Bathroom Window Curtains Can Make Your Bathroom A
More Inviting Place
One of my favorite projects has always been to sew curtains.
Knowing how to make your own curtains really increases your
ability to decorate the house. After all, curtains are one
of the most bright, noticeable, and decorative elements in
interior design. What is so great about curtains, however,
is that they are also one of the easiest things to make.
Making the right curtains for my bathroom decor, however,
was a little bit harder than usual. Not that there is
anything hard about making bathroom window curtains in
themselves. They are every bit as easy to sew as normal
curtains. You can even use no sew curtains to make things a
little bit easier.
The problem with bathroom window curtains has to do with the
typical design of a bathroom. Most bathrooms have small
windows. Good bathroom window curtains have to both preserve
privacy and maximize the amount of light. Ideally, a
bathroom window curtain will also brighten up the design of
the room. After all, most people are short on bathroom
decorating ideas. Bathrooms tend to be such dull drab places
that any swatch of color will be a welcome addition.
Most people use typical Venetian blinds for bathroom window
curtains. These solve the problem of preserving privacy
while letting in light admirably. You can even get airflow
through the bathroom with Venetian blinds. The problem is
that these bathroom window curtains do not add a splash of
color. They are actually some of the most dull and boring
curtains that exist. They get dusty and gray, and even at
their newest they do not look very pretty. In short, they
will do nothing to make your bathroom a more welcome or
inviting place.
I designed my own bathroom window curtains. I stayed away
from most of the traditional window curtain designs.
Instead, I made my own unique design. The bathroom window
curtains were actually made up of strips of fabric. They
would hang down sort of like a beaded curtain. I made the
bathroom window curtains out of a heavy fabric so that the
wind would not disturb them overly much. There are gaps
between them to let in light while preserving some privacy.
In addition, you can open the bathroom window and let in air
through the curtains. Really, the design works something
like a sideways Venetian blind. The advantage is that it
looks much better. I don't think my bathroom window curtains
would work well on a large window, but they are great for a
small one.
