23rd December 2021

In many homes, the kitchen is the main hub. Every family member uses the kitchen in some form – whether it’s the kids grabbing a snack, the parents making meals or just entertaining guests and friends. If you have enough room in your kitchen, it might also be the place where you eat some of your meals. It’s for this reason that you want to make it a pleasant, inviting environment.

While there are plenty of ways to make your kitchen look great, one area we want to focus on this month is choosing the best blinds for kitchens. Take a look at our handy guide for what to consider, the most popular styles and what you can expect to pay.

Things to consider

Choosing the right blinds for your kitchen means thinking about the environment they’re going to be in and what you want from them. Here are four things you might need to think about for your kitchen:

  • Heat and humidity – Because there is often a lot of cooking going on, most kitchens can get quite warm, while steam rising from pots and pans on the hob might create a humid and damp atmosphere. This means choosing a material that won’t warp or crack over time under such conditions.

  • Splash zones – If any of your windows are behind the sink, think about the potential for splashing when it comes to your blinds. Again, water doesn’t mix well with some materials so it’s something to consider carefully when it comes to where your windows are located.

  • Light control – Kitchens need as much light as possible to make it feel more inviting. Think about choosing a blind style that will help you control light, increasing it when you need it or blocking it out when there is direct sunlight streaming in.

  • Privacy control – Similarly, you’ll want to control privacy in your kitchen just like in any room. This is especially important if your kitchen faces onto the street or if it is overlooked by windows from other properties.

Blind styles for kitchens

There are so many fantastic choices available when it comes to blinds for any room in the home these days, but here are just three of the most popular choices for kitchens.

  • Roller blinds for kitchens – Simple to operate and with clean lines, roller blinds are ideal for contemporary kitchens when not placed around sink areas.
  • Venetian blinds for kitchens – Always one of the most elegant blind styles, Venetian blinds offer that control over privacy and lighting and will stand up to the test as long as they’re not made of wood.
  • Window shutters for kitchens – Not sure if blinds are right for your kitchen? Shutters are becoming increasingly popular for their lighting control and their ability to add a classical look to the home.

Still unsure on styles? Not to worry, at James Martin Blinds, we have a huge range to choose from – simply browse through our blinds page on this website to find the right one for you.

 

How much do kitchen blinds cost?

One question people often have is ‘how much do kitchen blinds cost?’ and it’s understandable. Every project has a budget to go along with the style and design considerations.

However, there are a number of factors that contribute to the cost of kitchen blinds. These include the material, the size and the design features you opt for. For that reason, it’s hard to give an accurate estimate for kitchen blinds, but generally, standard roller blinds are often the cheaper options, while Venetian blinds usually cost a little more due to the additional components. At James Martin Blinds, we can offer finance on selected products to help you spread the cost of your blinds – so you can get the style you want for your home without having to compromise.
