Choosing window dressings and decor for a kitchen can be a little tricky when compared to decorating other windows in your home. You'll want to consider the amount of available space and whether or not the curtains or other window dressings are close to the stove. You may also have a small kitchen window that is difficult to find blinds, curtains and shades for. Fortunately, there are lots of great options to think about for your kitchen window. Here are a few ideas to inspire you.

Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are a great option for kitchen windows of all sizes. You can have them custom-made to fit your available space, and there are a host of different colors to choose from. Blinds are ideal for kitchens facing directly due east or west, where direct sunlight can bring unwanted heat in the summer or simply too much sunlight when you are preparing meals. Look for blinds that can be wiped clean, as this will make it easy to remove splatters from sauce or cooking grease.

Valances

For windows that are situated close to the stove, you want to make sure that you don't choose curtains that can easily catch a flame from stove burners. Window valances offer an ideal solution. They sit close to the top of the window, so there are no drapes that can blow over the stove when the window is open, yet they still bring beautiful color and a cheerful look to your kitchen. Look at different designs to match your decor theme, such as gingham for a country kitchen or a bold geometric print for a modern kitchen. You can also pair valances with vertical blinds to create a complete look for your window.

Patterned Window Shades

If you want a clean, modern look and still want to cover the window, consider a patterned window blind. This option also removes the threat of long, blowing curtain panels from catching flames near a stove, and they can also block out sunlight on very bright days. The playful patterns bring color to your room without the need for curtains, and they come in a variety of easy-to-clean materials for convenient maintenance.

No matter which option you choose, be sure to take precise measurements of your window. This will make it easier to order the right size to fit your available space and help ensure a beautiful look for your kitchen.
