From the centre of activity when we get up to the space we hungrily return to at the end of a day, our kitchens are one of the busiest areas in our homes! Working in a dull and inefficient kitchen can be uninspiring and affect our overall work ethic for the day. So, if you’re looking for ways to refurbish or renovate your kitchen space to create something stylish and inviting, window treatments are worth considering!
The right window blinds can not only keep out the glare, but also keep your kitchen cool in summer, warm in winter, and aesthetically pleasing year-round. As a provider of quality blinds New Zealand wide, we elaborate on excellent blind designs that will make your kitchen more comfortable and pleasant to work in.
Discover our top 5 blind ideas for kitchen windows below and make an informed decision about your purchase!
1. Honeycomb Blinds
Looking for an attractive, energy-saving blind design for your kitchen windows? If so, honeycomb blinds are an excellent cellular blind to consider! These versatile blinds are engineered with a cellular design to provide an extra layer of insulation for your home. Incorporating them into your kitchen will be not only stylish but also energy efficient. With honeycomb blinds, you can minimise heat loss during the winter and better control your home’s energy consumption throughout the year.
On top of this, honeycomb blinds are available in a wide variety of materials, making it easy to incorporate them into any home design. At NZ Blinds, we offer light filtering honeycomb blinds and room darkening designs in a variety of colours, fabrics, and opacities.
2. Sunscreen Roller Blinds
For kitchens that receive a lot of bright light at peak hours during the day, sunscreen roller blinds could be the perfect solution! These blinds can reduce up to 97% of UV rays and will easily prevent glare and unwanted heat from entering the house. Because of their excellent design, sunscreen blinds continue to allow “soft light” into your home, so you can still appreciate natural light in the kitchen while you cook without being hot and flustered. They are also easy to clean so there is no need to worry about food and water staining them. Dirt and dust can be simply wiped away with a damp cloth and soapy water—easy-peasy!
3. Faux Wood Venetian Blinds
Venetian window blinds are an elegant window treatment that many people love to use consistently throughout the home. While we do not recommend using wooden Venetian blinds in the kitchen, faux wood Venetians are an excellent choice to consider for those who love their timeless slatted design.
Made of compressed polystyrene, faux blinds will not warp or suffer damage due to humidity or moisture. They are also very sturdy, easy to clean, and resilient against sun damage. So, if Venetian roller blinds are just the thing you’ve been looking for, explore our selection online, choose the blind colour to match or contrast your kitchen scheme, and edit your order to perfection through NZ Blinds.
4. Faux Wood Shutters
Faux wood shutters, otherwise known as plantation shutters, offer a striking style for any kitchen. Similar in appearance to Venetian blinds, wood shutters are white and pristine and have a classy and timeless appearance of their own. They feature tilted wooden louvres that can be adjusted but do not need a pull-string to open them as Venetian blinds do.
When it comes to kitchen spaces and areas of the home prone to humidity and moisture accumulation, we recommend using faux wood shutters that are manufactured from water-resistant products. This will ensure that your kitchen shutters don’t warp or wear for years to come!
5. Printed Roller Blinds
Are you feeling bored and uninspired while cooking? A kitchen that is bare and lacklustre will do little to motivate you. Why not try incorporating fun patterns or printed designs into your colour scheme with printed roller blinds? From simple patterns to full-blown landscape prints, you can use the design of your choice to create a unique blind for your home. This can be a great way of bringing some personality into your home and increasing your enjoyment while cooking every day.
