Curtains/blinds for kitchen windows?

9 years ago

How would you decorate these windows - the sliding door and the small one above the kitchen sink? The black curtains were a terrible idea. They are temporarily tied up out if baby's reach! Thanks all :-) (excuse the mess!)

You could do matching roman shade and curtains. For the sliding doors, you could consider a more substantial curtain rod so it doesn't need a centre support. That way curtain could be moved over into corner.

Really like that thanks a mil. Was half thinking of doing that wall a light grey incase it was two white. I think what you suggested pulls it off though.

How will roman blind and roller blinds mix in a large kitchen
Q

We mix treatments in the same room all the time, but this must be done carefully; be sure the color of the solid fabric coordinates nicely with the print and you should be fine as long as you "tie them together" - perhaps use the printed fabric of the roman to make a small simple valance to cover the headrail of the roller shades. You could also use the solid fabric as a banding along the sides and bottom or the roman.

Blinds or curtains?

Hello Jen, I am so surprised that no one has mentioned vertical blinds to you? They are very much back in fashion and work beautifully in a room such as yours. They come in 3.5" veins, which mean they will fold back and tuck into each recess when fully open. They turn to let as much light in as you need and then close when you want full privacy. They will be fitted in the recess above the windows. You can either have one complete rail length or two so you have a separate section over the door. You can have what's know as a middle split, i.e: half goes left and right. Personally I would suggest one length that opens to the left, therefore leaving your door completely uncovered when open. The pulley system is very much like a roller blind and are safety fixed to the wall so children can not get caught in them. They come in a huge rang of colours and materials and better still they are very affordable. I am working with a number of new developments in Hertfordshire at the moment and these are what the clients are all asking for. If you would like some idea of price, please email me your measurements and I will give you an idea, amanda@propertybydesign.net Good luck and enjoy! :0)

Blackout Blinds or Blackout Curtains?
Q
Comments (5)
Hi, We're often asked about the best way to achieve a blackout effect. The key is to realise that most blackout products offer a degree of room-darkening, but not total blackout. Layering is a great way to help achieve this, but in your case you're obviously limited with this. Curtains with a blackout lining are effective as they cover the whole window, but they still have a degree of light flare - where the light creeps in at the edge of the window - as they sit proud of the window on a pole or rail. Moreover, Roman blinds with a blackout lining are effective, but they too sit slightly in front of the window and allow some light in at the edge. One thing I'd suggest in your situation is PerfectFit Roller blinds with a blackout coating. PerfectFit is a clever little system which clips into uPVC window frames, meaning each blind fits each piece of glazing perfectly. Combining this with a Roller blind with a blackout coating is a great way to lessen the light flare. Then, in the future if you could stretch to curtains as well, you could layer two blackout fabrics for an even greater effect. Hope this helps, Zoe
