curtains in bathrooms as they’re just so much more practical, and more often than not, they’re made from fabric that can be wiped down without having to remove it. We feel like we’re pointing out the obvious here, but there’s a reason you never really see Curtains in the bathroom.
Are Roller Blinds Suitable for Bathrooms
Roller Blinds are suitable for bathrooms, with a range of waterproof Roller Blinds available that can handle splashes whether they’re raised or lowered. We love using them to create a statement piece or accent colour in an otherwise plain room. You can also add character with a range of beautiful floral, geometric, and striped patterns to turn your bathroom windows into a stunning focal point at every turn!
If you’re looking for additional privacy, Double Roller Blinds feature a blackout and magic screen Blind in a singular fitting for the best of privacy at night and precise light control throughout the day.

Which Blinds Are Best for Direct Sunlight?
Faux Wood Venetian Blinds are a great choice if your bathroom has bright light coming through the window. The rotating slats are excellent at directing away sunlight yet still allowing light to gently filter into the room when opened.
Are Day and Night Blinds Suitable for Bathrooms?
Day and Night Blinds are a great choice for bathrooms as they consist of horizontal strips of opaque and transparent fabric that block the view to the outside or light to flood into your space when they’re aligned.
If your bathroom is overlooked by other windows and you don’t want to completely shade the whole of the window, you can easily adjust the light filtering into the bathroom by moving the strips through their precision side winder control.
Are Vertical Blinds Suitable for Bathrooms?
PVC Vertical Blinds are ideal for larger bathroom windows in bathrooms, and are made from waterproof PVC in a range of contemporary colours to match your scheme, blending style and practicality.

Are There Other Waterproof Blinds I Should Consider?
Our Shutter Blinds work wonders in bathrooms, as they’re made from an advanced polymer that doesn’t warp, shrink or crack under the pressures of humidity. With their rotatable slats and outside frame, privacy and light control aren’t an issue.
Especially suitable for bathrooms with tall windows due to their outside frame that prevents light seepage in comparison to other types of Blinds, there’s also no drill options that clip directly to your uPVC windows, meaning you can enjoy the benefits of versatile shading in moments!
