“Keep it Private” – Cover your obscure windows too!
Many of our customers ask for their Obscure windows to be excluded from being covered with any type of Window covering. There are a few reasons why we advise to not leave these poor guys out and the benefits of having them covered are helpful.
When it comes to window coverings for your bathroom, there’s probably not an area of your home that is more important when it comes to privacy. It’s important for your peace of mind but also for maintaining an appropriate level of intimacy. Adding blinds or shutters can help strike a balance between privacy and natural light.
When going through your choices, it’s important to keep in mind that even obscure windows need to be covered.
Those small windows often go overlooked, but they can still provide an uncomfortable level of visibility, either from the outside or when you’re using the bathroom within. During the evening, when lights are on, shadows pass through that can still be seen from the outside. Sounded just like the beginning of a novel, but then again I’m sure your neighbours would have a story to tell after seeing you in the bathroom!
Certain materials, such as light-filtering blinds and even Aluminium Plantation Shutters, can offer a sense of seclusion while also maintaining a decent level of natural light. After all, the look and feel of your chosen covering should fit in with the rest of the home’s decor and should also be chosen with ease of maintenance in mind.
Blinds and shades are some of the easiest to clean and keep looking like new, while curtains are beloved for their ability to soften a room’s look with textures and patterns.
Considering all the options you have, there’s no reason to overlook any windows when it comes to your bathroom. With the right combination aesthetic and privacy, you’ll never worry about nosey eyes again.
