How to Choose Kitchen Shades for Your Home
Window treatments for the kitchen can be tricky. Since kitchens can be both a popular gathering place and a space where messes can accumulate, you want window coverings that effortlessly combine form and function. That’s where Hunter Douglas and Laura’s Draperies, Bedspreads, and More can help! We have a wide selection of hard-wearing kitchen window shades that look beautiful in any home.
What Should I Know About Buying Kitchen Window Shades?
These three guidelines will help you select the best kitchen shades for your space:
Functionality Matters
First things first: Kitchen shades should control light and protect privacy. If the windows face a sunny direction, look for materials that filter light effectively without completely darkening the room. For more privacy, add a light-blocking liner.
Kitchens often get hot and humid from ovens, stoves, and boiling water. We recommend window treatment materials that hold up to heat and moisture; hardwood blinds might not work since wood absorbs moisture. Also, look for easy-to-clean materials, particularly if your windows are near sinks and appliances; the coverings could get splashed by food, oil, and other liquids.
Kitchen Shade Style and Design Compatibility
Your kitchen shades should complement the overall design of the room. For instance, we like window treatments with clean lines and neutral colors for modern or minimalist looks for spaces that favor modern and contemporary decor. If your kitchen leans more traditional, consider treatments with subtle patterns or textured fabrics. But every kitchen decor scheme differs, so an in-home consultation is your best bet.
Automated Convenience
For added convenience, consider integrating technology into your window treatments. You can open, close, adjust, or program with PowerView® Automation, the Hunter Douglas motorization system. That way, your kitchen will have the perfect balance of light and privacy with minimal effort. Imagine how helpful this system is when your hands are busy cooking or cleaning, allowing you to focus on what matters most.
