Blinds for the Kitchen
The Ideal Kitchen
The kitchen is the modern hub of the home. It has evolved from a purely functional cooking area into a dynamic, social space where families eat, work, and entertain. Because it serves so many purposes, the ideal kitchen must be both welcoming and highly practical. It needs to be a comfortable place for people to gather, but also an efficient and safe workspace for preparing food.
Given its role, a kitchen is exposed to more heat, moisture, and potential spills than any other room. Therefore, all surfaces and fittings must be durable, hygienic, and easy to clean. This is especially true for window dressings, which need to withstand the demands of the environment without absorbing odours or stains.
The ideal kitchen is also a light and airy space. Good natural light makes the room feel bigger and more pleasant to be in. The perfect window dressing will allow you to control this light, reducing glare when needed while still providing privacy. Above all, the kitchen must be a safe environment, and this includes ensuring that any blind cords or operating systems do not pose a risk. The ideal kitchen successfully blends this essential practicality with a style that makes it the true heart of the house.
New Dawn’s Solutions for Kitchen
Choosing the right blind for your kitchen means selecting a product that is stylish, practical, and able to cope with heat and moisture. At New Dawn, we can advise on the best materials for your specific needs, but it is important to know that real wood blinds are not recommended as they can warp over time.
Venetian blinds are an easy and versatile choice for any kitchen. We recommend Faux Wood Venetian Blinds, which offer the classic appearance of wood but are made from durable materials that can handle humidity. Coated Metal Venetian Blinds are another excellent option as they are robust and simple to wipe clean.
If you prefer a fabric look, Roller Blinds are a very popular solution. They are available in a huge variety of styles and can be made from specialist materials that are wipe-clean, moisture-resistant, and even flame-retardant. For kitchens with patio doors or full-length windows, Vertical Blinds are a great option. If you opt for a fabric blind, our team can show you a range of easy to clean fabrics to ensure your choice remains practical and beautiful.
