In the event that your kitchen area is a room flooded with sunlight, pay attention to options that will help a little to shade the room. It is also worth turning your eyes to more dense curtains for the kitchen, if you have a first or low second floor. This will allow you to protect yourself from unwanted peeks inside you.
The length of the curtains depends on several factors:
- The wall near the window is not closed by anything - long options fit the floor.
- Is there a sink near the window? Pay attention to Roman curtains, blinds.
- Is there a dining table in front of the window? Look at modern short curtains that have an arch-shaped cutout. Thus, you will have unhindered access to the window, as well as a view of the street.

The main thing is to have a measure and not overload the window opening. Remember that loading windows, you simultaneously load the dimensions of the room.
What modern curtains look like
The latest curtains in 2017 are draperies of necessarily bright, warm shades with a small print. In modern fashion, it is not at all important to adhere to the color of furniture, flooring. Just dilute the interior with chairs or chair coverings made of fabric similar to curtain fabric, as well as matching napkins.
The material from which modern curtains, tulle, curtains to the kitchen are made is a very durable fabric that can withstand more than one wash. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the factor that it must dry quickly.
The most optimal option for the kitchen area are shutters or washable blinds.
Curtains with tulle will look great in the kitchen with huge windows and high ceilings, if you have a kitchen studio, combined with a loggia or balcony. This window design requires a two-row, two-profile cornice. You can attach to it using ties, loops, hooks, clothespins with rings, eyelets.
Eyelets are small rings made of plastic or metal; they have a diameter of one to five centimeters. Border the holes at the top of the curtains. The holes must be strung on a string, round cornice. This allows you to collect the curtains into beautiful softly falling folds. It looks very stylish and expensive. Eyelets can be of any color, which in turn is ideal for almost any interior.
Classic version
The classic version of the design of window openings is not losing popularity - this is the use of light, translucent curtains in the kitchen. In order for the product to have heavier edges, it is necessary to sew a frill from silk or jacquard along the edges.
Thanks to transparent organza curtains with a lambrequin, you can design your windows very nicely. Choosing curtains with lambrequins do not forget that large lambrequins will visually reduce your kitchen area. It is better to refuse them if your room is not very large.
Curtains in the neo-classic style are curtains without patterns, without gilding. Suitable for any interior.
Roman curtains
This option of curtains is ideal for those who like blinds. In the middle of the fabric upholstery there are cords that raise the curtain fabric up or lower it down.
Such options are very simple and look beautiful. Fabric for their production can be used any - from very light to the most dense texture. In any case, such draperies will have an original and spectacular appearance.
Features
Curtains in the interior are not only a decorative element, but also carry a certain functionality. And on what requirements are put forward to them, their choice depends.
The kitchen is usually cooked a lot and the curtains quickly absorb odors and get dirty. In this regard, curtains in the kitchen should be chosen from materials that repel dirt, or from those that are easy to wash and then iron. Materials such as cotton or polyester are great.
In the kitchens there is an open fire, or it happens that hot oil begins to spray. This can cause the curtains to ignite. Therefore, modern industry produces kitchen curtains with impregnation against fire.
How long should kitchen curtains be? It depends on many factors.
- If the wall where the window is located is empty, it is recommended to use curtains in the floor.
- If there is a sink near the window, the best option would be roller blinds, Roman blinds or blinds.
- If there is a table in front of the window, then the best option would be short curtains with an arch-shaped cutout on the tulle, so that sitting at the table, a view of the street opens up and there is unhindered access to the windowsill.
If the curtains in your kitchen are just a decorative element, then here you can give a place to a flight of imagination. A curtain of tulle or organza will look quite harmoniously in your kitchen. You can also choose any picture. Wildflowers or fruits on the curtain are great here.
But if they are called, for example, to protect from the sun, then you need to seriously approach the choice of both style and material. Here, curtains made of thick fabric, roller blinds and also blinds are quite suitable.
When choosing clothes for windows to the kitchen, do not forget about the style in which this room is made in general. They should not contribute to the overall picture of the kitchen.
You can’t hang curtains with oranges in a classic interior, heavy curtains, possibly with lambrequins, are more suitable here.
Another feature of placing curtains in the kitchen is how much space they occupy. If the wall adjacent to the window is not occupied with anything, do not hang the curtain rod and place the curtains only above the window. It will look cropped, incomplete. It is necessary to close the entire wall with curtains, then the look of the kitchen will change for the better.
If there is access to the balcony from the kitchen, then in the curtain you need to make a cut, for unhindered access to the door, or instead of curtains, hang a muslin.

There are several aspects to choosing a particular line of colors. Here are the main ones.
- The choice of colors in accordance with the style of the room. For example, for kitchens in high-tech style, curtains of cold shades are suitable.

For example, try adding ethnic motifs to your kitchen, choose curtains with colors like those of a shawl, or pick other fancy patterns. It's time to experiment.
But do not forget:
- if you have colored wallpaper, then the curtains are sure to choose plain,
- light curtains increase space,
- a large drawing visually reduces the room,
- not too large pattern on the diagonal visually increases the height of the ceilings.
Interior ideas
The modern window design is not only fashionable and beautiful, but also practical. Here are some ideas for various stylistic solutions.
Small kitchen design
The main task in such a limited space is to transmit a large amount of light, thereby visually increasing the space. Light translucent fabrics of light shades are the best choice here. In no case do not burden the windows with curtains with many layers, lambrequins, various voluminous draperies. It is without a doubt beautiful, but it will make the interior heavier, taking expensive centimeters of space.
It is better to choose plain curtains from tulle, organza, cotton. Large ornaments are unacceptable. Vertical stripes, however, will help increase the height of the ceiling.
If the window in the kitchen is small, you need to provide for the size of the curtains wider than the window opening.
Access to the windowsill should be open, as this space can also be equipped with benefit.
The most suitable types of kitchen curtains for a small area are Roman, Austrian, roller blinds and all kinds of options. You can also purchase ready-made curtains with an arch-shaped curtain.
If the kitchen is on the shady side, it is appropriate to decorate the window with only a small hard lambrequin.
It's no secret that the biggest problem for a small kitchen is its quickly annoying interior. Therefore, to make changes, it is recommended to purchase several sets of curtains so that you can change them depending on your mood.
Design for a kitchen with a balcony
Kitchen with a balcony is the mistress's dream. On it you can equip not only an additional cozy place where you can hide from the hustle and bustle, but also arrange an additional place for food storage.
Since the exit to the balcony should open unobstructed, shuttlecocks and large lambrequins will not be suitable for window design. In addition, according to the laws of physics, with the balcony door open, air from the stove will be directed towards the balcony, carrying odors and fats with it. That is why when choosing fabrics for curtains on such a window, it is necessary to opt for durable, easy-care materials.
Here are some options for a kitchen window with a balcony:
- stylish Japanese panels fit perfectly into the kitchen with a high-tech stylistic solution,
- classic long curtains are assembled with a clamp on one side so as not to interfere with the opening of the door,
- roller blinds of different lengths, where a short curtain is placed on the window, and up to the floor above the balcony door,
- combination - place a Japanese panel on the door, and hang a roller blind on the window in color,
- the hard lambrequin at the top of the window will help to connect the curtains above the window and the door into a single unit,
- Kiss, which must be secured with hairpins so that it does not interfere with the exit to the balcony.
Two windows
Most designers come to the conclusion that if windows occupy a large part of the area in a small kitchen, then the best option is to leave them completely without textiles, while painting the frames with bright colors. If the room is large, then you can decorate the windows with good curtains of various variations from classics, French curtains to Japanese panels.
Curtains in a studio apartment
If you want to distinguish between the area where food is prepared and the relaxation area, in apartments with a combined kitchen and living room, it is necessary to emphasize the difference between these two rooms with the help of textiles on the windows. To do this, on the windows in the living room you can place rich curtains with lambrequins, shuttlecocks, and in the kitchen area to place simple curtains with a simple design. You can combine these windows by placing on the second hard lambrequin made of fabric, which decorated the first window.
The kitchen is the most important place of the family hearth. Here, they not only eat food, but also solve many problems, and gather with friends, so it is very important to create a cozy and comfortable atmosphere in this room, which is suitable for cooking, eating, and socializing.
What curtains can I choose for the kitchen
Curtains in the kitchen should be beautiful and practical, complement the interior and protect from prying views from the street. They should not interfere with the workflow in the kitchen and it is advisable to provide periodic access to the window. There are several varieties of curtains that are used exclusively in the kitchen.
Short curtains
Short curtains for the kitchen are perhaps the most convenient and common option. They are easy to care for, do not interfere in a cramped space and do not prevent the frequent opening of a window for ventilation.
Short curtains are ideal for small kitchens, and blinds, depending on the location of the slats, are able to visually expand the room or raise a low ceiling. The length of short curtains can be very different: to the radiator, higher than the windowsill and even no longer than the lambrequin (for Scandinavian and rustic styles). Short curtains can be divided into 2 large types:
Classic straight curtains or curtains: they are made mainly of natural materials, can be plain and with a print, can be complemented by light tulle (also short). Typically, such curtains are used in traditional cuisine, successfully fit into the styles of Provence and country, are found in modern and minimalism.
Modern - These include all types of blinds, roller blinds, Roman. They are easily lifted up and adjusted to provide the required amount of light transmission. Like classic curtains, there are plain products on sale, with print and photo printing.
Blinds can be combined with curtains, lambrequins and tulle. Usually they are hung in modern laconic kitchens in the style of hi-tech, cantemporari, minimalism, loft.
Short curtains can be made in the English style (gathered in horizontal folds and fixed with a cord at the required height), more elaborate French and Austrian curtains (textiles are draped). As a rule, such complex curtains are the prerogative of spacious kitchens.
Curtains on grommets
The main advantage of such curtains is the wide, even vertical folds formed due to the grommets. Such curtains have a very neat look and give the kitchen a sense of order. In addition, they easily slide / move apart along the ledge.
Curtains on grommets are an ideal option for modern styles: Scandinavian, American, Art Nouveau, hi-tech, loft, minimalism, fusion.
What to choose curtains on the grommets for the kitchen: short or long, light or dark, with print or plain depends exclusively on the size of the kitchen and the chosen style of interior.
Provence style
This style is very similar to the country style. Provence is a huge variety of exquisite accessories. Very light style. Complement curtains - ruffles. The interior of the room with them becomes more magnificent.
Kitchen blinds
For several years in a row, this type of window decoration has not lost its popularity and relevance. What are blinds? These are strips (narrow or wide, horizontal or vertical) that are interconnected. Using a special system, you can assemble them (raise the curtain), and also change the angle of rotation of the strips.
The most common material for the production of kitchen blinds is metal or vinyl. If you do not want to be puzzled by the cleaning of such curtains - think about inter-frame blinds. This is the design that will be placed inside the window frame. The control system is discharged through a small hole.
Whichever option you choose, don't be afraid to experiment. You can dilute modern with original forms of curtains. Play with the shape of the curtains - they can be straight or beveled. Minimalism - these are simple curtains, similar to Japanese or rolled. High-tech prefers gray, metallic tones, beige colors.
What they hang in the kitchen today: an overview of popular options
Even if the hood is powerful, and the faucet is modern and with a spray without spray, particles of food, water and grease on the window and adjacent surfaces cannot be avoided if it is located in the cooking zone. But even if the kitchen is spacious and the window is far away, designers still rarely decorate the windows in the kitchen with multilayer ones, and usually they select:
- something laconic, up to the windowsill: roller blinds or roman blinds, blinds,
- lightweight, "room" options without lambrequins and complex decor: curtains with tulle, only tulle or only curtains, curtains + roller blinds.

Roller blinds
An opaque web stretched over the shaft, when deployed, completely covers the window; when assembled, it is curled into a compact roll. This design can be mounted on the wall above the window opening or directly on the sash.
A window decorated with a roll of canvas alone may seem too ascetic. If such an effect was not expected initially, you can supplement the solution with curtains.
What are the features
- Ready-made roller blinds are easy to fit to the width of the window. The shaft together with the fabric can be cut manually.
- Do not machine washonly dry cleaning is permissible. To keep such curtains neat longer, manufacturers often treat the fabric with anti-mud impregnations. If you settled on such a decision, be sure to check with the seller about the impregnation.
- If you fasten the curtain to the sash, you can’t open the open window: when opening the roll will abut.
Curtains with lambrequins
Lambrequins in the kitchen will help hide the cornice and fasteners. However, based on the fact that they were invented by the French, they have a decorative purpose. Curtains with lambrequins are a complex combination of fabrics, draperies, and sometimes lace.
Lambrequin is ideal for classic interiors, rustic styles (Provence, shabby chic, country, rustic) and magnificent art deco.
In total there are about 30 types of lambrequins, however, when decorating a kitchen window, you must adhere to the rule - the smaller the kitchen, the easier it should be lambrequins. With lambrequins, you can combine Roman curtains, blinds, classic curtains and blinds, simple short curtains and tulle.
Roman and roller blinds
Roman and roller blinds have much in common. If the rolls are collected on a shaft from above, twisting into a roll, then the Roman are gathered in folds when lifting. Both of these options are very convenient for use in the kitchen. The absence of the need to pull them with your hands will keep the fabric clean for a long time, and a slight lift up will provide easy access to the windowsill.
If in a simple version such curtains can be used in modern laconic interior styles, then in combination with curtains or lambrequins, they perfectly fit into classic styles.
When choosing such curtains, you need to consider the size of the window, the size of the kitchen, the style of the interior, which side of the world the windows face:
- For rustic styles, curtains with rustic motifs are usually chosen - a cage, polka dots, floristry,
- For classics, vignettes, damask, large flowers on the canvas are suitable,
- For the Scandinavian style, you can choose curtains with stripes, zigzags, geometric ornaments,
- The design of curtains for modern minimalism and loft should also be minimalistic.
Jalousie
Blinds for the kitchen are the most practical option. They allow you to completely close the kitchen from prying eyes, with a simple movement to adjust the level of light transmission. They are not easily soiled, the material for lamellas, as a rule, is antistatic, has dirt and moisture repellent properties, it’s easy to care for them - just wipe the lamellas with a damp cloth.
Blinds in the kitchen can play the role of a catchy accent in a restrained interior, or they can act as a neutral element. Blinds will be appropriate in rustic styles, combined with lambrequins and curtains they will fit into the classics. As for modern styles - hi-tech, modern and minimalism, oh they are just made for them.
Green curtains
Green curtains in the kitchen - a cheerful and cheerful mood in the morning and pacification in the evening.
Nature abounds in green: from cool sea waves to saturated conifers:
- Garden green will look good with floral motifs or with a cell in a rustic style,
- Light green shades are ideal for creating an accent in a neutral room,
- Turquoise will look good in bright, well-lit kitchens,
- The mint shade on the curtains will perfectly dilute the chrome and metallic high-tech,
- Aspid green is a comfort factor in a kitchen with pine furniture.
Red curtains
Red curtains in the kitchen can never play the role of a neutral background. They will always be an accent and striking. Red curtains will help to realize the most ambitious ideas in any style in the kitchen, especially when you consider the huge range of colors.
Red curtains in combination with black look beautiful, but such a design will not suit everyone because of some aggressiveness. In a kitchen with white furniture, they will become an indicator of good taste. They will fit well into a cozy Provence (red curtains with white polka dots) and in a classic modern style. In high-tech, they will become just the missing color spot for harmony.
Gray curtains
We can safely say that the gray color in the interior has recently become a trend for designers. This also applies to gray curtains. If you want to match the modern trends of the kitchen interior, then buying gray wallpapers, be sure to pick up gray curtains for them. To create the perfect hi-tech curtains should be a rich metallic color and be deeper by the tone of the background.
Orange curtains
Orange curtains in the kitchen guarantee constant good mood. The combination of orange and olive or light green has become an unconditional hit of our time.Orange curtains will suit the kitchen of any shades, but you will have to support them with additional accents: upholstery on upholstered furniture, a kitchen apron of the same color or a bright lampshade.
Which kitchens will look good orange curtains:
- The kitchen with brown furniture is a traditional combination in oriental style,
- With white furniture - a great palette for modern styles,
- With violet or black - a bold combination for cutting-edge styles,
- With gray - a great harmonious combination.

Beige curtains in the kitchen will create a feeling of warmth, peace and proximity to nature. Beige curtains will look good in a brown kitchen, in white, in blue. With beige curtains, you can safely make a bright decor in the kitchen.
Choosing beige curtains, you can safely experiment with colors in the kitchen. For example, choose a kitchen set with a brighter facade: fresh greens or yellow, red and deep blue. For lovers of contrasting combinations, they will create the necessary effect in the kitchen with black furniture.
Brown curtains
There are a lot of shades of brown in nature: this is chocolate, coffee, the color of brown cola and all shades of wood. Curtains of coffee, chocolate, sand or classic brown will harmoniously combine with wooden furniture and floors. Dark brown classics give the kitchen an atmosphere of luxury.
The rich brown colors in the kitchen will blend in perfectly with the light finish. For a white kitchen, soft coffee and warm coffee shades will be an exquisite choice. In a beige kitchen, the best solution is to complement brown curtains of the same color with an apron. Brown bamboo shutters will look good in eco and rustic styles.
Purple curtains
Violet is a very complex color for the kitchen, although some psychologists believe that it completely discourages appetite, which may be useful for people prone to fullness. However, people who are capable of catching seductive shades of wine and grapes in it will definitely like it. For modern kitchens, you can choose curtains from light purple shades, especially since they blend perfectly with trendy gray.
Curtains with flowers
Curtains with floral prints for many centuries remain the preferred choice for the kitchen. They create a cozy atmosphere, bring personality to the interior.
According to the unwritten style requirements, there are several formats of floral prints characteristic of different designs:
- Country is characterized by a scattering of small discreet flowers that blend perfectly with wooden furniture,
- For English and Victorian styles, flowers in pastel colors are suitable,
- Large-style prints are common in the classic style,
- For modern styles, the emphasis is on one very large flower, applied to a pair of canvases.
If the owners of the kitchen have a negative attitude towards motley, the curtains are selected decorated with neutral floral ornaments: embroidered or cut.
Curtains in the kitchen from two colors
Two-color or combined curtains look original and beautiful in the kitchen.
There are several rules for combinations of shades:
- Contrast colors are the choice for modern kitchens, young families. One of the shades should overlap with elements of the kitchen decor,
- The combination of shades of one color creates a single space. Very often, this solution is used when sewing curtains with labrequins,
- Elastic harmonious combination should be selected in accordance with the general tone of the kitchen.
The combination of plain materials is suitable for kitchens decorated in styles - minimalism, modern, high-tech, modern. However, for non-standard solutions, it is possible to use fabrics with print that resonate with the colors found in the kitchen decoration. You can also dilute 2-color combinations with a cage, stripes, geometric or floral design - such ornaments look very organic in a kitchen setting.
How to choose curtains for the kitchen, depending on the style
How not to get lost in the variety of curtains on the kitchen and choose those who can decorate it and emphasize the chosen style.
Classic style
Classical style is usually associated with complex multi-layer designs, but such excesses are permissible in the bedroom or in the living room, but not in the kitchen. In a small kitchen, it is better to use elegant short curtains that fully meet the requirements of modern classics, but look much easier.
For an already formed interior with decorative excesses, you can pick up thin simple curtains with elegant draperies from tulle or organza. To make the decor more expressive, you can supplement it with lambrequins and pickups. Lambrequins, by the way, in a classic kitchen can be arbitrarily complex - they do not interfere with the functionality of the kitchen, and the room will acquire a luxurious look that matches the chosen style.
Perfectly fit into the design of the classic kitchen 2-layer combinations of short curtains with small curtains. The length of the canvases to the windowsill allows you to use it for the necessary needs.
High tech
Hi-tech kitchen curtains are usually selected in light cold colors, although other variations are acceptable. The texture of the curtains should be smooth. To diversify the curtains, but stay within the boundaries of style requirements, you can use graphic images of mechanisms or photo printing of similar subjects.
For hi-tech it is permissible to use accessories for curtains - eyelets or rivets, but they must be made of metal or imitate metal.
Minimalism
The design of curtains for this style does not tolerate accessories, magnificent draperies, fringe or tassels. Curtains should embody the characteristic stylistic rigor and restraint. Even cornices need to be used as simple as possible - an inconspicuous aluminum profile or a simple wooden plank.
The most suitable curtains for minimalism are rolled, Japanese, Roman. The blinds also look good, whose modesty and modesty correspond to the spirit of the interior. The color scheme in this style is no different, limited to pastel colors, gray, white and cult brown. Contrast combinations will help to avoid some dullness in the room.
Another stylistic requirement for curtains is monotony, there should not be any drawings, prints and decorations.
1. The color of the furniture
A universal solution for neutral gamma in a modern interior.
The pattern on the Roman curtains is combined with the metal curves of the vintage Singer machine, which became the basis for the dining table.
The muted grassy shade of the curtains and decorative pillows is the same, but the facades of the headset differ in tone. But thanks to one gamut, this difference does not violate the color balance in the room.
Lightweight material with perforation is a great option for a small kitchen. Such textiles will visually expand the space without blocking the path of natural light through the window.
