Kitchen Window Coverings That Balance Style & Practicality

The kitchen is the Grand Central Station of your home! Create a kitchen that works for your busy family with the help of kitchen window treatments. Window coverings bring about a comfortable atmosphere by removing glare, regulating temperatures and adding privacy for the whole family. California Window Fashions can show you how to improve your kitchen by simply adding window coverings. 

Why Kitchen Window Coverings Matter

Times have changed, but the traditional kitchen layout remains the same-kitchen sink, window, and all. Today, we face a different chore, fitting our kitchen window with coverings. If you are looking for heat and glare control over the sink and around the kitchen, moisture and grease resistance, and privacy, the right window coverings matter. Privacy controls also help block unnecessary light, which matters if you are seeking appropriate shades to meet all these needs while making it easy to control and shift as needed.

Best Window Coverings for Kitchens

We all agree, the kitchen is the heart of the home and that means windows and doors share the same space. How do you keep the basic style elements of your kitchen the same, but still address the vast needs of your doors and windows? Avoid matching, instead, coordinate window coverings.

From room darkening shades to sheers, there is protection at the window no matter which direction your kitchen faces. UV protection is key as well as aesthetics, with a low profile that lets the shade roll away and ‘disappear,’ for a clean look.
