Window Blinds – How to Choose and Measure Bathroom Window Blinds

Deciding Upon the Perfect Window Blinds Treatment

There are many different decorative options you can use for your bathroom window blinds, from shutters to curtains to Venetian blinds. The main difference between curtains and blinds is that curtains open horizontally whereas blinds open and close vertically.

Not only do window blinds provide privacy and regulate the natural light into your bathroom, but they also add an important decorative appeal to the room. Other things that you should consider are the function of your window blinds if, for example, they are purely decorative, then you don’t need to purchase a more costly hanging system.

Your budget and overall theme of your bathroom will also determine your stylistic choice.

Are your window blinds aiding in your relaxation, improving lighting conditions, or there to increase privacy? Before choosing the type of blinds you will use, first look at the shape and style of your particular bathroom window in order to determine your decorative alternatives.

Some common window types are sash windows, French windows, casement windows, picture windows, and bay windows. These all vary in size and scope so you need to adapt your window treatment accordingly.

When selecting windowblinds for your bathroom, it is important to consider the size of the window, the type of fabric and cord, and whether or not you need privacy shades.

If you have a smaller window, you may want to consider vertical blinds. These are made from a single piece of fabric that hangs down from the top of the window. They are easy to install and provide privacy without blocking sunlight or views. If you have a larger window, you may want to consider horizontal blinds. These come in many different styles and can be customized to fit your needs. They provide more privacy but may not block sunlight as well as vertical blinds.

The four main styles of blinds are:

Venetian Blinds: are slatted window blinds. These are the most common when people think of blinds and can be made of plastic, wood, or metal and can hang both inside and outside the windows frame.

Roman Blinds: some subtlety overhang the window frame and are made from gently folded layers or material.

Design Preference Will Determine the Position of Hanging Track

Roller Blinds: hang inside the window frame. They are flat simple pieces of material that you roll up or unroll to open or close.

Gathered Blinds: are made of gathered folds of fabric ( forming a number of scallop shapes at the bottom) to give your bathroom a more sophisticated feel.

Before you begin measuring for blinds you first need to decide on the position of the hanging track. It should be noted here that it is better to overestimate when calculating the amount of material you will need because it’s easier and more economical to trim the material than to buy anew.
