Bathroom Features: Create an Ideal Space

If you have a room in your home that seems ‘design neglected,’ it’s probably your bathroom. Choosing new bathroom features can seem like a monumental task. Oftentimes, clients postpone bathroom decisions because they are intimidated by the list of variables to consider. If controlling the light, privacy or humidity concerns are holding you back from making improvements, we can help.

Winning Combination

Privacy + light are two of the most important elements to consider when updating bathroom features. To fully enjoy the comfort of your space, implement ways to give the space an open feel and privacy in one.

By utilizing the correct window coverings such as plantation shutters with split tilt, you can allow light in through the top of the window and still enjoy privacy at the bottom. As for shades, try top down bottom up, always a client favorite. 

Window Direction Dilemma

The topic of window direction is always up for discussion especially when updating bathroom features. The direction your windows face can have a direct impact on the comfort and needs of the space. There are many factors to consider when choosing window coverings that go beyond privacy + light. Allow the experts to evaluate your home and suggest solutions that will create the perfect atmosphere for your bathroom.

How to Dress Large Windows 

Floor to ceiling windows look gorgeous, but will definitely cause privacy issues–especially in your bathroom. With any large window, the right choice in window finishings can help create the ideal look and atmosphere. Enjoy both your view and your privacy by adding bathroom features that function purposefully.

The use of designer shades resembles art when drawn closed and allows for light and landscape views when raised. What an unexpected bathroom feature. Add smart shades to gain more control and transition effortlessly from open to closed. 

The Styling of Small Spaces

In the case of small windows, try styling with neutral window coverings. This will give the illusion of a larger space. Small bathroom windows covered uniformly will make the room feel less stuffy and closed up.

And remember: When adding bathroom features to a small space, it’s important to consider adjustments. Having the ability to open and close window shades quickly and with ease will benefit you most in a child’s bathroom, a guest room or a powder room. Get in, get out–no muss, no fuss.
