Our 3 Favorite Kitchen Window Shades near Encinitas, CA

With the popularity of open floor plan concepts, the kitchen is just as much a part of the living area of a home as the living room. Most of us spend a lot of time in the kitchen, whether you’re cooking, making the morning coffee or tea, or taking care of the dish clean-up after the evening’s meal. But kitchens can get incredibly hot, muggy, and can be exposed to a wide variety of substances, such as grease, steam, smoke, as well normal household dust and dirt. The bottom line is this: if you have a window (or several) in your kitchen, your window treatments need a little extra TLC, and that’s why we’re going to share our top 3 favorite kitchen window treatments to give you some inspiration.

Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades, Custom window shades, kitchen window shades near Encinitas, California (CA)

1: Kitchen Window Shades

Sure, blinds and shutters are fairly common in most homes, but among our favorite window treatments for the kitchen are our Hunter Douglas window shades. You have so many options to choose from in a wide variety of materials, including woven natural fibers, sheer fabrics, and cellular shades. There are unique benefits to each type of shade, and we’re going to show you why we love each of these options:

  • Cellular Shades:
    • Cellular shades are our absolute #1 choice for your kitchen, but ultimately for any room in your home. They are the best choice for energy efficiency, privacy, and light diffusion, all in one.
    • They stand up incredibly well to humidity and resist breakage. They can also keep your room insulated, which is particularly helpful in rooms like your kitchen.
    • From a design perspective, our cellular shades are a terrific option because they come in a wide variety of fabric finishes that will match any number of different decor styles.
  • Woven Shades:
    • Woven shades are a great option for kitchens because they resist both internal and external humidity and hold their shape and finish incredibly well.
    • They’re made of natural materials, which is fantastic for introducing a unique design element in a kitchen overrun with stainless steel or matte appliances. It softens the look with materials like grasses, reeds, bamboos, and wood to provide a serene look of nature that is calm and comforting.
    • There are three different woven shade options, each boasting 70 or more options for color and fabric, making them a versatile design choice.
  • Sheer Shades:
    • Sheer shadings are another great option for the look of your kitchen. They create gorgeous, diffused light that helps highlight your kitchen without needing a ton of artificial interior light.
    • They can also significantly soften the look of metal and stainless appliances.
    • You’ll choose between three different sheer options that can all be upgraded to provide additional privacy and room darkening benefits if you need it.

2: Roman Shades for Kitchen

Roman shades are another fantastic option for your kitchen window treatments. Our Hunter Douglas Roman Shades provide an abundance of benefits that make them versatile, functional, and an excellent candidate for those that want the functionality of a cellular shade with the look of a Roman shade.

Here are some of the main reasons why Roman shades could be perfect in your kitchen:

  • Style and Design: Roman shades come in a wide range of colors, patterns, and fabrics, making them a versatile option for any kitchen style. They can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your kitchen while still being practical.

  • Light Control: Roman shades offer excellent light control, allowing you to filter the light coming into your kitchen. This is important for cooking and food preparation, as you may need to reduce glare and prevent direct sunlight from damaging your countertops or appliances.

  • Privacy: Depending on the type of fabric you choose, Roman shades can provide a good level of privacy for your kitchen. You can choose from different opacity levels to find the perfect balance between natural light and privacy.

  • Easy Maintenance: Roman shades are easy to clean and maintain. Most fabrics can be wiped down with a damp cloth or vacuumed to remove dust and dirt.

3: Kitchen Roller Shades

Yet another fantastic option for your kitchen is our Hunter Douglas Roller Shades. You’ll find seven different kitchen roller shades options: Designer Roller Shades, Designer Solar Shades, Design Studio Roller Shades, Designer Banded Shades, Sonnette® Roller Shades, Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades, and Alustra® Architectural Roller Shades. While each of these roller shades have unique styles, design, and system operation, they each have shared benefits in the kitchen:

  • Easy to operate: Roller shades are very easy to use, and our Hunter Douglas roller shades can be installed with simple mechanisms that are particularly useful in a kitchen where you may have your hands full while cooking or cleaning, and need to adjust the shade quickly.
  • Customizable: Roller shades come in a variety of colors and styles, so you can choose a shade that matches the decor and design of your kitchen.
  • Easy to clean: Kitchen windows are prone to getting dirty from cooking fumes, steam, and splatters. Roller shades are easy to clean with a quick wipe down, and some materials can even be removed and washed if necessary.
  • Space-saving: Roller shades take up very little space and can be installed with cordless operation systems such as with PowerView® Automation. This can be particularly useful in a small kitchen where you want to maximize space and avoid clutter.
