Best Blinds for Your Kitchen: Style and Practicality in One
If you're updating your kitchen in Gloucester or Cheltenham, don’t overlook your blinds. Kitchens get humid, steamy, and messy – so choosing the right window treatment makes a big difference. At Lakeside Blinds, we supply made-to-measure blinds that aren’t just stylish – they’re designed to cope with everything your kitchen throws at them.
What to Look for in Kitchen Blinds
Blinds for a kitchen need to be:
Moisture-resistant
Easy to wipe clean
Durable around heat and steam
We recommend avoiding fabric or real wood – they can absorb cooking smells and struggle with splashes and humidity. Instead, go for PVC, vinyl, faux wood, or aluminium, which are all ideal in a busy kitchen.
Top Kitchen Blind Options
Roller Blinds Simple, smooth and wipeable, PVC or vinyl roller blinds are perfect above the sink or hob. They come in a huge range of colours and patterns – so they look good too.
Faux Wood Blinds or Shutters
Love the look of wood but need something practical? Faux wood blinds or shutters are a smart alternative – they won’t warp, and they’re easy to clean.
Aluminium Venetian Blinds Great for light control, and they stand up well to heat and moisture. Just give the slats a quick wipe to keep them looking their best.
Vertical Blinds (in PVC or vinyl)
A good option for larger windows or patio doors. Just make sure you pick an easy-clean material – not fabric!
Blinds to Avoid in Kitchens Steer clear of Roman blinds, real wood, or anything fabric-based in the kitchen. They’re harder to clean, absorb smells, and may not last as long in a steamy, high-traffic space.
