Update Your Kitchen With Window Treatments and More
Your kitchen is more than just a place to cook. It’s where you brighten the day with your favorite coffee, enjoy meals with loved ones, and make lasting memories. So, why not give your kitchen the love it deserves with a design refresh?
Whether you want to make small additions that have a big impact or want to do a top-to-bottom upgrade, our Delux Drapery & Shade Co. team discusses five rising kitchen window trends for homes this year.
1. Investing in Kitchen Blinds, Shades, and Shutters
One of the most effective ways to transform your eatery is to invest in kitchen blinds and shades and even shutters that enhance its beauty and can withstand the many elements in a kitchen.
Hunter Douglas offers several styles that resist heat, humidity, and the general wear and tear associated with the kitchen, such as:
Faux Wood Blinds
If you’re looking for a more classic style for your blinds for kitchen windows, select EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds. These kitchen blinds deliver the genuine look of wood with artificial materials for ultimate beauty and durability. Available in various finishes, you can customize these blinds to coordinate with other elements in your kitchen for a cohesive look, like:
- Cabinets
- Countertops
- Backsplashes.
Duette® Cellular Shades
Duette® Cellular Shades are a fantastic option for kitchens with plenty of afternoon sun. These energy-efficient kitchen shades use their honeycomb-like insulation structure to block inside air from escaping outside and prevent outside air from sneaking in.
Additionally, if your kitchen has a sliding glass door leading out to a patio, pair the Duette® Cellular Shades with the cordless Vertiglide™ system.
Interior Vinyl Shutters
For a neutral look at the window that exudes timeless charm, choose Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters. Hunter Douglas artisans design these interior shutters never to fade, warp, discolor, chip, or bow, even when exposed to heat, humidity, or sunlight, which are common in kitchens.
Their sleek, clean lines offer a fresh, crisp look while providing excellent light control.
2. Having Two-Toned Cabinets
To achieve a visually dynamic kitchen with just the right amount of contrast, consider having two-toned cabinets. Whether you want your kitchen bold or subtle, two-toned cabinets add visual depth to the space, taking it to the next level of interior design.
Popular color combinations include light blue and white, black and white, and green and brown, but you can choose any color combination you enjoy. You might even play with materials, such as natural wood and stone, for a truly intriguing and unique look.
3. Using Eco-Friendly Materials
Another rising trend for kitchens that many homeowners love is utilizing eco-friendly materials. This trend includes sustainably sourced wood for cabinets and environmental countertop materials like:
- Quartz.
- Recycled glass.
- Natural stone.
Additionally, you can create a greener kitchen with sustainable window treatments. Crafted with fabrics from the GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ fabric collection, Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades comprise reclaimed plastic for a picturesque window treatment that benefits your home and the Earth.
4. Trying Layered Lighting
Layered lighting is a way to create a cozy kitchen atmosphere when you want it and brightly lit cooking areas when you need it. By layering your lighting, you can achieve proper brightness for ambient lighting, which is excellent for hosting guests, task lighting for cooking, and accent lighting for showing off your kitchen’s detailing.
To achieve this, combine the following:
- Overhead fixtures.
- Under-cabinet lighting.
- Accent lights.
