New Kitchen Shades for a Whole New Look this Year

One of the most popular and regularly used rooms in the home is the kitchen, which is why it’s often known as the heart of the house. It is linked to moments in our mundane daily life, and it is often also part of special events that draw family and friends to our homes. Upgrading your kitchen shades can give your entire home a facelift and help to make your kitchen an even more useful space. Hunter Douglas has a wide selection of window treatments ideal for kitchen shades because they offer natural ventilation, controlled light, or versatile design.

Natural Ventilation and Air Flow

Never underestimate the importance of good ventilation in a kitchen. Cooking odors can build up and need airing out, or one overcooked meal can mean a smoke-filled kitchen that needs to be vented fast. Plantation style interior shutters have spaces between their louvers, allowing natural airflow ideal in kitchens or any room with specific ventilation needs. And while the spaces allow for airflow, the louvers on shutters control light and provide privacy for a well-rounded option for kitchen shades.

Controlled Light

Most kitchen activities require light. Cooking, eating, and visiting with familyis all done with the lights on or with the kitchen shades open, if natural light is a primary light source in the space. Sheer shadings offer the unique ability to allow ample amounts of natural light and provide privacy. This attribute is thanks to the advanced sheer materials used to softly filter light and obscure the view. Hunter Douglas makes several styles of sheer shadings, including both horizontal and vertical treatments to suit kitchen windows (or doors) of all shapes and sizes.

Versatile Design

Kitchens tend to be hubs of activity in a home. Day to day and on special occasions, everyone seems to end up in the kitchen at some point for varying reasons. This means that kitchen shades need to be versatile to function at all times of days, from breakfast time to midnight snacking, and they need to be responsive to the wide range of activities that happen in a kitchen. Our Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades and Designer Screen Shades are easy to operate and look great when paired with other window treatments like blinds, drapes, and side panels. They’re also easy to maintain! Because they have a smooth surface, you can clean them by using a vacuum cleaner brush attachment or wipe them down with a damp cloth.
