1. Kitchen Window Blinds Ideas

Blinds are a classic window treatment idea because they are easy to adjust and provide a clean, simple window covering solution. Blinds work equally well in a traditional or contemporary kitchen. They are also easy to install with basic DIY skills.

Depending on where they’re purchased and the materials used, blinds can be extremely affordable or quite expensive. If you want the appearance of expensive wood blinds, look for a faux wood blind product instead. These are made from recycled plastics and will last much longer than the cheap plastic blinds available at your big chain retailers.

2. Corner Kitchen Window Ideas

Corner kitchen windows provide twice the light, but figuring out a window treatment may be more challenging than with a standard window. However, a simple pair of shades or blinds can do the job nicely.

You can also get creative with curtains when covering a corner window. Hang three panels of semi-sheer fabric—one on each outer edge and one where the corners touch. Gather the fabric with tassels or decorative ties during the day. At night, release the ties and spread out the material to cover the windows.
