subject: Elegant Kitchen Window Blinds [print this page] Finding the perfect kitchen window blind can be tricky. The blinds or shades need to look good, be easy to clean and be moisture resistant. Because kitchen cooking can cause a build-up of grease on kitchen window blinds, it's important to use the right blinds and shades so they don't need to be replaced every couple of years.
The first tip to choosing kitchen window blinds is to stay away from fabric materials. Fabrics absorb grease, making them difficult to clean. Fabrics also generally absorb odor, so in a couple of years window treatments might end up smelling like fried chicken or ragu sauce. Dusting can be hard with kitchen window blinds because dust sticks to grease, sometimes smearing the dirt. For easy maintenance and good looks the top three kitchen window blinds are:
1. Embassy 2" Faux Wood Blinds. These wood blinds offer premium features at an affordable price. They are resistant to moisture, won't chip, warp or crack. They will look like new for a lifetime. Faux wood is easy to clean with a damp cloth with a little soap and water. The Embassy 2" faux wood blinds come with a 2 x 2 metal headrail and a free 3 inch custom crown valance.
2. Aspen 2" Faux Wood Blinds. The Aspen blinds are classic and tasteful. They are so similar to wood no one will know the difference. You'll be the only one to know when you pay the bill. The various stains available were designed to match existing furniture, or you can opt for a painted version. Cleaning is a no-hassle job.
3. Chalet Composite Shutters. Composite shutters add a quaint touch to a kitchen, or any other room in the house for that matter. They are composed of American hardwood and polymer so they look like real wood. A bar helps tilt the shutter for privacy and light control. Made in the US, they are built within 15 business days.
Before ordering your kitchen window blinds, you should decide on your overall design theme for the room. Would you rather pick up colors in existing wood furniture or would you rather go with a clean painted look? To help decide, find a company that will send you free samples so you can see how the final product will look in your home.
Don't neglect decorating your kitchen because you aren't sure what will work. Faux wood kitchen window blinds will look great in every kitchen. Throw out the old aluminum window treatments and bring faux wood into your home. They cost less than real wood but look just as good.
The only person to know these aren't real wood blinds will be you. Sit back, cook a great meal and enjoy the elegance these window treatments bring to your home.
