Hanging new bathroom curtains is more exciting than ever before.  Today, the market is flooded with thousands of options to include style, color, texture, fabric, patterns, and more, with current trends being exceptional.  Every year, different trends develop and while you may prefer to do your own thing, it is fun to see what the most popular options are.  Because trends for bathroom window curtains are incredible this year, we wanted to share some of the more popular options.  Keep in mind, along with choosing one of the trends mentioned or perhaps something else, you could also use the trend as a foundation on which to come up with your own ideas

The bottom line is that for bathroom window curtains there are no limitations, even when choosing one of the most popular trends.  As you will see from the information listed below, opportunities are in abundance this year, which makes it exciting and fun to create an entirely different look for the bathroom window.

•    Elegance – Because the bathroom is no longer “just a room”, more and more people are creating an elegant space, one that looks and feels rich and luxurious.  To accommodate this new demand, window bathroom curtains have been created that add class.  To get this look, the first thing is to avoid using long curtains, a mistake that many people make.  In addition, avoid curtains that cover the entire window opting instead for long valances.  One of the top trends is a long pleated, scalloped valance with tassels.  The look is clean, refreshing, and very elegant, especially when going with certain colors to include cream, sage green, and other softer colors.

•    Traditional – A traditional bathroom décor is still very popular but with an updated twist.  In this case, you would choose bathroom window curtains that cover just below the bottom frame but then add a Roman shade or white vinyl mini-blinds.  With a traditional look, you would have more options for color and patterns but the goal would be to keep things relatively simple.

•    Vibrant and Whimsical – Many people still like themed bathrooms but instead of everything being perfectly matched, you would choose curtains that become the room’s focal point.  In this case, jazzed up curtains against an off-white wall is gorgeous but also fun.  The current trend is to avoid patterns such as fish, seashells, or other themed materials, choosing instead multicolored curtains with geometric shapes.

•    Dots – Polka dots are hot right now, especially for bathroom window curtains and shower curtains.  However, the key is choosing dots of richer colors.  In other words, rather than choose more traditional dots, look for curtains or if making your own curtains, fabric that consists of dots of several colors but those within the same color scheme.  Another option would be choosing curtains of one primary color that features coordinating colors randomly placed.  The nice thing about this trend is that the color of the dots could be pulled into the bathroom in various accessories.  Let us say the primary color of the curtains was brown but the dots were three different shades of green, you could use those three shades for a trashcan, silk flowers, etc.  You could even choose a solid brown shower curtain and then add trim of one of the green colors.

•    Children – We also see a hot trend whereby a children’s bathroom is designed to be appealing to everyone but especially great for the kids.  One example would be curtains with blocks of several different colors, with each block depicting a different silhouette.  For boys, this could be fire trucks, race cars, baseballs, etc.  For girls, the silhouettes could be dolls, teddy bears, ballet shoes, and so on.

Although when updating or remodeling a bathroom you would face a number of expenses, the outcome would be worth it.  One expense is new bathroom window curtains and while you do not need to spend a fortune, because the window is a key focal point in the room, you definitely want to invest enough so it looks nice.  Even a small window is one of the first things people see so the right window treatments are critical.  To help you with the budget, we wanted to provide some information on ways you can save money on new bathroom curtains and hardware so that ultimately, you achieve the look wanted but without breaking the bank.

For one thing, you need to remember that in addition to the actual curtains, there will be the expense for hardware to include rod, brackets, and possibly rings.  Again, you do not need to spend a significant amount of money on these items but at the same time, you want quality. Now, for the curtains and hardware, you can save money by shopping outlet stores and looking at options online.  With smart shopping, you could easily save up to 50% off the normal price so spending a little time to look around is one way to end up with high quality bathroom window curtains and hardware but at a fraction of the cost.

You also want to remember that the actual cost would depend on the fabric, size, and even brand.  Obviously, a top brand for bathroom curtains would be more than an off-brand but again, smart shopping means paying less.  A perfect example is that buying at a high-end department store is probably going to cost more than if you purchased the curtains through a different reseller.  In fact, if you have a store where you prefer to buy, find out if they have an online store.  Many times, the price to purchase items, including bathroom curtains and hardware is less online than shopping in person.

Then as mentioned, it is easy to find outlet stores locally, as well as on the internet.  For instance, many of the medium level stores have outlet stores and while you may find the selection to be somewhat less, it would certainly be worth your time to investigate.  Even the time of year could mean a cost savings when looking for new bathroom curtains, as well as high quality hardware.  As an example, most stores have huge sales at the end of the year.  During that time, they are trying to move old inventory so new items can be stocked.  To you as the customer, this means finding a nice selection of curtains and hardware but at a huge discount.

Overstock sales are also a great way to find beautiful new bathroom window curtains and hardware but without spending a lot of money.  Often, some of the larger companies buy too much inventory, which means they lose money by it sitting.  Therefore, they will mark items down substantially just to sell what they bought too much of.  Again, when looking for new curtains, this is a great way to save money while still having a great selection.  The bottom line is that to create a beautiful space that includes new curtains and hardware, you have an abundance of options.  Even using search engines allows you to search for savings locally or online.

One of the most desirable windows you could have in your home is a bay window, and if you’re lucky enough to have one in your bathroom, you could have anything from dramatic appeal to tranquility. There are a few things to consider though when looking at bay window treatments and some people will say that you don’t even need them at all. For some that may be true if you have one of those views that you simply don’t want to obstruct, but if privacy is of any concern and since this is dealing with a bathroom, you are going to want to look at some kind of treatment to cover them up for those private moments. Don’t get me wrong, the windows themselves are beautiful, but you have a lot of opportunity to add your own personal touch and flair to it with whatever you decide to do with those bay window curtains.

For those that don’t know what a bay window might be, let’s have a little explanation. First off, what it’s not. This window is simply not a window that’s overlooking some beautiful bay of water, although that would be very nice. It’s a window that sits recessed into the wall and the main panel window is surrounded on both sides with separate smaller windows. The side ones don’t necessarily have to be smaller, but they typically are. I have seen some custom built bay windows where each window pane was exactly the same size. But for the typical home, they will tend to be smaller than the main window pane.

Now when you start talking about curtains for bay windows you have a ton of options to think about. One such option to consider is whether or not you want to have full length window curtains or if you would rather go with the half length cafe curtain look. Personally I like the idea of having a full length curtain covering the entire window especially for the privacy aspects you’ll encounter when decorating your bathroom. Due to this, the rest of this explanation will deal with treatments for full length curtains for bay windows.

The curtain themselves don’t really differ from any other curtains you would install in a bathroom, other than they will probably be a little bigger than those for normal windows. So again just choose you’re own style for your bay window curtain. If it’s your style, it can’t really be wrong. But the fun comes in depending on how much spacing is between your side windows and the central window panel. If there’s a lot of space between, you might could even use some different color panel curtains to hang between to hide the wall space between the curtains. If not then you could use some solid panels to cover the entire window. The real fun comes in when you decide on how you want to hang the actual curtain in your bay window. We’ll cover this next.

Bay Window Curtains

If you are trying to keep that recessed look and utilize some of that window ledge space, you really have three types of choices to hang the curtains, with poles, rods or tracks. Let’s take a look at the first option of using bay window curtain poles. These are meant to be a part of the overall decor. They will be visible due to the sheer nature of how they are hung. These poles are shaped to fit the bay window perfectly sitting neatly tucked inside the window. You can use tab top, rings or panel curtains to your liking on these poles. The fun comes in with the look you are trying to create as they are made of many different materials from wood to metal. The neat factor and visual appeal comes in with the use of finials and hanging hardware chosen to hold the poles.

Bay window curtain rods are a little bit different than the poles. These rods will actually fit within the window but inside each window of the bay. Their typically the spring loaded variety but opens up the window a bit more in that it sits inside the window and shows the wall between them. One great thing about using these curtain rods is that you can add that visual appeal solely with the curtains. Picture using 2 different types/colors of curtains for this technique. Think of solid colors on the sides and a pattern for the middle curtain, or vice versa, whatever your taste maybe.

Finally, you could use some tracks to fit your bay windows. These come in both corded and uncorded varities but they do allow you to use some of the more common hooked or grommet type curtains. One thing to note if you are going to use tracks. It’s probably going to be best to use and install the corded versions as since these are recessed windows, they’ll allow for easier operation of opening and closing bay window curtains.
