Here are four things to consider when choosing treatments to give your kitchen a polished, personalized look.

How to Pick Kitchen Window Treatments

1.

Choose Decorative Details

Kitchen window treatments serve as pretty accents in your workspace.

Increase Light Control

Sunlight, particularly UVA and UVB rays, can be damaging.

To protect your space from too much sun, look for kitchen window treatments that advertise protection.

For added protection, consider adding sun-filtering protection to the windows themselves.

Install new ones with a low-E coating, or line old windowpanes with an adhesive or static-cling film.

Consider Cleanability

Keeping kitchen window treatments clean is a must.

The material makes all the difference in how easy it is to maintain your treatments.
