Kitchen Blinds: A Stylish and Durable Combination

Blinds have been a popular option for kitchens for years. Increasingly, kitchens are the central hub of a house where cooking, eating, and entertaining are conducted. Given their increased significance homeowners are even more focused on their appearance and window treatments play an important role in the overall décor.

Kitchen windows can be challenging to cover for a few reasons. First, because homeowners want to enjoy ample natural light while still maintaining privacy, and secondly because they are high-traffic areas that often are subjected to more heat and moisture than other living spaces.

When considering the appropriate kitchen window treatment many options are available and it’s not necessary to compromise fashion for practicality. Norman® has an array of high-quality products that deliver exceptional performance with a stylish look.

Different Types of Kitchen Blinds

There are an abundance of kitchen window treatments on the market, and each has its own set of benefits:

Faux wood blinds: Norman® faux wood blinds are crafted from lightweight and safe, lead-free ABS materials. This durable option is highly moisture resistant, making it a great choice for above the sink.
Wood blinds: Structurally sound and classically elegant, wood blinds can make a statement near a dining table in the kitchen but should not be placed near water or heating appliances.
Vertical Blinds: These blinds are ideal for large windows or sliding doors in the kitchen. They can be adjusted to allow light to filter in while maintaining privacy.
Aluminum blinds: These low-maintenance, highly durable blinds effectively resist humidity and warping making them a good choice for windows close to faucets or heating elements.
