Bathroom window glass options

We’re replacing the windows in our late 1960s house. White upvc for various reasons.

We are divided on what finish to get for the bathroom ones. I’m happy with satin which is what we chose for the glass panel next to our door downstairs. Light and clean and modern looking. My husband likes the look but also wants to be able to see the contours of the trees and general scenery outside which satin will prevent (we live in a very leafy area). I don’t care about this but we’re spending a lot of money and it’s clearly really bothering him!

We currently have a pleasant but dated looking leaf design which neither of us want to repeat. I wondered if Stippolyte or Cotswold or even Minster might be a good compromise. We need to let the company know by Monday at the latest so grateful for any thoughts!

We went for stippolyte, it has a stippled effect which is smaller than the larger waves of minster.

What would the original windows have been? We had Arctic put (back) into our 30s house and it seems pleasingly appropriate but not dated or likely to date because it’s not fighting with the style of the house.

Thanks both.
@MoreThanRubiesI guess whatever was popular in the late 1960s for the original. Stippolyte or similar seems ok on that basis.

Satin. We have it in all of our windows that need to be obscured and while yes you can’t “see” through it and everything is just a pleasant blur.
its a bathroom, you’re not going to stand in there looking out, you need the privacy and anything other than satin means you’ll have a blind pulled down when in the shower anyway
