Choosing the Best Kitchen Window Treatments
Even if you’re not a fan of cooking, you spend a fair amount of time in your kitchen every day. Make it a pleasant space by adding Hunter Douglas window treatments that bring style, privacy, and optimal light control. Let the design specialists at Shelly’s Interior Concepts help you choose window treatments to create a kitchen that looks good enough to eat. Read on to learn the ins and outs of choosing the best kitchen window treatments for your home.
Aesthetic Appeal
The first thing to consider when choosing the best kitchen window treatments is aesthetic appeal. Window treatments are great for softening the hard surfaces and harsh angles found in a kitchen. Designer Roller Shades are easy to clean and are available in many fun patterns and textures. A sheer fabric would look fantastic and let ample amounts of sunlight into your kitchen. If you’d like the option of some extra privacy, Designer Roller Duolite® Shades combine a light-filtering sheer and an opaque liner on a single roller. Custom top treatments are an excellent way to highlight windows where you may not want the coverage of a complete treatment.
Increased Privacy
The first thing to consider when choosing the best kitchen window treatments is privacy. You may think kitchen treatments aren’t a necessity, but your mind will quickly change when you realize your neighbors can see you eating breakfast in your PJs. EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds are ideal for temporary privacy needs. You can quickly close the slats or adjust them to have the exact amount of light and privacy you need. Duette® Honeycomb Shades and Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are fantastic options for more consistent privacy. Honeycomb shades provide superior insulation to help keep your kitchen at a comfortable temperature. Woven shades are the way to go if you want texture and an earthy vibe.
Let the Sun Shine!
The third thing to consider when choosing the best kitchen window treatments is lighting. Natural light improves your mood and makes interior spaces look their best. Sunshine isn’t so great when you’re blinded by the setting sun's glare while trying to have dinner with your family. Designer Screen Shades are specifically designed to control glare, heat, and UV rays while still allowing you to enjoy your view of the outdoors.
Keeping Things Clean
The fourth thing to consider when choosing the best kitchen window treatments is maintenance. Window treatments near your stove or sink will be exposed to food and grease splatter, moisture, and cooking odors. The material you choose will make the difference between a quick clean-up and a tedious one. Many fabrics from the Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery collection can be laundered at home. You can wipe down vinyl shades and faux wood blinds or shutters with a damp cloth. Genuine hardwood looks terrific but doesn’t do well with moisture and must be conditioned with quality wood oil. Lastly, any window treatment with specialty trims or banding will likely need to be dry cleaned. Carefully consider how much time and effort you’re willing to put into maintaining your kitchen window treatments before deciding.
