Using the right kitchen blinds in your home

We caught up with Victory Blinds’ Tony Cassar to discuss ways to get the best window blinds for your kitchen.

What's a durable choice for kitchen window blinds?

For window treatments for kitchens, I'd recommend Holland roller blinds. They are simple to clean, can be drawn up conveniently and are adjustable thanks to an easily controlled heavy-duty chain or automated system.

What's a common mistake people make with window furnishings?

Choosing a product that's not easily maintained and doesn't permit enough light, especially in the working areas of the kitchen. A common ergonomic mistake is to install a blind that's not easy to lift up and down, with the possibility of soiled hands or splashes from wet areas.

Is it necessary to match the kitchen blinds with those in other areas of the home?

Not necessarily - the kitchen is one of the most important areas of the home. It's used by the entire family, so function and aesthetics are paramount, meaning co-ordination with the rest of the house is not essential.

What factors need to be considered when window blinds?

Consider factors of durability, ease of cleaning, the ability to be cleared away and products that permit enough natural light and don't contain odours. If you have any questions you would like to ask, please email enquiries@victoryblinds.com.au

What tips do you have for choosing window furnishings?

Kitchen blinds should complement the cabinetry work and decor, but must always acknowledge that a kitchen is a wet area with many simultaneous functions, for example cooking, odours, steam and heat.

What are some interior design trends for kitchen blinds?

There has been a move away from slatted window coverings - especially above wet areas. The most popular products are easily maintained window coverings that can be drawn away from the sink, avoiding splashes.

Roller blinds provide an excellent kitchen window treatment solution, as they can be drawn and adjusted using an easily controlled heavy-duty chain or automated system and are simple to clean.
