Issues to Consider When Choosing Kitchen Window Treatments:
First and foremost, you need to identify the issues that you’ll want your kitchen window treatments to address or handle. This will determine what “function” you focus on when searching for the perfect combination of window treatment features. Are your kitchen windows in a splash zone? Will they come into contact with water, excessive or consistent steam, food splatter, etc.? If you do have windows in the splash zone, you’ll want to consider using window treatments that are water safe and easy to clean like faux wood blinds or shutters, or vinyl roller shades. These window treatments can be wiped clean with soap and water (and they won’t warp with heat or humidity changes). Other issues you may want to consider in regard to function of your kitchen window treatments could include accessibility (how hard are the windows to access and will you be able to reach them to adjust the shades or blinds), safety (cordless options are usually a good idea), installation (consider your window structure and make sure the product you are considering is suitable for your windows), mount (some window treatments have options for interior or exterior mounts), etc.
Once you’ve considered how you want your kitchen window treatments to function, it’s time to consider some of the different options currently available.
