Kitchen window treatments require somewhat of a different approach than bedroom or den window treatments. In this blog entry, the professional shade and blind installation team here at Los Angeles Shades and Blinds will discuss the details of above-sink kitchen window treatments.
Decorative Coverings Over Windows
Decorative coverings over kitchen windows can add a great deal of flair to your properties, but you need to keep the potential of water damage in mind. We recommend bamboo or woven wood shades – or roman shades for a classic look. It’s important to choose materials that are waterproof or water resistant. We also recommend choosing light filtering shades or blinds that allow the proper amount of light into your kitchen.
Privacy
If you’re concerned about privacy – for example, in the event that your kitchen sink window faces a neighbor’s home or the street – we recommend installing roller shades. This can provide you with customizable privacy, while also offering light diffusion for ambience.
Light Control
If your kitchen window faces East or West, it likely has bright sunlight directly pouring through in the morning or night. These UV rays can be hard to look at, damages skin, and even furniture – not to mention making your rooms hot! We recommend installing solar shades in hsi event – they can block harmful UV rays, and are constructed out of high quality and durable material that’s available in a range of colors and styles. We also recommend aluminium mini blinds that have a range of customizable privacy and light control settings.
Longevity
We recommend installing kitchen treatments with both functional approaches and an ability to last a long period of time. A great choice is faux wood blinds or shutters, as they offer fantastic light control and maintain a high aesthetic flair, but they also are easy to take care of, and extensively long lasting. All you need to clean them is soap and water – and they even insulate against cold and heat. Faux wood blinds don’t’ warp, chip, or discolor when exposed to water – making them a great choice for kitchens!
