I have Roman Shades which can be opened from the top or bottom. That way you can have privacy and still let light in at the top. It has worked well for me. Shop around for the best prices on the web. Happy hunting for whatever you decide.

I skipped the shade and used the stick-on stained glass stuff they sell just for this. The light that comes in is amazing and nobody can see you from the outside!!! Then I put a 1" blind over that so I can change up the light/effect.

roman blinds will mildew so be careful with that and wood blinds can warp over time. You could just use that film that looks like frost that is sold at Home depot. There are so many designs also.

I used a pillow sham, cut a 1/2 circle at each end of sham, insert window hanger, walla! I have one of those small long window, makes almost like a shade, liked the size for what I have, if you need larger, use both pillow shams

Is your window in the bathtub surround? That can really make a difference as to your choice. Older homes always have a window there it seems, and if there is a shower, it can really cause problems!

I used a scrap of material from a Goodwill lace curtain to make a stencil the size of the window area to be covered. I taped it to the window with painters' tape. T

Then I spray painted over the lace with flat white paint, giving the window pane and etched look. Remove the stencil and now you have privacy and light. Added bonuses are no curtains to clean and the paint will scrape right off if you don't like it.

I would not use fabric in an area of such high moisture. Why not use the press on "stained glass" or scenic panels (trimable to size) or spray paint with "frosted" glass spray. Windows remain functional so moisture can escape and keep mold/mildew a thing of the past.

I used a tension pole and got some light plastic curtains and hung them up to reduce the strong sunlight at some times of the day. You can draw them when u want the light to enter. The plastic ones are waterproof and could stop rain from entering as well as mine are fixed lourved windows that cant be closed. A tension pole is gd because you don need to drill holes but getting the right length needs some looking around.

I would use string curtains, cut them to the length you need and leave them hanging or tie a knot in them for a gathered look. They are an extremely econimical idea... I use them in my conservatory and they create some privacy but let in loads of light.
