slo’s WEDNESDAY poll - Kitchen Window Treatments

[AppleDumpling]

I said other, because I have blinds but not “mini” blinds. Faux wood cordless blinds on all the windows and thermal curtains over the sliding back door.

Mini Blinds over the Window with the sink. The French doors have mini blinds built in.

There is no window in my kitchen.

I said blinds, we have a kitchen then a little eat in area on the other side of a counter so I don't count that as the kitchen. The kitchen itself just has the a small window in the door out to the garage and that has wooden blinds on it. If you count the eat in area, there are two windows in there and I have plantation shutters on those. I have no valances on any of my windows.

We technically don't have a kitchen window.

We have a huge 3 panel glass sliding door and window in the adjacent dining nook. There is a plantation shutter on the window and sheer curtains for the sliding door.

well....our treatment is outside...we have thos metal louvre pannels found on old trailers to create shade....though now they are shelter for the doves trying to stay out of the wind and swaying palms ....I wish the doves had a brighter color than just dust.

Curtains on the windows over the sink and on the back door.

We don’t actually have any windows in the kitchen.

We have a sliding glass door in the dining room which is connected to the kitchen (there’s no wall between them), with a transparent curtain. We have wall cutouts to the craft and living rooms which both have blinds. There’s plenty of natural light, just none of the windows are actually in the kitchen.

Terrible and not-remotely-to-scale drawing attached where windows are marked with blue, and cutouts are marked with green.

We don't have any windows in the kitchen. I guess you would call it open concept. Just one long rectangle that ends at the patio doors. No treatments on those doors.

How I treat my kitchen window is none of yer damn busi...hang on...Oh. We have a valance

 

[evilmommie]

I voted other, as I have custom roller shades and window tinting on the doors and windows in the kitchen.

What’s type of window treatments are in your kitchen?

Not really a valance, or curtains, but we have a short (12") curtain along the top of the window. And blinds.

Nothing on the kitchen window, which is over the sink. I keep thinking if DH would hang a curtain rod, I could hang a fleece curtain because it's SO freaking cold in front of that window. I'd hang the rod myself but I'm too short to reach and not secure/stable enough when standing on a step stool.

 

[DisneyHardin]

I have plantation blinds on my kitchen window.

That valance is beautiful. Never let her go!

Thank you!

 

[fla4fun]

All of the windows in the house, with the exception of two frosted bathroom windows, have vertical blinds. The kitchen windows have valances added as well.

The kitchen has a window over the sink. At first we just put up a valance. But once the leaves came off the trees we had to add a shade. The Sun coming in was tough depending on the time of day.We picked a light brown bamboo shade that complimented the valance. The kitchen also has a sliding glass door with a dark bambo curtain and 2 windows on either side with matching bamboo shades. The prior owners left those and we decided to keep them. The kitchen goes right into the family room. It's four windows have the light brown shades we have over the sink.

Over the last 20 years, we've used a variety of window treatments in our kitchens, such as pleated shades, metal mini blinds, and faux wood blinds. I used to sell a lot of shades 20 years ago. My mom and dad's kitchen now has a cellular shade.

If you've got a lot of spilled food, oil, soap, and so on, you'll need something which can be deeply cleaned. In that due consideration, a vinyl roller shade is probably the best option, preceded by faux wood shades and metal blinds. If it's a window that doesn't get much splashing, you can put up whatever you want.

Regular wood blinds (not mini) on the window over the sink.

The sliding door to the back deck has nothing. But there are grates inside the glass so it looks like French doors.

Nothing. Had a designer come in a couple years ago and she took down all the blinds that had been on these windows. I actually like it better with nothing there. Gives it a clean look.
