What Are the Best Coverings for Kitchen Windows?

For many homes, the kitchen is the heart of the household. It’s a room that’s part of our daily lives and where many special gatherings end up on holiday occasions. Dressing windows in the kitchen is crucial to establishing a home’s feel, but it can also be tricky with the room having several unique requirements within the household. Come with us as we shop the Hunter Douglas collection for our favorite shutters, shades, and blinds for kitchen windows.

Blinds for Kitchen Windows, Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds near Granite Bay, California (CA)

Moisture Resistant Window Treatments

Moisture matters as water damage is really expensive to fix. Humid climates like that in California as well as wet rooms in the home, such as the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room, need moisture-resistant window coverings to last. Happily, several styles of shutters and window blinds for kitchens can last for years.

  • Faux-Wood Blinds: With Performance Plus™ Protection, EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds for kitchen windows can withstand humidity and UV with no discoloration, warping, or bleaching of the slats.
  • Vinyl Shutters: Vinyl shutters designed by Hunter Douglas, like Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters, were engineered to be moisture resistant for years of hassle-free use.

Easy to Clean Window Treatments

Kitchens get dirty, it’s just par for the course in one of the busiest rooms of the home. Therefore, many preferred styles of window treatments for the kitchen are styles that are easy to clean. Roller shades from the fabric side and composite shutters are some of the easiest-to-maintain window treatment styles in the Hunter Douglas collection.

  • Roller Shades: Thanks to their flat front, roller shades are generally thought of as the easiest fabric-based window covering to clean, and they come in a wide range of styles for personalized looks individualized to each kitchen.
  • Composite Shutters: NewStyle® Composite Shutters require minimal routine maintenance to preserve their pristine look and optimal performance, with most unforeseen messes being easily wiped away with a damp cloth.

Light-Loving Window Treatments

Kitchens might be used day or night, so new kitchen treatments must respond to a wide range of lighting needs. Sheer shades and hardwood blinds for kitchen windows both provide a spectrum of light control.

  • Hardwood Blinds: Blinds for kitchen applications are ideal because they have a duality of movement. They can both tilt their slats open or closed to allow in or block sunlight. Or using a pull cord system, hardwood blinds can be opened and closed from the bottom up for unimpeded access or complete privacy.
  • Sheer Shades: With the smart use of translucent fabrics that can blur the view but allow in natural light, there are multiple styles of sheer shades from Hunter Douglas that are appropriate for kitchens, including sheer curtains from the Design Studio™ collection and modern soft sheer treatments like Silhouette® and Pirouette® Sheer Shades.
