Best Blinds for the Bathroom and Wet Areas

Why choosing the right blinds for wet areas is so important 

Bathrooms and other wet areas are the hardest rooms in your home to choose indoor blinds for, as you need to consider whether it can withstand the humid environment. 

Select the wrong window coverings and you’ll most likely be met with mould, damage and products not lasting as long as they should. 

What to consider when choosing a bathroom or wet area blind

Material

The best bathroom blinds are typically made of aluminium, synthetic materials like PVC, or acrylic-coated fabrics.

Steer well away from wooden or timber blinds as they absorb moisture, which warps the wood as the grains swell.

Privacy and light control

For a bathroom, slatted blinds are the best option as they give you much more privacy without compromising on incoming light. 

What are the best blinds for bathrooms and other wet areas?

Timber-look Venetian blinds

If you still prefer the look of wood or timber in your home decor, it’s possible with timber-look Venetians!

These faux timber blinds look exactly like the real thing, except they are made out of PVC, a synthetic material that’s much more durable.

Aluminium Venetian blinds

Aluminium Venetian blinds are perfect for bathrooms and other wet areas, as any water will just sit on top of it, or will roll straight off. 

These blinds also have thin slats, meaning that you’ll maintain plenty of privacy without giving up any natural lighting. For an even thinner slat, consider Slimline Aluminium Venetians.

Aluminium Venetians are also available in a range of colours to suit your home decor!

Alternative bathroom and other wet area window covering options

There are other options which can be considered for bathrooms, as long as precautions are made to help prolong their durability. 

Roller blinds

While roller blinds aren’t generally recommended for wet areas, some fabrics can be coated with anti-fungal treatments, making them moisture-resistant and suitable for wet areas. 

Find out more about roller blinds in our blog.

Vertical blinds

Vertical blinds are another versatile window treatment that offers style and functionality in your bathroom.

If you’re opting for vertical blinds in wet areas, choose a durable, acrylic coated fabric that won’t absorb moisture from the air.

Vertical blinds also offer excellent light and privacy control, as the blades both rotate and slide entirely out of the way.
