Our Best Window Coverings for Kitchens That Are Robust

The kitchen is the hardest-working room in the home, and the windows take a beating that the others in your home likely never will. Steam from the stove, splatters near the sink, swings in heat and humidity, and grease in the air all add up.

So, when homeowners ask our Walls & Windows team for the best window coverings for kitchens, our answer always starts with the same word: durable.

We’ve compiled our favorite Hunter Douglas styles for a room as demanding as this.

Why Treating a Kitchen Window is Different

Before picking a style, it helps to know what you're up against. A kitchen window covering has to handle moisture without warping, wipe clean when splatters occur, and withstand temperature changes day after day. And window treatments with natural wood or delicate fabrics can struggle in this type of environment.

The good news, however, is that several Hunter Douglas window treatments are built specifically to thrive in it.

Faux Wood Blinds Provide a Durable Yet Classic Aesthetic

If you love the warm look of natural wood but your window is anywhere near heat or water, Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds are the answer. Made from an alternative wood material, these window blinds look like genuine wood, but resist the warping, cracking, and fading that humidity causes in the real thing.

They're also among the most durable window blinds you can install in a kitchen. A swift wipe with a damp cloth clears away cooking splatter, and the slats tilt for easy light control and privacy.

For the busiest kitchen windows, faux wood blinds are tough to beat.

Vinyl Shutters Are Built for Heat and Moisture

For a built-in, architectural look that shrugs off the elements, interior shutters are an excellent choice for the kitchen—as long as you pick the right material. Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are made from a UV-resistant Polysatin™ compound.

This shutter style is guaranteed never to warp, crack, fade, chip, peel, or discolor, even in the face of constant heat and moisture.

They’re one of the most rugged options on the market, making them a natural fit for kitchens.

Roller Shades Keep It Clean, Simple, and Wipeable

When you want a sleek, modern profile, Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades are a smart pick, especially for those breakfast nooks. Their flat, simple surface has no slats or folds where grease and dust like to collect, so cleaning is quick and easy.

These window shades come in a selection of globally sourced fabrics and opacities, giving a kitchen a crisp, contemporary aesthetic while being easy to maintain.
