Kitchen Window Treatment Ideas - Lovitt Blinds & Drapery
The kitchen is often the heart of the home, where family gatherings happen, and parties culminate. It's a place where culinary magic takes place and cherished memories are created. Therefore, it's important to make your kitchen not only functional but also inviting and aesthetically pleasing. One way to achieve this is by selecting the right window treatments for your kitchen. In this guide, we'll explore some of the best kitchen window treatment ideas for 2022, brought to you by Lovitt Blinds & Drapery.
Consider Your Kitchen's Layout
Before diving into the world of kitchen window treatments, it's essential to consider your kitchen's layout and the location of your windows. Some key factors to keep in mind include proximity to the sink, stove, or other food-prep areas where your window treatments may come into contact with water, steam, or grease splatters. In such cases, durability and ease of cleaning become crucial considerations. Options like faux wood blinds, faux wood shutters, or vinyl roller shades are excellent choices as they are both durable and easy to clean with a damp cloth.
If your kitchen windows are in a less vulnerable location, you have a wider range of window treatment options to choose from, such as Roman shades, roller shades in various fabrics, and woven wood shades. Additionally, consider your cooking habits and how much heat enters your kitchen, as some window treatments offer superior energy efficiency.
Over The Sink Kitchen Window Treatments: Cellular Shades
When it comes to kitchen windows situated over sinks or food-prep areas, Duette® Honeycomb Shades are an outstanding choice. These shades are engineered with a cellular design that adds an extra layer of insulation to your windows. This insulation helps you reduce energy consumption throughout the year while maintaining a comfortable temperature in your kitchen.
Duette shades come in a wide range of fabrics, colors, and textures, making it easy to find the perfect match for your kitchen decor. The Duette Duolite® option allows you to combine two fabrics on one shade, offering even more light control. For kitchen patio doors, consider Duette shades with the Vertiglide™ operating system, which provides flexibility in covering large window expanses.
Modern Kitchen Window Treatments: Modern Roman Shades
For those looking to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to their kitchen, modern Roman shades are an excellent choice. These shades blend the softness of drapery with a clean and crisp appearance, making them a perfect fit for contemporary kitchens.
Vignette® Modern Roman Shades offer a wide selection of luxurious fabrics, including fabric-wrapped hardware. These shades come in various styles, including a flat or full fold that rolls neatly into the headrail, ensuring a sleek and clutter-free look. Moreover, Vignette shades have no exposed rear cords, making them a safer choice, especially for households with small children or pets.
Kitchen Bay Window Treatments: Sheer Shadings
Bay windows in the kitchen can be stunning, but they often require unique window treatments. Sheer shadings are an excellent choice for bay windows as they have the magical ability to transform harsh sunlight into a warm and inviting glow. They also soften the appearance of hard surfaces and modern fixtures in your kitchen.
Silhouette® Window Shadings feature the Signature S-Vane™, creating the illusion of vanes floating between two sheer layers. With the vanes open, these shades gently diffuse light while providing daytime privacy. To enhance light control, Silhouette shadings offer the Duolite® option, allowing you to pair sheer shading with a room-darkening roller shade.
Alternatively, consider Pirouette® Window Shadings, which have beautifully contoured fabric vanes that gracefully open and close along with a single sheer backing. With various vane sizes, semi-opaque and room-darkening fabrics, and a plethora of colors and textures, Pirouette shadings are versatile and suitable for any kitchen.
Woven Wood Shades
If you want to soften the look of stainless steel and modern kitchen appliances while still allowing natural light to filter through, woven wood shades are an excellent choice. These shades are crafted from natural materials like bamboo, grasses, reeds, and jute, providing a warm and organic feel to your kitchen.
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are designed to minimize stretching, bowing, breaking, and fading, making them a durable option for kitchens that receive a lot of sunlight. You can also pair them with a room-darkening liner for increased privacy and the opportunity to highlight the texture of the natural fibers. Provenance shades even offer a Roman-style liner that operates independently from the front-facing fabric, providing better light control.
Kitchen Sink Window Treatment Ideas: Faux Wood Blinds and Shutters
For windows near the kitchen sink and other food-prep areas, where splashes and spills are more likely to occur, it's essential to choose window treatments that are not only stylish but also easy to clean and highly durable. Faux wood blinds and faux wood shutters fit the bill perfectly.
EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds offer the luxurious look of real wood blinds with realistic grain patterns. These blinds come with a TruGrain® finish, ensuring they won't fade, yellow, warp, or bow, even when exposed to steam and extreme heat during cooking. Cleaning them is a breeze – simply wipe them down with soap and water.
Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters, on the other hand, are made with a UV-resistant Polysatin compound, guaranteeing they'll never warp, crack, fade, chip, peel, or discolor, even in the harshest kitchen conditions. While they may look like finely painted shutters, they are more stain-resistant than genuine hardwood.
