Kitchen Window TreatmentKitchen
windows are typically more functional than decorative. They
serve to light up the kitchen during the day and also to allow
air to circulate after cooking. For a kitchen that is used
often, you want to consider window coverings that do not
obstruct the kitchen windows. |

Mini blinds aligned horizontally are a popular choice for
the kitchen. They typically take less space than full size blinds
and can be easily rolled up and down daily. Additionally, many
kitchen windows tend to be smaller than living room or dining room
windows which lend themselves to be perfect for mini blinds.
Another option is to use sheer curtains. These curtains
should be able to be parted easily on a daily basis. One thing to
consider is that if you do use your kitchen to cook often, you may
want to consider curtains that can be replaced or dry cleaned
without emptying out your pocket book.
Fabric shades are
also an option for kitchen windows. Fabric shades allow you to make
fine adjustments to both the degree of privacy and amount of light a
room receives because it can be lowered or raised to any level.
These shades tend to be more economical since they generally use
less material than curtains.
Still, another suggestion is to
not use any window treatments or coverings at all. Or perhaps a
simple valance that hangs on top of the kitchen window is enough.
This is possible for kitchens with smaller windows that do not have
any privacy concerns.
Before you decide on the right window
covering for the kitchen, make sure you determine how often you will
use the kitchen for cooking and how much privacy you need. There are
many choices in window treatments that will beautify and add
function to your kitchen window.
