Kitchen window dressing ideas for cold, drafty kitchens
In the UK, we experience the cold far more than the warm. This means that in older homes and kitchens, fighting off the cold can be a constant challenge with drafty windows and cool breezes. Did you know that without effective window insulation, you can lose around 10% of the heating in your home?
For drafty kitchens, which tend to be in older houses, we recommend investing in high-quality blinds to maximize efficiency and reduce your monthly bills. Pleated Blinds are made of a thick material that can trap cold air between the window and the blind. Alternatively, Roller Blinds can also provide a barrier to chilly breezes, while maintaining a stylish interior.
Shutters are another good choice for kitchen window dressing. They offer complete light control throughout your kitchen while being an ultra-modern choice to suit a contemporary interior.
Above the sink
For blinds or shutters above sinks, you’ll be wanting to opt for something more waterproof and easy-to-clean.
Polyester fitted Roller Blinds are a popular choice for above the sink (and in bathrooms too) because of how easy they are to clean. They’re also waterproof, making them durable and long-lasting.
Roller Blinds are also affordable, as well as stylish, and practical. Choosing bespoke also means that you can find the perfect fit for your interior tastes and budget.
Another window dressing idea for kitchens that have windows above the sink is PVC window shutters. The PVC makes this type of shutter extremely durable. As they’re easy to wipe clean and scratch resistant, they’re a perfect choice if you have young children.
Over-a-counter or hard-to-reach places
You may have a skylight in your kitchen or a window that’s tricky to reach. For these types of hard-to-reach places, we recommend opting for a remote control window blind. This means that you control the temperature, amount of light, and your privacy levels with a touch of a button.
Motorized blinds are also a popular option for those with mobility issues or disabilities. You can even set this type of blind to adjust according to the time of day or to match your local sunrise and sunset.
French doors or Bifold doors
It can be tricky to find the perfect stylish and practical window dressing solution for the doors in your kitchen. A bespoke blind specialist can help you find the perfect idea to suit your style and budget.
French doors
Fitted Venetian blinds are a popular choice to use over doors in your kitchen. They offer great light filtration while having the added benefit of being easy to adjust and wipe down.
As an affordable, low-maintenance blind, we highly recommend considering fitted Venetian blinds when you’re considering your kitchen window dressing ideas.
Bifold doors
Bifold doors are a statement in any kitchen. They’re stylish, contemporary, and luxurious – and they require the right blinds to elevate their allure.
Bifold blinds are made bespoke for these types of doors, with the ability to move with them as they open and close. As well as being able to control the amount of light that’s being let into your kitchen, bifold blinds give you the utmost privacy in your kitchen. They can also be made to be Easy Fit for your bifold doors, so there’s no need for any drilling.
