Comparing Blinds vs Shades for Your Bathroom
Blinds are popular bathroom window treatments because they offer a trifecta of features ideally suited for this room’s function: light filtration, privacy, and natural airflow. While bathroom blinds meet the space’s needs, they aren’t your only option. Hunter Douglas makes multiple styles of bathroom shades that you can tailor to elevate your restrooms. Our team at Fine Shadings & Decor is here to help you better understand your choices by comparing some standard bathroom blinds and shades.
Bathroom Blinds vs. Bathroom Shades
Hunter Douglas makes three styles of Venetian blinds: Parkland® Wood Blinds, EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds, and Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds. For the bathroom, we like using EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds for their engineered durability and ability to withstand a bathroom environment without fading, discoloring, warping, or bowing. They also come in over 50 different colors and finishes and have the optional upgrade to decorative tapes to match your existing aesthetic, pulling the room together.
In this blog, we’ll compare EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds with other Hunter Douglas bathroom window treatments, including shutters, banded shades, sheer shades, and woven wood shades, to help you find the best window coverings for your Florida home.
Bathroom Blinds vs. Banded Window Shades
Designer Banded Shades and bathroom blinds share a similar linear aesthetic, with horizontal vanes that create a bold and clean style. Banded shades, unlike blinds, are made of softer materials, including sheer textiles and opaque fabric vanes. Both window treatments for bathrooms also excel at privacy, obscuring the view without completely blocking light, making the room feel private yet open.
Bathroom Blinds vs. Shutters
Bathroom blinds and shutters share a similar slatted design that uses tilting vanes to control incoming sunlight, provide privacy, and allow for natural airflow. Unlike blinds, shutters are cord-free and safer for homes with children and pets. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are ideal in restrooms for their built-in resistance to UV and moisture. Additionally, you might find shutters easy to dust or spot-clean.
Bathroom Blinds vs. Sheer Shades
Both sheer bathroom shades and blinds appeal to homeowners because they offer a simple sense of sophistication and nuanced ability to control natural sunlight. The sheer base layer of the shades filters out harmful UV rays and protects your home’s interior, differentiating itself from typical bathroom blinds. The sheer component also gives the bathroom a softer look and ethereal aesthetic.
Bathroom Blinds vs. Woven Wood Shades
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are some of the most unique bathroom window treatments, thanks to their textiles woven from organic materials like wood, grasses, and bamboo plants. Their nature-inspired aesthetic is like the natural charm of using wood finishes on your bathroom blinds but with a softer overall style.
