Looking for attractive yet practical window decoration in your kitchen? This can be difficult, as choosing window coverings in the kitchen might spark a few potential concerns. The window decoration may come into contact with grease, moisture or dirt, so how do you make the right choice for window decoration in the kitchen? All Somfy partners, offer a wide range of window decoration with Somfy motors. We would like to explain what the best choices are and why.
When choosing window coverings for the kitchen, there are a number of points you should definitely pay attention to in your selection. By choosing smart, your new window decoration will last for many years. What considerations can help you determine which window coverings are best to buy?
The location of the window is very important and decisive. With a window near the sink or cooker, you are much more likely to deal with moisture or grease splashes. A closed kitchen can also suffer from odours getting into the window coverings, unlike open kitchens which are less likely to suffer from this. Next, consider the function of window coverings.
Think about whether you want window coverings to prevent people from looking in or whether the kitchen already has sufficient privacy. Also take into account the amount of light; it would be wise to choose a light-permeable fabric. In the kitchen, you do not want to cook in the dark and you need to see clearly what you are doing. Some window decoration is therefore more suitable in the dining room than in the kitchen, for example. Last but not least, your interior determines the style; do you prefer a country style or a very modern design look?
Let’s kick off with perhaps the most suitable kitchen window decoration, aluminium blinds. These blinds are not only moisture-resistant but can also withstand dirt and grease. In addition, aluminium is very easy to clean. It is a beautiful addition to any interior and can be ordered in various colours. You can easily regulate the incidence of light because you can raise and lower the blinds as well as adjust the slats.
These curtains are easy to maintain, have a sleek appearance and, last but not least, are also moisture-resistant. These types of curtains are available in many colours and degrees of transparency. Roller blinds are popular window decoration in many households. They take up little space. You can easily open, close or adjust the curtain in any intermediate position. By motorising roller blinds, the fabric is rolled around the motor tube. The advantage of an electric roller blind is that they are great for playing with light and blocking out privacy.
Unlike the sleek look offered by most window coverings in kitchens, a pleated roman blind offers a warmer atmosphere. This is a very suitable window covering for windows that are not directly near a sink or the cooker, as the fabric of roman blinds is more prone to stains. However, in case of unforeseen stains, they curtains can easily be washed.
The cellular blinds are also called honeycomb curtains due to their shape. This is yet another suitable and clean looking solution for window decoration in the kitchen. These curtains do not have strings, which gives them this sleek look and makes them safer if you have children. With these curtains, you experience privacy but you can also enjoy the light. Cellular blinds, like roman blinds, are less suitable near the sink or cooker. This is because curtains are made of fabric, which might stain or absorb odours.
