The center of family gatherings and where parties always seem to end up, the kitchen is one of the most highly trafficked rooms in the home. And with stylish window treatments, you can make your kitchen even more inviting. But before you choose your kitchen window treatments, you need to take into account where your windows are located. If they're near the sink, stove or other food-prep areas where your shades may come into contact with water, steam or grease splatters, you might consider faux wood blinds, faux wood shutters or vinyl roller shades because they're very durable and easy to clean with a damp cloth.

If your kitchen windows are in a safer location, you could also look at window treatments like Roman shades, roller shades (in any fabric) and woven wood shades. Also, think about how much you cook and how much heat is coming into your kitchen. Cellular shades offer superior energy efficiency and can help keep you comfortable all year long.

A classy and elegant alternative to traditional window shades, roman shades combine the softness of a drapery with a clean, crisp appearance. And in modern kitchens today that are often all white or stainless, Roman shades are a great way to color a neutral palette with colors, patterns and textures. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades, for instance, are available in a wide range of luxurious fabrics, even down to the fabric-wrapped hardware. And like Duette shades, you can combine a light-filtering shade with a room darkening back panel that both roll into a single headrail.

Vignette shades have no exposed rear cords, which is a safer choice if you have small children or pets. Choose from two styles: a flat or full fold that rolls right into the headrail, or a full fold that stacks neatly below the headrail.
