5 Essential Kitchen Window Treatments & Design Ideas in 2025

Modern kitchen window treatments can make a decorative statement and also serve a purpose. Here are some modern kitchen window covering ideas to get you started.

We have a gallery with pictures of different types of affordable window treatments in 2025 that might work well in your kitchen!

1. Woven Wood Shades to Add Rich Texture to Your Kitchen

Woven wood shades are an excellent option to add texture to your kitchen’s interior. Not only do they look great, but they also provide privacy and insulation, so you can save money on your energy bills!

Woven wood shades come in a variety of styles and colors. You can find them in everything from classic white and beige to bold reds and blues. The wood is made from natural fibers that are woven together to create intricate patterns that resemble lace or basket weaving. The texture of the material makes it easy to clean, so you don't have to worry about dust or dirt collecting on your shades!

Woven wood shades are available in several different sizes so you can choose one that will fit perfectly in your kitchen! They're great for covering large windows or skylights because they provide privacy while still allowing plenty of light into the kitchen at all times of day (they'll let some light through even when closed).

2. Faux Wood Blinds for a Touch of Nature

Moisture-proof faux wood blinds are a great way to add some extra style to your kitchen. They're also a great option if you don't have a lot of natural light in your kitchen because the faux wood will reflect the light and make it seem like there's more than there actually is.

Faux wood blinds are a great way to get the look of real wood without the expense. They're also incredibly easy to install, which is why we love them so much.

If you're looking for kitchen window treatments that give you the look of real wood, but don't want to pay for the real thing, faux wood blinds are definitely an option. They're made from a durable plastic material that looks like it's made from wood.

The best part? They cost less than half what traditional wood blinds cost!

If you decide to go with these blinds, be sure to use them in conjunction with curtains or other shades. Make sure that you're using them as part of a cohesive look, rather than just sticking one piece of furniture in the corner of your cooking area without considering how it will look when combined with other items.

If you're not sure what kind of faux wood blinds work best for your kitchen, trust us for some awesome blinds/shades for you.

3. Mini Blinds to Add Extra Flair to Your Kitchen

When you're looking for something to give your kitchen windows that extra flair, mini blinds are an excellent option. They're an affordable way - prices starting from just $18! - to make a big impact, and they come in a variety of styles.

In fact, you can even choose between cordless or corded mini blinds depending on what kind of functionality you want to have in your kitchen.

Cordless mini blinds are especially popular because they allow you to adjust the amount of light coming into your kitchen without having to reach behind the window. These blinds also have decorative patterns that look beautiful when they're closed and provide privacy when they're open.

Corded mini blinds work differently than cordless ones do—they allow you to adjust them manually by pulling on cords that run through slats in the bottom half of each blind panel. This makes them easier to use but also means that there isn't much flexibility if you want different levels of light coming into your kitchen at different times during the day.

4. Roman Shades for a Genteel Country House Feel

Affordable custom Roman shades are the perfect kitchen window treatment to add color and pattern to your space, creating an exquisite country house feel. They can be customized to match any décor and style, and they're made from high-quality materials that will last for years.

Roman shades offer a variety of options when it comes to how much light you want them to block out. If you want to let in as much light as possible, pick up a sheer fabric Roman shade. If you'd rather have your windows completely dark, then opt for one made from blackout fabric.

You can buy a Roman shade in a beautiful style like soft fold, flat fold, front slat fold, plain classic fold, European relaxed fold, top-down, bottom-up and seamless.

Roman shades for the kitchen are also super easy to install—you don't need any special tools or skills. Just DIY skills will do!

5. Roller Shades for Simplicity, Privacy, & Protection from Sun

Roller shades are a great option for any kitchen. They offer privacy and protection from the sun, and they can also be installed in any room in your home. Roll-up window covers are one of the easiest window treatments to use, so they're ideal for people who don't want to spend much time fussing over their window treatments.

Different functional varieties of roll-up window covers for kitchens include sheers and light filtering models.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Right Window Treatments for Kitchens

We've put together a list of valuable factors you should consider when choosing window treatments for your kitchen:

How much light do you need in your cooking space?

If you're going to be cooking a lot of meals at night, you might want to invest in blackout shades or curtains to help keep out excess light.

What is the color scheme of your kitchen?

If the walls of your kitchen are painted with a solid color, choose white, black, gray, red, blue fabric. Otherwise, go with patterned or floral fabrics.

What kind of pattern do you like?

If you're looking for something bold and bright, then fabric-backed blinds might be the way to go; if you prefer something more neutral and subtle, then wood blinds could be the perfect fit!

How much privacy do you need?

If you're going to be entertaining guests in your kitchen, then having some nice window treatments that block out some of the view from outside would be ideal for keeping things private.

How much noise does the street make?

If there are cars driving by 24/7—or even worse—construction trucks parked near your house all day long, then soundproofing may be necessary for keeping things quiet (especially if it means saving your sanity).

What style do you like?

There are many different styles to choose from including traditional curtains, valances, roman shades, roller shades, and more! You can personalize any style by adding color or pattern to the fabric or hardware used in creating them.

Which material do you want?

In addition to fabric choices such as cotton or linen there are also wood and bamboo shades available which provide natural beauty as well as insulation against heat loss in colder months while still allowing light into kitchens during warmer months.

These materials are also less expensive than other options such as aluminum or vinyl so they make it easy on your wallet too!

What’s the durability of the chosen material?

When choosing material, think about how durable it will be in a high-traffic area like the kitchen—it will last longer if it's made from sturdy materials like cotton or linen than something delicate like silk.

If you want extra protection against stains, consider choosing natural fabrics such as cotton or linen over man-made ones like polyester or nylon because they're less likely to fade over time due to repeated washing/cleaning cycles!

Optional Upgrades (for an Extra Cost)

• Cordless
• Motorization
• Privacy liners
• Wireless Remote Control Operation

Material Choices

These finer quality materials are better suited to living room window treatments:

• PVC or vinyl
• Aluminum
• Faux wood
• Linen
• Bamboo
• Polyester

Customization Options

• Sizes: Choose a size ranging from 12” x 16” to 115” x 115” (w x h) or bigger to perfectly fit your window frame.
• Mount Position: Go with an inside mount to make the kitchen’s interior look cleaner and more spacious. Or choose an outside mount to make your small window look bigger.

We Recommend

Semi-Transparent Roller Blinds for Kitchen: A popular option is to hang a simple, semi-transparent roller blind on the lower half of the kitchen window to obscure the view from the outside without entirely obscuring the view from inside.

Natural Woven Shade: If you're looking to add warmth and natural texture to your neutral-toned kitchen without breaking the bank, a natural woven shade is a perfect solution.

Black Window Blinds: Have industrial-style windows with an overall black-and-white decor scheme, choose black window blinds to create a contemporary feel.

Fixed Lace Curtain Panel: If you want to bring some timeless charm to your historic or traditional home, we recommend a fixed lace curtain panel that’ll filter light and block views without having to be opened or closed.

Child-Safe Option: If you have kids in your home, always buy a kid-safe cordless blind, like a custom top down bottom up cellular shade or a motorized classic Roman shade.

Painted Window Shutters: Also, you can go with built-in painted window shutters that can be closed at night for total privacy.

Measuring Instructions

• Measure Width: Measure the width of the windows at top, middle, and bottom. Record the narrowest value.
• Measure Height: Measure the height of the top of the window or other space from the top to bottom in the left, middle, and right. Record the shortest measurement. For example, if the measurements are 24”, 24 ¾”, and 24 ¾”, order kitchen blinds measuring 24 inches in length.
• Measure Depth (optional): If you want to install blinds inside the recess of your kitchen window, do measure depth and match it with the product specifications.
• Deduction: Do not make any deductions. We’ll do it for you.

FAQs about Kitchen Window Treatments

What is the best window covering for kitchen windows?

Unsure what is the best window treatment for kitchens? Due to the high humidity of kitchens, we highly recommend window treatments that are durable and not susceptible to damage from moisture, i.e., faux wood blinds, faux wood shutters, & roller shades. We also recommend Roman shades and sheer shades due to their customizability and adaptability to neutral colors.

What is the best thing to put on a kitchen window?

Moisture-resistant and fireproof shades, blinds, shutters, and inexpensive removable window films in solid or decorative patterns are the best things to put on a kitchen window. Each option is available in solid or decorative patterns and can filter light and provide privacy.

What is on trend for kitchen windows?

Shutters are on trend for kitchen windows because they are easy to clean and give you a lot of control on light, privacy, and operation. Also, they come in different details and finishes and work equally well in both modern and more traditional spaces.

Should kitchen windows have blinds or curtains?

Blinds - specifically waterproof blinds - are far more suitable for kitchen windows than curtains. Kitchen blinds have a streamlined shape, fit in a little easier and look modern. They are also significantly easier to clean in case they’re splashed, making them a better choice for busy areas.

On the other hand, curtains will suffer both cosmetically and functionally due to steam and humidity in most kitchens. Their gathered or pleated fabric will start to fall apart and look scruffy. Plus, curtains represent a greater potential fire risk in the kitchen than blinds.

What is in style for kitchen window coverings?

For optimal kitchen functionality, homeowners prioritize moisture-resistant, easy-to-clean materials and kid-safe, ventilating designs, such as:

• Retractable thermal blinds
• Retractable solar shades for kitchens
• Faux wood blinds
• Linen cafe curtains
• Sheer curtains
• Venetian blinds
• Woven wood shades
• Roman shades

How can I dress my kitchen window without curtains?

Here are alternatives to enhance overall design aesthetic and functionality of kitchen windows without curtains:

1. Blinds
2. Shades
3. Shutters
4. Roman shades
5. Privacy screens
6. Stained glass
7. Frosted glass 
8. Hanging plants
