Ideas for Kitchen Shades
We’re in our kitchen every day. Weekdays and weekends. Holidays and regular days. It’s a fundamental part of our household routine and our home’s ambiance. So, look around this keystone room and ask yourself, what’s working and what needs to be replaced? If your answer involved updating the window treatments in your kitchen, we’ve got expert advice from our team of designers. Read on to learn more about our ideas for kitchen shades for homes.
Ventilation
No matter how good the cook, on occasion every kitchen needs to be aired out. Ideas for kitchen shades that permit natural air flow are clearly more attractive than other more restrictive treatments because of the specific usage of kitchen space. Plantation shutters and Venetian blinds both use a slatted construction style with spaces between their louvers and vanes respectively. These openings provide easy to access ventilation while still being able to simultaneously control incoming light and provide privacy if needed. Slatted window treatments for kitchens from Hunter Douglas involves:
- Shutters: Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters make great shutters for kitchens thanks to their built-in resistance to moisture, heat, and mold – all of which can poise unique hazards in a kitchen.
- Blinds: EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds allow homeowners to effortlessly open up kitchen windows either by tilting their vanes to create circulation or raising the blind to the top of the window frame for unobstructed air flow.
Easy to Clean
Kitchens can be notoriously difficult to clean because of the grease and grime of cooking that can feel like it gets almost everywhere. Easy-to-clean options easily land on our top ideas for kitchen shades because no one wants dirty shades and no one wants to spend their free time scrubbing kitchen treatments to keep them clean. Easy-to-clean window treatment options include:
- Shutters: The hard louvers of interior shutters are more stain resistant than fabric treatments and easier to clean with simple dusting and wiping sufficing for routine care. NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters in particular are adept kitchen window treatments because of their advanced materials that were designed for heavy traffic rooms.
- Roller Shades: Of all the fabric-based window treatments, roller shades are the easiest to clean thanks to their flat front and streamline design. Their vertical inclination means less surface area for dust to land on.
Responsive Light Control
Not only do kitchens often host a wide array of activities as a central hub in many homes, they are also rooms that are used at all times of the day, from early mornings to late nights. So, the best ideas for kitchens shades include models that can be responsive to different lighting needs throughout the day. To maximize flexibility for this heavily trafficked area of the home, there are many benefits to upgrading to a Top-Down/Bottom-Up operating system so that, no matter what angle or intensity natural sunlight is coming in with and no matter what activity is happening in the kitchen at that time, the shades are able to respond accordingly to block or provide natural illumination as needed.
Top-down / Bottom-Up Operating System Available on:
- Alustra® & Provenance® Woven Treatments
- Applause® & Duette® Cellular Honeycomb Shades
- Solera® Soft Shades
- Vignette® Modern Roman Shades
