Love Your Kitchen Again with New Window Solutions
he kitchen is a place to gather, create delicious meals and make memories we will never forget. Whether you have a spacious island, a small breakfast nook or anything in between, a kitchen that is functional as well as one that reflects your style can inspire you to enjoy spending time in this essential space.
Your appliances, flooring, lighting, backsplash and cabinets are all items that require thoughtful consideration if you are contemplating a kitchen renovation. These items can be costly, especially if your kitchen is undergoing a complete transformation. But when you’re craving change that will be easier to complete but still have a major impact in the space, new window treatments in Allenhurst and beyond are an excellent choice.
Because the kitchen is a room that has both humidity and the potential for splashing water, the material that you choose for window solutions in this space is important. For this reason, real wood blinds or wood shutters are not optimal as water and steam can cause issues for the wood over the long term. Composite shutters are ideal for the kitchen. Made of synthetic materials that resist warping, cracking, discoloration and peeling, they are an affordable alternative to real wood. They have the stately appearance of wood blinds but are ideal for the conditions present. Composite shutters can withstand the harsh conditions of the kitchen as well as block the harmful UV rays of the sun to protect your furnishings and flooring.
Keep in mind that kitchen windows are often located over stoves and sinks, so when selecting window treatments in Allenhurst, Oceanport or Deal, opting for a cordless style will make life infinitely easier and safer. Long, dangling cords can be problematic, especially if they happen to fall near the burners on a stove, around sink fixtures or even in the area of a garbage disposal. We love cellular shades in the cordless top down/ bottom up configuration to remedy the issue of cords getting in the way. They are simple to raise and lower from either direction, providing you the opportunity to control the amount of light that flows into the kitchen.
With many homeowners favoring neutral kitchen colors, focal points tend to be a patterned backsplash or appliances in black or stainless steel. To add in a pop of color to your kitchen, fabric in a designer inspired pattern or a bold color can help to express your style. Curtains are a lovely possibility that can brighten up a palate of white, cream, gray or beige. A popular window treatment in Allenhurst is a Roman shade that is fabric and folds up at the top when raised completely and lays flat when lowered.
