    Is your body so desireable that people will be congregating outside the house to catch a glimpse of a blurry outline? I'd just not worry about it, and if the ledge and window get wet, wipe them dry once you've turned the shower off. Simple solutions are often the best.

    I once lived in a flat overlooking the flats opposites bathroom. At night with the bathroom light on you could see a lot. A real lot. Which was fine if it was the lady of the house. The gent living there had a some interesting tattoos.:o
  • I don't know how good these are, but we came across some Perfect Fit blinds for UPVC windows, that are a sealed unit with the blind inside the "window". You would need to ensure that the seal on the window with the false window (IYSWIM) is flush, but take a look. http://www.conceptblindsdirect.co.uk/blinds-88.htm?gclid=Cj0KEQjw7vmgBRDdnLPZp7aBlroBEiQA7_NmV28X2SAIFLKD8iFGjgo0IWnmrRurZ8u63x4W4u551dUaAjMq8P8HAQ

    I went for normal blinds in the end as it was bedroom, but would seriously consider these in the bathroom.
  • We have same situation and use a normal roller blind (Dunelm £12ish) outside the window recess. They tend to last 2-3 years before looking the worse for wear, and then we just replace again. No problem x

    you can replace the double glazed window glass unit with one that has a blind ( either venetian or pleated) blind inside the glass. I know because i make them at work and have one in my kitchen. If you want greater privacy but light to come in you could change glass to be pattern both leaves but blind is better
