If you’re like many Window Treats customers here in the Monmouth Beach area, you might be shaking your head at this blog’s title, thinking “But sculleries are from Victorian England!” And you’re not wrong. But as it turns out, we’ve been hearing about more and more people creating or refurbishing sculleries today, and for some pretty good reasons. So it makes sense to discuss some of the best treatments we’d recommend if those sculleries have windows. Check them out below, and be sure to contact one of our representatives for advice on your particular window situation.
What Is a Scullery?
Sculleries offer numerous advantages, and, because homeowners are more frequently cooking at home in recent times, they’re being relied on a great deal. A scullery can provide extra storage for pots and pans and small appliances, new counters for food prep, and another sink for cleanup. Plus, they’re a space to hide the kitchen mess when entertaining, and they help keep the main kitchen area (which is what guests might see) clean and more pristine.
Window Treatment Options
Because of where they might sit in a home, not all sculleries have windows; however, if the scullery does have one, it’s best to cover it, for all the same reasons to cover a window elsewhere in the home: protection from UV rays, light control, privacy control, and more. Plus, it’s another chance to reflect the style of the home, so everything from aesthetics to functionality will be important in the window treatment.
- Easy maintenance. High moisture in the scullery could be a downfall for some window treatments, so if your scullery is very humid, consider aluminum or faux wood blinds, such as Hunter Douglas Everwood® Alternative wood Blinds or Modern Precious® Aluminum Blinds. They never go out of style, can be cleaned fairly easily, and are a good value.
- Modern style. If your style leans toward classy elegance, Roman shades might be for you. They bring a touch of sophistication to any space, combining the softness of drapery with crisp, clean folds. Especially in sculleries that are all white, Vignette® Modern Roman Shades add a hint of pizzazz through color, pattern, and texture
- Energy efficiency. To keep indoor air from leaking out or outdoor air from creeping in, be sure to treat the scullery window, to help save on heating and cooling costs. Insulating window fashions like Duette® Cellular Shades can trap air at the windows, ensuring that what’s inside stays inside and what’s outside stays out. Plus, they provide excellent light and privacy control, sound absorption, and style.
- Softening light. Sheers can soften light entering the space and leave the room with a welcoming glow. Silhouette® Window Shadings are designed with the Signature S-Vane™ that appears to be floating between two sheers. Pirouette® Window Shadings offer beautifully contoured fabric vanes attached to a sheer backing.
