3 Window Treatment Ideas for Your High-End Kitchen

Window treatments for kitchen windows should be functional as well as beautiful. They may need to provide privacy or sun protection. They may just need to soften the area and be pretty. You can accomplish both with these 3 options...

Option #1: To Freshen the Space, Choose Faux Wood Blinds or Shutters

Shutters and blinds are great for spaces exposed to moisture, heat, and light. You can find many blind and shutter options made with composite materials that resist fading and warping.

If you like the look of wooden blinds but are concerned about moisture, faux wood blinds are a good alternative. They are more resistant to moisture and are easier to clean. Because they are easy to maintain, they are the go-to choice for many homeowners.

Plantation shutters are a stylish and durable option for kitchens. They can be adjusted to control light and ventilation and provide a timeless look to the space.

Option #2: For a Timeless Style, Choose Roman Shades

One of my favorite options for kitchen windows are Roman shades. They can be functional so that complete privacy can be achieved or faux where they look like they function but actually don't. 

Faux shades soften the space by adding color and texture. Because they sit mounted above the window, they are out of the way of splashing water from the sink. They can also be mounted close to the ceiling to draw the eye up and make the room look taller. 

Best of all, they can add just a pop of color! Roman shades can be a great choice for kitchen window treatments. They offer a sleek and versatile option that combines the elegance of curtains with the functionality of blinds.

Option #3: For Ultimate Light-Filtering Flexibility, Choose Sheer Shades

Sheer shades have been around for years and are making a comeback, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. They're a great choice for the flexibility they offer for light control and privacy. 

Unlike Roman shades (which are either open or closed), sheer shades can be rolled completely into the headrail so that the window is all the way exposed, but with the vanes open to filter light or down with the vanes closed to block the window completely. 

They also come in a variety of fabrics that can be subtle or vibrant, offering many options to match any decor. Roman shades can be used in combination with other window treatments, such as curtains or valances, to add layers to your window decor and provide additional light and privacy control.

When choosing a kitchen window treatment, be sure it matches the design and aesthetics of the room. Sheer shades are more suited for traditional or transitional homes. Roman shades can be either sleek and modern, textured and rustic, or anything in between, depending on the fabrics/trims used and the style of the shade. Most importantly, it needs to meet your functional needs for the area.
