WINDOW DRESSING
How you cover your windows in a bathroom rather depends on the way you use the room. If there are several people in the household and you all have long, hot showers with the window and door closed and have no extractor fan, you’ll find it tricky to stave off black mould. If this is the case, you need to have as few soft furnishings in the space as possible and should consider shutters. Try The Shutter Store (shutters.co. uk) for great-value, top-quality designs. A curtain should only be considered if you’re prepared to really ventilate the room. Once you’ve had a bath or shower, you need to get the area dried out as fast as you can. Roller blinds are another option and you can get ones that are mould-resistant. These are better for bathrooms, but as they are rolled up, they can be hard to keep dry.
