Translucent roller blind... To dresss a window but not block light?

Have you seen such a thing? My bathroom window is a bit Ug, but I need the light, and there are no privacy issues.
Would like to make it look a bit elegant or stylish or just, well...finished, without losing light.

Can't use window film as the glass isn't smooth.

We found some roller blinds in ikea like this.

We use them downstairs and they are kind of opaque. You can't see in from outside (or much more than vague shapes if the main light us on) but you can see out. I can see the postman coming up the path for example.

I think they are these ones.....

We've used a website called blinds2go. They are very reasonable, have loads of styles including sheer fabrics for dressing rather than complete privacy and are really helpful if you ring them for advice

We just put this John Lewis blind into our new bathroom. It's really pretty, sheer with a very subtle pattern.

cointreau that really is pretty! With the help of MN it looks as though I can defeat the Ug element in the bathroom.

Ive ordered samples from blinds2go, and need to get to John Lewis with my measurements in tow.

Thankyou so much for this input. I will check out the ikea ones too, but don't have a branch very nearby. They sound elegant and good value. I have a trip planned to ikea has to happen in April or May , need to buy a 85cm mattress, so maybe I just need to hold on till then, so I can research all the options. Spoiled for choice!
