Bathroom Curtains
Everyone needs privacy. No one wants to be exposed at their most vulnerable moment, especially when being naked. With this said, the bathroom is supposed to be a place of privacy and solitude. But it can't be if your windows are not covered with a frosted glass or a bathroom curtain.
Bathroom curtains are different from the types of curtains you buy for your living room or kitchen. They need to be heavy enough to provide privacy when necessary, but light enough to let sunlight come though. You don't want a curtain that makes your bathroom bleak and dark!
There are multitudes of styles and colors to choose from. Here are some tips that can help you when making your purchase:
1) Coordination - When deciding to buy bathroom curtains consider buying a whole theme or set of coordinating pieces to tie your colors together. Sometimes curtains have matching rugs, shower curtains and accessories that can be purchased separately. This will save you a great deal of time, since you can get everything you need with minimal effort.
2) Fabric Choice- The material you select for your bathroom windows must be able to withstand the humid, moist, damp atmosphere of the bathroom. Make sure the fabric is mildew resistant. You also don't want to select fabrics that are dry clean only, since they probably can be damaged by the moisture and water in the typical bathroom. Try to select easy to clean and wash fabrics such as cotton.
3) Measure the length- Take care to measure what length you want your curtains to be. Floor length curtains are not a great idea, since the bathroom again is a wet place. You don't want your curtains hanging in a puddle where they can potentially get mildewed. Since children also tend to use the bathroom by themselves you don't want to tempt them with a beautiful curtain to play with after they finish do their business. Pick shorter lengths for your peace of mind.
4) Shop for the best bargain - Although department stores do carry bathroom curtains as well as discount outlets, purchasing your bathroom curtains online gives you more options. The selection online is virtually endless, a one stop shopping place where you can get everything you need. Using the internet also allows you to price curtains from different distributors. Most major department stores are online, with internet only deals.
Choosing Bathroom Curtains For Windows
There's not a lot of things one can do to decorate the bathroom and that's where getting the right bathroom curtains for windows can really help your room stand out. Once you have chosen your general decorating theme then you want to really put some thought into the window treatments because bathrooms are so small that the window itself really stands out.
There is one easy way to go and, of course, that is to get a matching shower curtain and window curtain. This will help tie the whole room together in a cohesive theme, but it's not always possible to find a matching set in the colors/theme that you want so you might be left to pick a window treatment that compliments instead of matches.
When choosing bathroom curtains for windows, you want to take the size and shape of the window into consideration. Most bathrooms have smaller windows and for this, a café style curtain can add a splash of color as well as some privacy. If you want a more open look to the window and want to let the maximum amount of light in, you might opt for just a valance to cover the top.
If you have a fancy bathroom with large windows, then you might even consider drapes or long curtains or sheers. Either way you want it to be something that matches the colors you have chosen for the bathroom.
If you have a certain theme in your bathroom, such as tropical fish, or palm trees, you might choose curtains for your window that have this theme on them. However, you want to be careful that you don't make the room too busy. If you have patterned wallpaper then, it's probably best just to go with a solid color curtain but be sure to go with a color that matches one of the colors in the wallpaper. Also, a solid color shower curtain in the same shade will look nice.
Choosing bathroom curtains for windows doesn't have to be a big ordeal. Just know what your decor and window measurements are ahead of time and you should have a good idea of the type of window treatment you need. Take a swatch from the wallpaper or shower curtain (or paint sample if you have solid painted walls) with you when you go shopping and try to match the colors in your curtains to what you already have. Remember always to be consistent in design and color and you're sure to have a bathroom that will be the showplace of the neighborhood.
