Finding the right blinds for your kitchen isn’t always as simple as picking something that looks nice there’s a lot more that goes into finding the perfect blinds. Your kitchen is typically one of the most used rooms in the house, and it brings its own challenges when it comes to window coverings. Heat, steam, splashes and constant activity mean you need something that works well and lasts, as well as something that suits your taste.

Plus, if your kitchen is over looked by neighbours or faces out to the street privacy and light control need to be considered as well.

Feeling overwhelmed? You’re not alone! We’ve been supplying kitchen blinds in Preston and Leyland for years, and we know exactly what works for a kitchen and what doesn’t. With our wide selection of quality blinds, we can help you find a solution that works for your kitchen and looks fantastic too.

What Makes Kitchen Blinds Different?

Unlike other rooms in the home, kitchens come with their own environment. Steam from cooking, humidity, strong smells and food splatters create a very specific environment for your blinds to handle. All of this means kitchen blinds need to be made from materials that can stand up to all of this. Some fabrics might look lovely in a living room, but pop them in a kitchen and they won’t last as long.

That’s why we always recommend practical yet stylish options like faux wood blinds, roller blinds or aluminium Venetian blinds for the kitchen. These are easy to wipe clean, resistant to moisture and still come in a huge range of colours and finishes to suit any style of kitchen.

Light and Privacy Balance

A kitchen should be light and welcoming, especially if it’s where you spend a lot of time. But that doesn’t mean you want the sun glaring in at full blast every morning. A problem many homeowners are noticing at the moment is that too much direct sunlight can make the room too hot and blinds are the perfect way to combat this.

In built-up areas like Preston or Leyland, privacy is also a big factor. With the right blinds, you don’t have to choose between light or privacy. Venetian or vertical blinds are a great way to control both. Both styles of blind can easily be tilted to let the light in while stopping nosy neighbours seeing into your kitchen.

Style That Suits Your Home

We spend so much time in our kitchens, it makes sense to choose blinds that make you happy and suit your style. Whether you’re after a modern look with clean lines or something more cosy and traditional, there’s a blind to match your space.

Roller blinds are a popular choice because they’re simple, smart and don’t take up much room. They can also be made in a wide range of patterns and colours, so you can match them with your tiles, cupboards or flooring. Wooden blinds, or faux wood if you prefer, add a bit of warmth and texture, which works beautifully in farmhouse-style kitchens or more classic interiors.

If you’re not sure what would look best, we offer home visits across Preston and Leyland, where we can bring samples, measure up and help you choose something that ties everything together. We’ll take you through all of your options to help you find your perfect blinds.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Let’s face it, kitchens are a messy room in general. Whichever blinds you choose for this room need to be durable and easy to clean. Aluminium Venetians, faux wood blinds and PVC rollers are some of the easiest to keep looking good. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is all they need to get back to looking their best. Fabric blinds can also work if they’re moisture-resistant or coated, but you’ll need to be a bit more careful with spills and whether or not we’d recommend them depends on where your windows are in relation to your hob and sink.

Made to Measure Blinds from Blinds of Preston

The best results come from blinds that are made to measure. Kitchens often have awkward window sizes, bays, or windows placed right next to worktops. Off-the-shelf blinds often just don’t cut it. They either don’t fit properly or leave gaps that let in too much light.
