Window Advice: The Kitchen

Your kitchen is a space where meals are prepared, conversations flow, and memories are made. Choosing the right kitchen window treatments can enhance your kitchen's style and functionality. From natural light control to moisture resistance, here's what to consider when selecting the best window coverings for your kitchen.

1. Consider Light and Privacy

Natural light is essential in the kitchen, but too much sun can create glare while cooking or make the space too warm. Adjustable window coverings like kitchen window shutters or blinds allow you to regulate light while maintaining privacy. Shutters, in particular, offer excellent control—tilt the louvers to let in the perfect amount of sunlight.

2. Choose Moisture-Resistant Materials

Kitchens are high-humidity areas, and window treatments should be able to handle moisture and temperature fluctuations. Faux wood shutters, aluminum blinds, and vinyl roller shades are durable and resistant to warping, peeling, or mold—ideal for a busy kitchen environment. Woven wood shades with a protective liner can also provide a stylish and functional solution, offering both texture and resilience.

3. Easy Maintenance is Key

Cooking can create grease and food splatter, so easy-to-clean window treatments are necessary. Kitchen window shutters are a great choice because they can be easily cleaned. Alternatively, roller shades made from wipeable fabrics provide a sleek look with minimal maintenance. Blinds with a smooth surface, like EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds, are also easy to clean and resist stains, making them a great choice for high-use areas.

4. Enhance Your Kitchen Décor

Your window treatments should complement your kitchen décor and overall design aesthetic. For a classic farmhouse feel, opt for white plantation shutters. If you prefer a modern look, consider sleek roller shades in neutral tones. Choosing custom fabrics and colors allows you to match your window treatments with your cabinets, countertops, or backsplash for a cohesive look.

5. Safety First

Cordless or motorized options provide a safer alternative to traditional corded blinds if you have young children or pets. Modern kitchen window treatments offer cordless designs or automated operation for added convenience and safety.
