How to Treat Kitchen Window

Choosing the right kind of kitchen window treatment for your home is actually more of decision that is made according to how you want your kitchen to look or what atmosphere you want your kitchen to have. There are a number of window treatments you can use for your kitchen windows. Here are some ideas you might want to use:

Minimalism - some people do not use the usual curtains that one may see in older kitchens. You often see them using just plain valances in solid colors or simple roman shades that can be easily pulled up to let some light in. You can also find some people using simple swags, often without the jabots that hang on the ends, to simply give their windows some additional color without really covering up their windows with too much fabric.

Functional - there are some people who opt for functional window treatments over style or being fashionable. Certain home owners use shades, venetian blinds and vertical blinds to help give them control over the amount of light they let into their kitchens. These kinds of window treatments are not as attractive as their fabric counterparts or their more decorative sisters, but they do serve the purpose their owners want them to serve.

Colors - when you want your kitchen to look bigger, you should opt for a kitchen window treatment that comes in lighter colors like pastels or white. For a more sophisticated appeal, choose darker and more sedate colors for your kitchen's windows. Want a homier atmosphere? Choose fabrics that often bring back memories of home like gingham and floral patterned curtains or valances in bright colors.

Adding Curves - if you find that your kitchen is full of too many angles with the square cabinets, rectangular appliances and cornered tabletops and counters, you can soften this with the use of curves in the window treatments you choose. Choose to incorporate swags that are curvier and valances that are not as straightforward or as plain as some valance choices are. You can also choose to add pleated valances and throw scarf jabots and swags to help soften your kitchen's harsh angled look.
