Kitchen window treatments are very important, because some families spend a lot of time in their kitchen on a daily basis, therefore the look of this room matters. On the other hand, kitchens are subject to tough conditions, because of the steam and food odors that may penetrate decorations and accessories and remain there, being very hard to get rid of.

Here are a few tips to help you choose your kitchen window treatments wisely:

1. Kitchen window treatments need to be washable. If you like to cook, your window treatments would get dirty very easily, therefore you need to be able to clean them often. Machine washable fabrics are the best, as you don’t have to invest time and energy in cleaning them.
2. Sheer cotton cafe curtains or Venetian aluminum blinds are the best. Cotton is easy to clean and aluminum doesn’t retain odors. Besides, you can find them for cheap.
3. Thick fabrics should be avoided. Thick fabric drapes or pleated curtains aren’t suitable for kitchen windows because they’d soon become the home of mold and mildew, because of the steam and high humidity, so you’ll end up with stinky window treatments. Molds are not good for health.
4. Kitchen window treatments need to be easy to take down for cleaning. You don’t want to need a specialized person to help you each time you want to wash your window curtains or shades, would you?
5. Swags, privacy tiers and valances are nice in every kitchen. Remember to keep them as simple as possible, and you’ll be able to obtain the look you’re after without cluttering your windows.
6. You don’t need complete blackout in the kitchen. If you cook, then why would you want to do it in the dark? Choose merry, light shades of color and sheer fabrics for your kitchen windows coverings.
7. Light fabrics with cheerful motives are a good, inexpensive choice. Fruits, veggies, rabbits, plaid patterns, everything goes here. If you have kids, you can let them choose the fabrics for your window kitchen treatments.
