Smaller, compact bathroom spaces can often feel dingy, this is usually due to only smaller window bays being installed in bathrooms for air flow, rather than for decoration and view. This doesn’t mean though that your bathroom needs to feel small, with the right window dressing, your small bathroom windows can be beautifully styled and bring light into your room, opening it up for a more spacious and relaxed feel throughout.

We’ve put together this handy style guide to help you choose the best blind for your small bathroom windows.

Which blinds are suitable for bathrooms?

When designing your bathroom and choosing your new blind fitting, it’s important to factor in the functionality and practicality of the room. Smaller bathrooms will have to deal with the impact of steam and water, more so if your window stands near to your bath, shower or sink. Therefore, the best material you can choose for your bathroom is waterproof blinds. These are the best option to avoid any damp or mould developing on your new blinds, and keep your bathroom looking like new.

Waterproof blinds include Faux Wood, PVC Roller and Vertical blinds , so there are certainly a wide range of styles, textures and colours when it comes to deciding on your new bathroom blind.

What are waterproof blinds?Waterproof blinds are designed to withstand any amount of water and humidity, making them have longevity in your home. PVC fabric doesn’t absorb water, which makes them the ideal choice for bathrooms. They are also one of the easiest blinds to clean as they are very durable, you can simply wipe them down with a wet cloth or sponge in one easy go!
