We have seen in this article how window treatments are both purposed and decorative. If you have a walled shower, most designers have opted for a blind effect that is functional and charming. The open concepts are privy to drapery and valances that also accommodate the design of your home. The size of the window will effect the chosen length as does the ceiling height. If you have lower set ceilings opt for a shade or valance that allows the space to be proportioned. A taller ceiling is balanced with longer drapes and decorative shades bringing a vertical sense to the style.

When choosing your own window treatments, you will find a variety of options are available to you. They keep the room consistent, private and serve as a decorative gem within your own bathroom design.
