4 Ways to Refresh Kitchen Window Treatments in the New Year

The New Year is the perfect time for a life refresh. Perhaps this means a new wardrobe, a new workout routine, or new additions to your home. For example, many homeowners focus on upgrading that one room they’ve had their eye on for some time, like their bedroom, primary bath, or kitchen.

If you’re in that latter group, you’re in the right place! Now’s the perfect time to work with us at Wessco Blinds and explore how Hunter Douglas window treatments can elevate your kitchen window coverings.

1. Invest in Custom Hunter Douglas Window Treatments

Investing in new, custom-made window treatments can elevate your space with aesthetics and function. Custom faux wood blinds can emulate the beauty of real wood with an added punch of durability. With their timeless slat colors and custom cuts, these window treatments will always be in style.

Choose Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds for a high-quality window treatment that draws the eye. With a realistic TruGrain® finish, these blinds carefully mimic the grains and stains of real wood while withstanding the kitchen's humidity.

2. Add a Pop of Color with Custom Drapery

Bold colors and prints in your kitchen can benefit from this fun design element. Since many areas of the home have a theme or color scheme, going bold with your window treatments allows you to embrace it fully.

If you want to feel limitless in your design options, Carole™ Fabrics Custom Drapes offers over 4,000 fabric and color choices. Custom drapery can help tie in other colors or patterns within your kitchen, from backsplash tiles to countertop colors, to give the room a cohesive look.

3. Go for Energy Efficiency with Cellular Shades

With energy costs rising, energy-efficient window treatments are more essential than ever. These shades use their honeycomb-like construction to trap air right at the window, serving as insulation to keep your kitchen cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They can also help reduce your energy usage and bills over time.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades are great for energy efficiency. In addition to their honeycomb construction, these shades come in various opacity levels, allowing you to adjust the amount of light entering the room while ensuring privacy.

4. Clean Current Kitchen Window Coverings

Sometimes, the simplest window treatment update is a good cleaning. While Hunter Douglas window coverings are notoriously low-maintenance, kitchen windows tend to accumulate grease and dust more quickly than other spaces throughout the house.

Our team suggests reviewing the manufacturer’s guide for the recommended cleaning instructions for your kitchen’s window treatments to get them looking as good as new. You can even explore professional window covering cleaning with our experts.
