Problem Solved: A Great Window Treatment For A Bathroom

One thing I love about design for the home is that there is always a challenge (some people call them 'problems') to solve.

One of my clients is looking for a solution for their bathroom window. The window faces a boardwalk, so the window treatment needs to provide for privacy.

But, since the window doesn't need to be closed to views from outside all the time, it needs to have a quick and easy way to adjust light coming into the room.

Lastly,  because the bathroom has various degrees of humidity during the seasons, it should be a window treatment that can hold up to the wettest of conditions.

Problem solved: Since I recently attended a seminar featuring Hunter Douglas products I recalled that their Palm Beach Shutters might answer all the challenges on our list.

With a guarantee to "never warp, crackle, fade, chip, peel or discolor" I think we may have an answer that not only works well, but looks great for years to come!

The last sacred space - The Master Bath

For awhile we were told to create bathrooms for eventual resale purposes.
While I partially agree with that, I also believe the bathroom is a place to show your individuality.

We all wince when we see harvest gold or pink tiled baths (which were obviously someones idea of their dream bathroom a long time ago.)

But you can have your cake and eat it too when you go about designing a new bathroom. You can select surfaces, like the tile above (yes, that's ceramic tile!) to show your love of wood, or make use of an acorn accent tile for a border.

The trick is to know when to stop.
Observe and learn about what is considered classic design.
Steer clear of trendy patterns or bold colors.


What's your idea of a beautiful bath?
