Kitchen Window Treatment Ideas You’ll Love

Kitchen windows often go neglected when it comes to their coverings. Still, with all of the time and energy spent in the kitchen, plus all of the hazards unique to the home kitchen, the window treatments in your kitchen are essential. There are so many fun and effective ways to style your kitchen windows; you’ll never have to cook or enjoy your morning coffee in front of a bare or boring window. Bell’s Ethan Allen Design Center carries Hunter Douglas window treatments that will elevate your cooking space to the next level of functionality and style.

Kitchen window treatment ideas, Hunter Douglas, Vignette® Roman Shades near Newburgh, New York (NY)

Sheer & Simple

Sheer curtains don’t offer much privacy, but we love the gorgeous glow they give when the sun shines through. Available in many opacities, sheer shades are a great choice if you want to tone down the light in your kitchen. You can keep the sun out of your eyes and enjoy a kitchen a few degrees cooler when shaded by the sun. Sheer panels can be used in any decor style or color scheme without worries of clashing. This fabric also looks fantastic in shorter lengths, making it excellent for any kind or size of the kitchen window.

Coordinate Your Rooms

When you find a print you love, you should use it in as many places as possible! The beauty of Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery from Hunter Douglas is that you can have your window coverings made using any of hundreds of fabric choices. Coordinating the curtains in your kitchen with those in your dining room can give the whole thing a classy, cohesive look.

Go with a Layered Look

Create a cozy morning haven in your breakfast nook by pairing a bamboo shade with lightweight linen or cotton curtains. This pairing looks fabulous in rustic or farmhouse-style kitchens with neutral color schemes. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades also allow just enough natural light to help you start your day without blinding you first thing in the morning.

Achieve Balance with a Valance

Top treatments are often thought of as not having much to offer since they only cover a small portion of your window. But don’t count valances out as not being valid on their own. Valances can hide architectural eyesores, make your windows appear more prominent, and help to tie decorative elements together.

Roman Style

Roman shades are classic, timeless, and look elegant and refined when both raised and lowered. Vignette® Roman Shades are available in several opacities and fabric options. If you spend a lot of time in your kitchen, you may enjoy the Duolite feature from Hunter Douglas that allows you to have a sheer shade and an opaque panel installed on a single housing.

Shutters

Shutters add character and sophistication to any window and can be mounted inside the window frame if space is tight. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters make a fantastic addition to kitchen windows because the advanced material is impervious to moisture and humidity. Splash soapy sink water all you’d like and let your simmering sauce splatter away; these shutters won’t bat an eye. These shutters are as easy on the eyes as they are to clean, and what’s not to love about that?
