Roman blinds for bathrooms - should I worry about moisture?

We are doing up a bathroom and I really like the look of roman blinds. However, it seems hard to source moisture resistant ones. Is this something I should worry about? Are there any materials that are better to go for? As they are more expensive than other blinds I want to be sure I am making the right decision.

I would just go for normal ones - I've never had any issue with this. Maybe open the window occassionslly if you're concerned? Should be fine.

I have roman blinds in all my bathrooms all made with "normal" fabrics. The ones in my en-suite are pure silk, all have been up nearly 5 years and are all fine.
I love romans in bathrooms they make them more homely and less clinical IMO.

Same here. I made Roman blinds for all my rooms including the bathroom, using curtain weight materials (Skopos fabrics), and I cannot see any difference between them with regards to wear and tear. Love them!

Great, thanks - that is really encouraging. Just ordered some sample fabrics so will see how they turn out!

I'd be worried about Roman blinds going mouldy in the bathroom. We have a special water resistant one which is really good but I can't remember where we got it from. I'm sure you could google blinds for bathroom and you'd find one.
