Kitchen Window Treatments

The kitchen is one of the busiest and most functional rooms in a house.  Choosing the right window treatment can bring out the beauty of your windows while adding light control and privacy.   When choosing Kitchen Window Blinds, Shades or Shutters there are four things that need to be taken into consideration; Lighting Control, Aesthetics, Privacy and Maintenance.    

Lighting Control 

UVB and UVA radiation from the sun is not only harmful to us but also to our homes. Direct exposure to the sunlight will fade wooden floors, cabinet finished, leather, furniture and fabrics

Kitchen Window Blinds, Shades and Shutters provide protection for your kitchen and everything that’s in it.  Kitchen Window treatments come in a wide variety of fabrics, metals and wood.  Depending on the style and material you select you can opt to allow a lot of light into your room or opt for a blackout solution that minimizes the amount of sunlight that passes through.

Aesthetics

Kitchen Window Shutters, especially Shutters for the Kitchen, are a perfect solution to bring out the beauty of your windows.  Whether you decide on shades, wooden shutters, or blinds; window treatments can bring out the best of your color scheme and décor.  

Privacy

Depending on the amount of traffic outside your house, sightlines into your house from the street or neighbor’s window, and location of your kitchen in your home, privacy might not be a top priority when you’re shopping for window treatments.  You might not think that privacy is such a big deal until you realize what your neighbor or passersby can see while you’re working in the kitchen or trying to enjoy a meal.  To address this, choose blinds, shades, and shutters that allow you to keep the view in and your neighbors out.

Maintenance

The kitchen is one of the busiest rooms in a house and one of the most challenging when it comes to window treatments.   Not only do window treatments need to be functional and look good, but they also need to be easy to clean and maintain.  A well-used kitchen will have additional grease and humidity from cooking, odors from the last meal you prepared, and swings in temperature than other rooms in your house don’t experience.   All of these environmental factors take their toll on your furnishings and decorations as well as your window treatments.   When choosing window treatments for your kitchen, they need to be durable and easy to maintain.
