Choosing window treatments for your kitchen is actually a lot easier than choosing window treatments for most of the other rooms in your house. For windows that are near the cooking areas, sinks, and other areas where grease, food, and water can get on the window covering, you want to make sure you choose a covering that is durable and easy to clean.

Faux Wood Blinds
Faux wood blinds are the easiest window covering to clean and maintain, plus, they are extremely durable and won’t warp, split, or crack in high heat or high moisture environments. Faux wood blinds have a clean look that will compliment any decorating style you have in your kitchen

Aluminum Blinds
Aluminum blinds are very durable and, while they are not as easy to maintain as faux wood blinds, they are still a great affordable choice for a kitchen. Since they are made from high-grade aluminum, they are a durable choice where you’ll never have to worry about warping, splitting, cracking, or rusting.

Roman Shades
Roman shades are often placed in kitchens because they are a perfect compromise between drapes and window shades. They are a great way to bring color and patterns to a kitchen. Keep in mind where the window is placed – these can be more difficult to clean and you need to consider what you will do if they end up getting a stain (spaghetti can get in strange places).

Notes
Keep in mind, faux wood blinds and aluminum blinds are our top suggestions to cover kitchen windows because they are easy to clean and resist warping, splitting, and cracking in high temperature and high moisture environments. We suggest putting these blinds in any area where grease, food, water, or extreme temperatures can get on or affect your window covering. If you like different window coverings, consider mixing and matching – put faux wood or aluminum blinds in the tough areas and then your choice on other windows.
