4 Bathroom Window Treatments for Virginia Homes

Your bathroom window deals with steam every day, and it also has to give you privacy. Humid Virginia summers make that harder, so the treatment you pick should handle moisture well. We've measured and installed window treatments in Fairfax since 1987, and these four bathroom window treatment ideas are the ones we suggest most for bathrooms.

Bathroom Shutters for Full Baths

Shutters are our first suggestion for a bathroom with a daily shower. Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are guaranteed not to warp, so they hold their shape through a Virginia summer. You tilt the louvers to let light in and close them when you need privacy.

A café style covers only the bottom half of the window, which keeps daylight coming in above eye level. If you have a photo of the trim around your window, bring it. The frame is part of the look, and we'll go over bathroom shutters and frame styles before we measure.

Bathroom Window Blinds for Guest Baths

Blinds work well in a guest bath or a kids' bathroom, where you want something simple. Bathroom window blinds like Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds give you the look of wood and handle moisture, and metal blinds come with a slimmer slat.

Because the slats tilt, you can angle light away from the mirror and still keep the window open to daylight, and if kids use the room, cordless lift is worth asking us about.

Bathroom Shades for Sunny Windows

A west-facing bathroom window can get bright and warm by late afternoon, and light-filtering roller shades are one of the simplest bathroom shades for it. They cut the glare and keep daylight in the room, and you can pick a fabric to match your towels or paint. Running the exhaust fan after a shower clears the steam.

When the window sits above a tub, motorization saves you from leaning over the water to reach a cord. Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation runs on a schedule you set once, from an app, a remote, or your voice.

Soft Roman Shades for Powder Rooms

A powder room usually has good ventilation and very little steam, which makes it a good spot for something softer. Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades fold into even pleats, and a light-filtering fabric keeps the room private while it lets daylight in.

If you'd like the window to glow when the sun hits it, ask about the sheers and shadings collection.

Which Option Fits Your Bathroom?

Start with how much steam the room gets. A full bath with a daily shower suits shutters or faux wood blinds, and a powder room can take a softer shade. Think about who can see in, too, since many bathroom windows face a street or a neighbor.
