Kitchen Curtains Ideas

Kitchen curtains serve two basic purposes - maintaining privacy and filtering sunlight. They are easy to clean and maintain. You can either shake them daily or hand wash them once in a month. Hot vinegar solution works best for stained curtains.

Curtains make kitchen a conducive place to chat and dine together. It not only gives you the much needed private space, but also allows you to concentrate more on cooking. Bamboo kitchen curtains are the most popular draperies used in modern kitchens. They are featured with thin, vertically aligned bamboo slivers, draped to cover windows and doorways. They are highly inexpensive and used to prevent dust or leaves from flying in.

Color is another important decision. If you want to optimize the sunlight entering your kitchen then select a white or a light colored curtain. This will let the sunlight filter through it and block the glare. You will have to be careful while selecting light colors. For instance if you put up a light blue curtain, your kitchen will look blue when the curtains are drawn. The color of the light will change depending on the weather. It is a good idea to test the curtain material of your choice on a sunny day to see if you like the effect and like it enough for it to be a part of your kitchen. Dark, heavy materials will make your kitchen look small and choose them only if you want to block sunlight from your kitchen. Light curtains are easy to wash and therefore easy to maintain. Dark curtains may hide stains but if they are heavy, washing them will be labor intensive.
