A freshly tiled bathroom needs blinds that can cope with steam as well as they cope with the new look. For this client in Bearsted, we fitted two white Fauxwood Venetian blinds — one on the wider window, one on the narrower opening — recess-mounted against large grey marble-effect tiles in a modern refurb.
Real timber would warp in a wet room. Fauxwood keeps the clean Venetian look and shrugs off humidity, so the finish stays straight after showers and baths.
The specification
- Product: Two made-to-measure Fauxwood Venetian blinds
- Finish: White, to match modern bathroom fittings and chrome hardware
- Fit: Inside each window recess for a flush, tiled-in look
- Rooms: Refurbished bathroom with shower and wall-hung WC
- Location: Bearsted, Kent, near Maidstone
Each blind was sized to its own opening — different widths, same finish — so the pair reads as one design across the tiled wall without awkward gaps at the sides.
Why Fauxwood suits a bathroom refurb
Bearsted homes often pair new bathrooms with large windows for daylight. That light is welcome, but privacy facing neighbours still matters. Venetian slats tilt for soft daylight or close for privacy, and raise clear when you want the full glass view for cleaning.
Fauxwood is the practical choice in steam-prone rooms: moisture-resistant, wipe-clean and stable where real wood can swell. Against grey marble tiles and chrome, white slats stay crisp without fighting the contemporary scheme.
As a fully registered BBSA member, we fit child-safety devices on relevant blinds as standard.
