But if you were to ask, “Which window treatments do you recommend most for my kitchen?” our answer might trend towards one of the several high-end alternatives to soft kitchen window treatments we have in store that perform optimally in the space. Read on to learn about some durable window treatment options from the SunGard Window Fashions team that look great and perform well in warm and humid rooms like kitchens.

Try Plantation Shutters as Kitchen Window Treatments

The kitchen is full of potential hazards. From staining due to cooking mishaps to tearing in the fabric from hard or heavy use in one of the home's busiest rooms, your window treatments can get pretty beat up in a kitchen. Additionally, the heat and humidity from sinks, stoves, and ovens, you need window covering that can stand up to all that this space has to offer.

That is why we especially recommend vinyl plantation shutters. These durable window treatments are easy to clean and hard to stain, with strength designed to endure even under heavy use. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are a great option for the kitchen because, in addition to being ultra-durable, they are also moisture and UV-resistant. Plus, they are compatible with PowerView® Automation for hands-free control when cooking.

Try Alternatives to Wood Blinds

Blinds are an excellent alternative window treatment in the kitchen. They precisely fit in the inner dimensions of the window frame itself, perfectly tucked out of the way yet still able to perform optimally. Their hard materials make them durable window treatments, especially EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds and Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds from Hunter Douglas, designed for long-lasting usage.

EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds offer an excellent solution for kitchen window treatments. These blinds provide the timeless look of real wood and are highly resistant to moisture, heat, and humidity, making them perfect for the kitchen environment since they are easy to clean, warp-resistant, and won't crack or peel. Their durable construction also makes them ideal for high-traffic areas. With a wide range of colors and finishes available, these blinds can complement any kitchen decor while providing excellent light control and privacy.

Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds bring a sleek, contemporary look to your kitchen windows. These blinds are crafted from high-quality aluminum metal, offering durability and resistance to moisture, essential features for kitchen use. Their slim profile makes them ideal for smaller windows or areas where space is at a premium. With precise light control and various metallic hues available, they provide both functionality and style to modern kitchen designs.

Both styles of Venetian blinds are compatible with PowerView® Automation, which can be integrated into existing smart home or home assistant programs for modern Illinois households.

Hunter Douglas also has several styles of vertical blinds for use over kitchen doors for matching treatments throughout the room, floor, or household.
