Bathrooms have always been a place for comfort and relaxation. The look of a bathroom can vary, depending on wall decorations, paintings, paints, pieces of furniture or even tiling to make your stay in the bathroom as relaxing as it can be.

opens the room up and creates opportunity for more natural light which is more beneficial than artificial light for many different reasons.

Creating more natural light in the home can lead to higher productivity, more creativity and a better sleep schedule. As humans, our eyes and brains function much more efficiently when we are around natural light rather than artificial light.

Before heading to a shop to buy windows, take some time to learn some important terms for windows:

• flashing– material installed on windows in order to prevent water from entering the gaps;
• mull– to adhere windows together;
• muntins– separates the sash into smaller parts of glass;
• R- value– number that represents the insulation capacity. If you are opting for higher insulation, get the ones with a higher number. and
• sash- the frame that holds the glass window; the number of hung windows is the same number of frames.

Also, consider these factors in choosing the best glass window for your bathroom:

Energy efficiency- the capacity of a window to reflect radiated heat back to the room; the more efficient the window, the better as it captures natural daylight to warm a certain room. Using highly- efficient windows are better for bathrooms to dry tiles and avoid molds.

Environment– Consider having two or three-pane glass windows that has spaces in between. The air between these panes insulate the room.

Installation- When choosing windows, consider the path of water when the bathroom is being used. It is important to use flashing tapes to seal the installation of windows.

Placement- Choosing the best place for your window is an important factor as you want the view of nature but you also want privacy. Some windows can be placed high above the wall or on the ceiling to get natural light in and still secure your privacy. Some can be glazed to let natural light in but still allow you to enjoy your privacy.

Ventilation- Some pictures in our gallery show windows that are operational, meaning they can be opened to let air in. However, some windows show a magnificent view but are fixed, meaning they cannot be opened. Most pictures in our gallery show tubs near a window. In this case, a tempered glass is most recommended for safety purposes.
In the picture below, there are two operational windows and one fixed window with an option to glaze.

I like the view but I also want privacy. Is there a way to get these two?

If privacy is one of your big considerations, here are some options you may consider:

Glass apps– glasses are applied with self-adhesive smart film. After this, the glasses can be controlled to be opaque or transparent using a control. Seen on the left image are windows that are opaque while on the right, the glasses were controlled to be transparent.

Frosted glass– To improve privacy in your bathroom, you may opt for frosted glass windows which can come in different designs. These glasses diffuse and scatter light but still illuminate the room. If you already bought transparent glass windows, you may use frosted window films that can be used to have the same effect without replacing your existing glass windows.

Here in our gallery, our only investment is windows, large windows that showcase the beauty of nature that can be seen from these gorgeous bathrooms.

40 Primary Bathroom Window Ideas

Here are 40 primary bathroom window ideas. Many bathrooms have windows. Bathroom windows are a little tricky because you want both light and obviously privacy.

Bathroom windows require a little more thought and planning than windows in other rooms in your home.

While you want as much natural light as possible, you also want to ensure privacy. This means you’ll want to consider the view of each bathroom from outside and from all angles, especially from angles where other people may be such as neighbors, passers-by all while taking advantage of letting in the most amount of light.

Options for privatizing windows:

If you have close neighbors, you can always

• use blinds,
• install curtains,
• use sanded glass/stained glass which brings in light but people can’t see the details, and/or
• place the window high up in the room.

I’m not big on sanded glass because it also means you can’t really see outside.

Our gallery of primary bedrooms with windows below include all of the above options as well as many types of window design ideas for your bathroom.

In my view, if you will need to close up your bathroom window, blinds are the best option because they look good and are very easy to open and close and you can still enjoy the view.

Bathroom window placement

Often you don’t have a lot of window placement options because it’s rare to place a window in a shower or above bathroom sinks or next to a toilet. This leaves very little wall space for a window.

That said, our gallery below does include examples of windows next to a bathtub and even in a shower. If you go with a window in the shower or next to a tub you definitely want to ensure there’s sufficient privacy.

Other bathroom window design considerations:

• Frame color
• Window size
• Number of frames
• Frame material
• Number of panes
• Does it open/close and if so, is it sliding or swinging?
• Shape: Bay or flat?
• Glass type: Regular, brushed, block glass?

If you’re planning a bathroom renovation or designing a bathroom, check out the huge variety of primary bathroom window ideas below.

1. Glass Block Windows

Glass block windows were popular in the 1980’s. While I’m not a big fan, they are a viable bathroom option because they offer light while protecting privacy.

2. Large Window with Roll-Down Blinds (Next to a Tub)

Any bathroom window can be made private with any type of blind. This bathroom uses a roll-down blind which is not quite as convenient as regular blinds.

3. Classic 3-Frame Window Next to Bathtub

When possible, placing a window next to a tub is a nice touch. In this case you can tell there is sufficient privacy that this window need not have blinds.

4. Large Bay Window with Valiance Next to Tub

For the elegant touch go for a bay window next to a tub. It’s fairly ornate but if that’s your style, it works.

5. Pair of Corner Windows with Blinds Wrapping Around the Tub

I like this simple window look. White-framed windows with white blinds framing the freestanding tub.

6. Wood Framed Window Next to Tub with Roll-Down Blind

Here’s another example of a roll-down blind on window next to a tub.

7. Floor-to-Ceiling Framed Window Spanning Full Wall Next to Tub

This is a fabulous bathroom window which spans floor to ceiling the entire width of one wall next to the bathtub.

8. Skylight Windows in Attic Bathroom

Skylights are a good bathroom lighting option although in this case I’m not sure they provide much privacy unless this is the tallest building around.

9. Large Plate-Glass Windows from Tub to Ceiling

I love plate-glass and this is a great example of one wrapping around a corner tub.

10. Ship-Style Round Window with Wooden Frame

For the ship-theme, go for a round bathroom window.

11. Window Placed High Up on the Wall for Bathroom Privacy

Placing a bathroom window high up is a great way to get light and have privacy. This is an excellent example.

12. Bathroom Shower with Window

Here’s an example of a shower with a window. It’s not typical, but if there’s sufficient privacy it’s a very cool bathroom feature.

13. Arched Windows Flanking Bathtub

If you like the Mediterranean style, arched windows provide that in a bathroom.

14. Traditional White-Framed Windows Wrapping Around Bathtub

I absolutely love these bathroom windows. I like the white-framed windows and the fact there are so many of them surrounding the tub. Look at how much light they let in the bathroom.

This is a spectacular bathroom window. It’s a peak design next to a tub. It’s so large it makes the large tub look small.

20. Solarium Window Next to and Above Bathtub

There’s not much to dislike about a bathing solarium. While a bit dated, this is awesome.

21. Flat 3-Frame Window Spanning Length of Bathtub

If you have the privacy, there’s nothing like a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows in your bathroom. Being on the water, this home can do this. It’s spectacular. It is odd, howeve,r that the bathroom is situated in the primary bathroom. I’ve seen this before. In fact, I lived in a home where the bathroom was placed openly in the primary bedroom.

31. Window Next to Bathtub with Privacy Screen

Here’s a great privacy option on windows in the bathroom – a simple privacy screen that covers the lower part of the window.

Square windows aren’t common, but this one looks pretty cool next to the tub at the end of the bathroom.
