Best Window Treatments for Kitchens

The kitchen is the hardest-working room in the house, and its window treatments need to work just as hard. Kitchen windows are frequently exposed to heat, humidity, cooking grease, and splashing water from the sink. Homeowners often struggle to find treatments that are both beautiful and durable, asking: "What window treatments are best for kitchens?"

When selecting kitchen window treatments, material durability and ease of cleaning are just as important as style. The best options include:

Option	Moisture Resistant	Easy to Clean	Style	Best Placement
Faux Wood Blinds	Yes	Yes (wipe clean)	Classic	Over sink; any window
Vinyl / Performance Roller Shades	Yes	Yes (wipe clean)	Modern, minimal	Any window
Performance Roman Shades	Moderate	Good	Soft, elegant	Breakfast nook; away from stove
Woven Wood Shades	Moderate	Good	Warm, organic	Breakfast nook; away from sink
Option	Moisture Resistant	Easy to Clean	Style	Best Placement

Designer Insight

Kitchens are full of hard surfaces—tile, stone, stainless steel, and glass," notes the Avabelle Interiors team. "Window treatments are often the only opportunity to introduce softness and texture into the space. Over the kitchen sink, we love using a cordless or motorized woven wood shade. It brings in a natural, organic element, and because it's cordless, you never have to worry about cords dangling into the sink or getting in the way while you cook."
