Choosing Kitchen Window Treatments
The kitchen is a hub of activity, so its window treatments need to handle moisture, grease and everyday wear and still look good. Easy-to-clean blinds and light-enhancing shades both work well here.
Look for moisture resistance, easy cleaning and good light control: materials that handle splashes and steam stay attractive for years. For hard-to-reach windows over a sink or counter, motorized blinds are worth a look, and energy-efficient window coverings help keep the room comfortable.
Comparing materials? See faux wood vs. real wood blinds and honeycomb shades vs. Solera® soft shades. Kitchens with arched windows or bay windows can have specialty blinds made for a custom fit.
