Duette® Honeycomb Shades In Kitchen

If you’re looking to remodel your kitchen, you might feel a little overwhelmed. For many Window Treats customers here in Monmouth Beach, figuring out where to start is the hardest part. However, we have a few ideas about how to compartmentalize the features so you can really narrow down how to approach the tasks. Read on for more!

Components of a Kitchen

For any kitchen, design and functionality are at the top of the list—you want kitchen components that optimize workflow, food preparation, and cleanup. On top of function, style matters too—the kitchen is your space to not only prepare meals but also to entertain.

• Countertops. There are numerous types of countertop material, each of which offers different style, durability, and price range. Consider how a backsplash—like metal, stone, tile, or glass—might look with your countertop choice.
• Cabinets. Cabinets are the majority of a remodeled kitchen’s look and feel. You’ll choose your door style, as well as any stain or color.
• Sink. You have lots of sink options these days, including whether it’s standard or extra-deep single or double bowl or what it’s made of: stainless steel, enamel-coated cast iron, solid surfaced, or composite. Plus, you’ll need to decide whether you want to mount it flush with the countertop or above it.
• Faucet. The faucet’s functionality is important. You can choose from whether it has one handle or two, whether it’s shaped as a gooseneck for higher clearances, and whether it has a sprayer and/or a water filter. You’ll want to match the finish to the overall look of the kitchen, choosing from options like nickel, matte black, chrome, and bronze.
• Hardware. Cabinet handles and hinges are both functional and a part of your overall design. Be sure to choose a finish that matches or complements your cabinets, counters, or appliances such as chrome, ceramic, glass, or wood.

Window Fashions for Your New Kitchen

Complete your kitchen remodel by selecting window fashions that match your lifestyle and aesthetic.
Shutters a low-maintenance alternative that will still give you control over lightyou’re your view. If your window is over the sink, think about the Palm Beach™ Polysatin Shutter from Hunter Douglas, which is constructed with UV-resistant vinyl, which helps ensure it won’t warp, crack, fade, chip, peel, or discolor, regardless of extreme heat or moisture.
Blinds, including aluminum or faux wood, work well in kitchens with high moisture. Look to Hunter Douglas Everwood® Alternative Wood Blinds or Modern Precious® Aluminum Blinds, which never go out of style, can be cleaned fairly easily, and are a good value.
Shades add a more contemporary look in the kitchen and work best if the window is a bit removed from cooking surfaces and the sink. Consider Hunter Douglas Designer Roller and Screen Shades, Duette® Honeycomb Shades, and Provenance® Woven Woods. Keep in mind that shades made from fabric may be susceptible to grease and food stains.
