What Are the Best Kitchen Window Treatments?

When did you last consider the window treatments in your kitchen? If it’s been a while, there’s a chance the blinds or shades that you have may not be the best choice for the space.

At Alexander Blank Fabrics & Design, we carry several fantastic kitchen window treatment options from Hunter Douglas, and we’re happy to share some of our favorite choices for this vital space in the home with you.

The Value of Blinds and Shutters for Kitchen Spaces

Blinds and shutters are immensely valuable for kitchen spaces due to their versatility and durability. Available in numerous materials and colors, they provide exceptional light control, and their opaque construction ensures total privacy when you want it. 

When choosing blinds or shutters for your kitchen, you want styles that can withstand the heat, moisture, and humidity as well as picking pieces that are easy to clean. Hunter Douglas offers several excellent options for kitchen blinds and shutters.

Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters

Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are a fantastic solution for windows near the sink, stove, or food prep areas because they are waterproof and a breeze to clean. The edited palette of three neutral colors makes it easy to choose and incorporate these shutters into any kitchen décor, and they are compatible with PowerView® Automation for maximum convenience. With cut-outs for sliding glass doors and French doors, you can truly make Hunter Douglas shutters a Whole House Solution™.

NewStyle® Composite Shutters

Consider Hunter Douglas NewStyle® Composite Shutters if you want hardwood's upscale appearance and synthetic materials' durability. They feature the same Truemill® dovetail construction as our 100% hardwood option, which uses interlocking components instead of glue and dowels, to give these shutters robust strength. Shutters attach firmly to the window frame so you can enjoy fresh air on a warm day without the panels moving in the breeze.

EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds

Blinds have a timeless appeal and look great in every interior design. EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds have the upscale appearance of wood blinds but are moisture and stain resistant. Their adjustable slats make them an excellent choice for variable light control and privacy—important for kitchens.

Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds

Kitchens with industrial, modern, or minimalist décor are ideal for Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds. These aluminum blinds are lightweight and durable and resist dust, moisture, and fingerprints, making them a fantastic solution for busy kitchens. Metal blinds are available in several on-trend finishes, including matte and metallic, and micro ½” slats that look fantastic on small or narrow windows.

Which Shades Are the Best for Kitchens?

If blinds aren’t your preference for kitchen windows, there are several shade options. Fabric shades have textural appeal and add depth and visual interest to windows.

Designer Roller Shades

Choose roller shades if you want clean lines and a crisp aesthetic. Designer Roller Shades fit neatly within window frames for a seamless appearance and offer straightforward operation. A sheer or light-filtering opacity is ideal for kitchen windows, or you can upgrade with the Duolite® feature to enjoy an opaque liner and sheer shade on the same headrail.

Vignette® Roman Shades

Roman shades are a timeless classic and look fantastic in various décors, but if you want a modern option, we suggest Vignette® Roman Shades. They have a contemporary aesthetic and are available in rolling and stacking styles. Vignette® Roman Shades are available in full and flat folds, and the top-down/bottom-up style creates an ideal ambiance of natural light and privacy.

Provenance® Woven Wood Shades

Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are an exquisite choice for breakfast nook windows. They offer gentle light diffusion and privacy while providing UV protection. These handwoven shades use natural reeds, grasses, woods, and bamboo, creating subtle variations that give every shade a unique appearance. Add an independent liner for enhanced light control and privacy and give your shades a polished look with a valance or edge banding. Choose from several Roman shade and Vertical Drapery styles.

Duette® Cellular Shades

Duette® Cellular Shades are an excellent way to liven up the appearance of your kitchen windows. Their pleated surface is pleasing to the eye, and a honeycomb-like interior offers unmatched insulation at the window. Duette® Cellular Shades are available with Duolite® or the top-down/bottom-up design and the ClearView® sheers feature, which uses a specialty material to offer an optimal view of the outdoors.
