Kitchen Guide: Window Treatments and More
The kitchen is an integral part of every home, where a welcoming space for cooking, dining, and gathering is essential. However, when you consider interior design for kitchens, it can be more daunting and challenging than some other rooms in the home to create a cohesive design style. At The Shade Shop, we specialize in Hunter Douglas window treatments that elevate your kitchen's style and functionality. Here's how to create a complete look for your kitchen, starting with how to choose the perfect window coverings.
Choosing the Right Kitchen Window Treatments
Selecting the best kitchen window coverings can be challenging; it's important to consider factors like durability, moisture resistance, and the overall aesthetic when you are choosing window treatments for your kitchen. Thankfully, Hunter Douglas offers a wide variety of kitchen-ready window treatments:
- Moisture-Resistant Shutters: Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters offer the look of real shutters with the added guarantee that they will never warp, crack, fade, chip, peel, or discolor, even in extreme heat or moisture. They're also easy to wipe clean from any food splatter.
- Easy-to-Clean Option: EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds have the realistic grain patterns of real hardwood, but they're made with a TruGrain® finish, so they're guaranteed against fading, yellowing, warping, or bowing. This makes them an ideal window treatment pairing in the kitchen, as they're easy to wipe clean with just soap and water.
- Perfect for Kitchens with a Lot of Light: Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are a great option for kitchens. They can soften the look of stainless steel, and if your kitchen gets a lot of sun, they're known to hold their shape well, even in harsh sunlight.
Interior Design Tips for Kitchens
Window treatments are just one piece of the puzzle when designing your dream kitchen. Here are some other factors to consider:
- Lighting: Lighting is crucial for creating a functional workspace for cooking. Combined with the natural light from your window treatments, consider adding under-cabinet lighting and statement pendant lights over your island or dining area.
- Color Palette: A cohesive color scheme will tie your kitchen together. When choosing countertop appliances and decorative accents, consider colors that will complement the window treatments, backsplash, countertops, and cabinets.
- Functional Layout: An efficient layout starts with easy pathways to the most frequently used cookware and appliances. To maximize the workspace, consider multifunctional appliances to maximize countertop space and consider storing larger, less-used appliances in cabinets.
- Decorative Accents: Add personal touches that tie in your color scheme, such as anti-fatigue mats, plants, and wall art.
