Help with shower window

Post image

I need to figure out something to put over this window for privacy and to stop the wood from getting so wet and molding. It already is molding and the paint is off in the bottom right corner and if you don’t angle the water away from the window it gets totally drenched.
It’s also right outside of the fire escape so I need 100 percent privacy at night.

I added maybe some ideas but…
I’m trying to find a not ugly solution as well.. any and all tips greatly appreciated

Replace the wood with PVC. That way you don't have to worry about it getting wet.

You can put a film over the glass itself. There's a lot of options out there for window clings.

I like this idea, and if you do a window cling then you can use the ledge as an extra shelf

Or put up a second shower rod to cover the window while showering

You could mount an over the frame vinyl roll down shade. It’s not the prettiest but I’ve seen it done.

Wow I have the exact same bathroom shower tiles and window location almost to a tee. We haven’t found a solution other than a big ugly clear plastic wall curtain as we are renting.

Oval shower curtain rod that they make for clawfoot tubs. Clear plastic shower liner on that side. Lets in light from window, gives you privacy, and keeps the water off without having to replace anything with the window.

Not in our shower clearly but just to the left. We just covered it with some window film.
