What Blinds are Best for your Bathroom?

-

Unlike all the other rooms in your home, the window treatments in your bathroom are mainly for privacy.


The bathroom is wet and humid, so choosing blinds that create privacy but are also practical is a must. You need to choose window treatments that are easy to use and can withstand the moisture in the room. It’s also best to choose blinds that are easy to clean as the humidity of the room can create mould and mildew, which is never a good thing!

Because of this, using drapes or curtains in your bathroom will never work, plus bathroom windows are usually small, so having so much material is useless.

However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t have fabric window treatments at all in your bathroom. Shades are a great option because they create a warm, soft feel, but you need to pick carefully to avoid having a mould or mildew problem.

Another material that shouldn’t be used in your bathroom is wood. Wood has tiny cracks in it that let in moisture, so wooden blinds will eventually start to warp and once that happens there is no way to fix them!

If you really love the look of wooden blinds in your bathroom then consider using bamboo blinds or install some high quality faux wood blinds.

Two of the best blinds to install in your bathroom are either aluminium blinds or roller blinds.
Aluminium blinds are a good option because they are clean and offer straight lines, plus they come in a range of colours and are rust-resistant.

Roller blinds are easy to use and create a lot of privacy in your bathroom. They are also easy to wash and maintain and they’ll never warp!

How to clean your mini blinds without taking them down

Clean mini blinds without taking them down to avoid leaving windows uncovered. Blinds collect dust, insect debris and stains from spills and splatters. Window coverings and pull strings can also get discoloured over time. Even routine house cleaning like dusting and window washing can soil the blinds. If they’re taken down to be washed in a tub or sprayed outdoors, they have to dry before going back over the window. Step 1. Open the blinds and let them down all the way. Pull the bottom out from the windowsill and let it fall to expose all the slats. Step 2. Vacuum the loose dust of the slats. Use a brush attachment on the end of the hose and vacuum as much dirt off the tops and bottoms of the slats as possible. Step 3. Pour an ounce of antibacterial soap into a bucket with half a gallon of warm water. Slid the cloth around the slat and slide it from side to side. Do this with each and every one. Do not forget to clean the pull strings as well. The bleach and wat

The difference between Wood Blinds & Faux Wood Blinds

If you want to transform the look of your living space then installing window treatments such as wooden blinds is a great idea!  However, when you've decided whether to choose wood blinds or faux wood blinds then you’ll need to take into account the room you’re installing them in and how big the windows are. The difference between these two types of blinds is the material they are made from. Wooden blinds are made out of real wood and come in a range of different stains as well as stains. These blinds are suited better for larger windows because they are lighter in weight and since the wood will warp when in a room with high humidity it is not recommended to install wooden blinds in your bathroom. On the other hand, faux wood blinds are made out of composite PVC and come in a range of different colours, paints, and stains. If you choose a stained look for your faux wooden blinds then it’ll have a more realistic wood look. If you want to install wooden blinds in your bathroom t
