“We are all just little dolls of ourselves. Who occasionally pull back the curtains to reveal the real us.” – Bruce Eric Kaplan

In many homes, curtains represent little more than a necessity. Without them, our private abodes would be vulnerable to unwanted sunlight and peering eyes. But whether in the bedroom, dining room, or any room in-between, curtains also present an opportunity to flex your design skills.

Keep reading for the best kitchen curtain ideas and how to implement them in your own home. You’ll quickly see what you’re missing out on with bare windows.

Rather than installing plastic blinds, go with faux or solid wood ones. These look quite high-end without actually costing much more than a set of plastic blinds. You can find even the most basic Venetian blinds in countless colors, so choose one to match or complement your kitchen walls.

It’s also important to pick a style that suits your kitchen window shape. While vertical blinds can look dated on square windows, they can be a sleek option for exceptionally tall or narrow windows. Indoor shutters are another great way to bring a touch of personality and class to a standard set of blinds.
