1. Cellular Shades

Their cellular construction offers a layer of insulation reducing energy consumption and giving you control of the temperature in your kitchen, whether you’re socializing or cooking. You can choose either the single-cell design or if you want maximum energy efficiency, a honeycomb construction. Technological advances ensure ease of operation without the mess of cords.

We offer various shades in a variety of fabrics, colors, and textures. We can match any kitchen décor. Some manufacturers provide an option to control the amount of light by combining two weights of fabric in one shade. Sliding doors present their own challenges when trying to find window coverings. Vertical cellular shades could be just the thing you need. We work with a number of manufacturers who can create a beautiful and practical cellular shade solution for what is often a high-traffic portal to your home.

2. Roman Shades

These timeless window coverings use a slat or eyelet construction to create soft clean lines. They resemble drapery when down and stack neatly when up. Many homeowners opt for white and stainless schemes for their kitchens these days. Roman shades are a great way to spice up a neutral palette with colors, patterns, and textures.

Roman Shades are available in a wide range of luxurious fabrics. They can be constructed with several different folding styles, including flat, slatted, relaxed, and soft fold. If you have pets or small children, we can make sure the rear cords are covered for safety.

3. Dual/Banded Shades

These sheer shades help to soften the light coming into your kitchen while at the same time protecting your privacy. Many of them are constructed using two layers of a sheer fabric with a rigid vane or complementary opaque fabric between them.

We have manufacturers who can provide motorized mounts for your shades that either have a remote or an app on your smartphone. Imagine how easy it would be to change the angle of the vane or opaque fabric, or even raise and lower the shade without having to cross the room. This makes these shades a great choice.

It will soften the hard lines of many modern kitchen appliances. They can be made from such varied materials as bamboo, an assortment of grasses, reeds, and jute.

They are designed to maintain their shape and offer a durable alternative to other shades. You can use them alone or add a liner to boost privacy as well as light control. They will most often operate in the same manner as roman shades.
