Five Surefire Ideas For Kitchen Window Treatment
Get creative and bring out the focal point of your kitchen decor by updating your kitchen window treatments. Always consider the size of your window before deciding on a new treatment and choose one that is right for the
color and design of your kitchen.
Kitchen window treatments are no longer limited to the classic cafe and lightweight curtain style. You can now choose a style depending on how
much privacy you want or how much light you want coming into your kitchen.
1. Wood Shutters for a Country Look
The favorite window treatment for a country kitchen decor is the interior wood shutters. The shutters, which open and close easily, are easy to install and maintain and are available already painted or you can
paint them the color of your choice
2. Popular Blinds and Mini-BlindsThe perfect finishing touch for your kitchen decor and also the most cost
effective is blinds or mini-blinds. This durable and versatile window treatment not only adds color to your kitchen, but it can also be adjusted to allow the
sunshine in or out.Many different colors of horizontal or vertical custom blinds are available in wood, aluminum, fabric, faux wood, composite and vinyl. Aluminum and faux wood are both highly recommended for the kitchen because they do not get damaged when wet and are also easier to clean. If wood blinds are used, do
not place them near the sink or stove.Tip: If you decide on blinds for your kitchen window treatment, make sure they
can be washed with soap and water. If you choose a wood style, make sure it has been treated for kitchen conditions.
3. Add Elegance With Roman ShadesRoman shades will add a quality of refinement to your home decor. The
shades, which are made of bamboo, rattan and other natural fibers, will also provide efficient insulation and keep out the glare. The
shades, which can be used with or without drapes and curtains, will be a great addition to your kitchen.
The tasteful style of pleated shades allow more privacy and are very economical. These shades are available in a variety of textures,
colors and weaves.Tip: Clean your shades regularly by dusting or using a specially designed vacuum attachment. Use only cleaners recommended by
your seller.
4. Brighten Up Your Kitchen Decor With a Valance or Swag
For a single window treatment where there are no privacy concerns, either the valance or swag make an elegant choice. Both the valance
and swag can be used alone or with an existing window treatment and are available in a wide array of textures, colors and fabrics.
If your choice is a fabric treatment, choose synthetic or durable fabrics that are fire-resistant and machine washable. Fabric with small prints
and light colors are best for small windows.
5. Unique Grass Mat Style
Your family and friends will all feel like they are in a tropical paradise when they sit in your kitchen with the grass mat design. This
treatment is available with trim or without trim and will match just about any color in your kitchen decor.
With all the options available for kitchen window treatments, there's no reason why you can't take the time now to be creative.
And it will all be worth it when you watch the surprised look on your family's faces when they walk into your new bright kitchen for their
next meal.
