Kitchen Curtains Made Simple

No kitchen is ever really complete without the addition of curtains or a Roman blind – even a modern version. That’s because they add a sense of cosiness and completeness to the room, especially if it’s the kind of kitchen where the family like to sit around the table or central island discussing the day’s news and reading.

At Curtains Made Simple we have a wide variety of fabric suitable for custom made curtains or blinds to choose from. These are supplied by some of the Uks leading fabric design houses such as Andrew Martin, Ian Mankin and Fibre Naturelle. They consist of patterns and textures to suit vintage kitchens, country style kitchen or even state of the art kitchens. The following two Roman blinds pictured are from the Cabbages & Roses collection on our portal.

   

Clarke & Clarke’s Modern Classics, Vintage Classics and Vintage Florals are all certainly worth a look for a varied selection of kitchen curtain and blinds fabric.

Choosing Colours for Kitchen Curtains and Roman Blinds

The colour of your kitchen curtains or kitchen roman blinds will depend on the shade of your current kitchen walls, cupboards and accessories. If your kitchen is a neutral shade for instance you can go to town on bright, vibrant curtains for a modern look with matching accents such as the same colour of fruit bowl, trays, tea towels, napkins, table cloth, kettle etc. Orange and yellow are particularly good colours for kitchens, which should be bright and cheery places anyway we feel here at Curtains Made Simple. Alternatively you could head for vintage fabric to maintain a toned down and countrified look to the room.

Buy Washable Curtains for Your Kitchen

The kitchen, probably more than any other room in your home, will contain odours and steam which will inevitable stick to your curtains. As a result you’re going to have to wash your kitchen curtains or Roman blind on a regular basis so it makes sense to buy a fabric that’s easy to wash and care for. Thankfully that’s not difficult these days as many can be thrown directly into the washing machine rather than having to be dry cleaned or hand washed.

Types of Kitchen Curtains

Most interior designers recommend buying lightweight curtains for the kitchen window to ensure plenty of sunlight is still able to stream into the room.

You might also want to think about matching your kitchen curtains to those in your dining room, especially if it’s open plan.

Sometimes kitchen curtains don’t need to reach all the way down to the window sill but just spread across the top quarter of the frame; that way sunlight still gets in. Then again, full length curtains are an option if your kitchen has French doors opening out to a patio area and you’re seeking a bit of privacy, especially if you dine in your kitchen.

Whatever your design needs here at Curtains Made Simple we’ll be happy to custom make your curtains or blinds for you. All we need is your measurements and choice of fabric. Our policy is to deliver within four weeks of an order being placed.
