Kitchen Window Treatment
Kitchen 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.
