When choosing a kitchen window treatment, think about the style, material, and function. Read on and view our gallery to help choose the best window treatment for your kitchen!
Best Window Treatments for Kitchens
Faux Wood Blinds
Faux wood blinds are moisture resistant and won’t warp, making them the perfect choice for humid areas like kitchens. They are also incredibly easy to maintain, which is a must in spaces that can get messy. Simply dust them regularly with a cloth, or for a deeper clean, wipe them down with a cloth and warm, soapy water. Their easy-to-clean design ensures that they stay looking fresh even with the hustle and bustle of kitchen life.
Mini Blinds
Making breakfast in your pajamas on a lazy Sunday morning is a lovely way to start the day – but not if your neighbors can see directly into your kitchen! Install mini-blinds for quick access to privacy. Mini-blinds are affordable, sturdy, and fit both traditional and contemporary styles. These fashionable materials allow some sunlight into the room while blocking outside views into your kitchen.
Woven Wood Shades
Woven wood shades are a popular kitchen choice. They provide texture and eclectic style, but similar to Roman Shades and Cellular Shades, they should be kept out of your splash zone to keep them clean and fresh.
Roman Shades
Roman shades for kitchen windows do their best work quietly — softening a room built mostly of hard surfaces, without getting in the way of counters or the sink. A light filtering Roman shade keeps the space bright and airy while still holding privacy.
