Home is where your heart is, and your kitchen is the center of your home. It’s where all the fun happens and where everyone gathers to see what’s simmering on the stove. Whether you are building a new home or renovating your current place, creating an efficiently functioning and aesthetically pleasing kitchen will pay off in the end.

Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades near Key West, Key Largo, and Marathon, Florida (FL)

Every family large or small uses their kitchens differently. Kitchens are typically the hub of the home and so making sure the space is pleasing is a priority. Here at Royal Furniture Design, we want your kitchen to say your name. When it comes to designing a modern kitchen, window treatments play a crucial role in elevating the overall aesthetic. As a Hunter Douglas dealer, we're excited to share some of our favorite window treatment ideas that will help you create a sleek and stylish kitchen.

Designer Banded Shades: A Perfect Blend of Style and Function

Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades are a fantastic choice for modern kitchens. These shades combine alternating sheer and solid bands in a single shade, allowing you to have complete control over light and privacy. When open, the sheer bands allow natural light to filter in, while the solid bands provide privacy. When closed, the solid bands overlap, blocking out light and offering even more privacy.

Some of the benefits of Designer Banded Shades include:

  • Versatility: With a wide range of colors, fabrics, shapes, and textures, Designer Banded Shades can easily complement any kitchen design.
  • Ease of use: The shades can be easily adjusted with the push/pull LiteRise® system, continuous loop, a retractable cord, or Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, the cordless motorized operating system.
  • Energy efficiency: The overlapping bands help insulate your interiors from the sun, keeping your kitchen comfortable and reducing energy costs.

Other Kitchen-Friendly Shades

In addition to Designer Banded Shades, there are several other Hunter Douglas window treatments that work well in modern kitchens:

Duette® Cellular Shades

The innovative design of Duette® Cellular Shades makes them a great choice for kitchens. These shades offer excellent insulation, helping to keep your kitchen comfortable year-round. The unique honeycomb construction also helps diffuse light, giving your kitchen a soft, warm glow.

Provenance® Woven Wood Shades

For a more natural and organic look, consider Provenance® Woven Wood Shades. These shades are made from natural materials like bamboo, grasses, and reeds, adding texture and warmth to your kitchen. They're also available with a light-filtering or room-darkening liner, allowing you to control the amount of light and privacy in your space.

What Could Be Better Than A Wall of Windows?

What could be better in the kitchen than a wall of windows from floor to ceiling? While you’re cooking or working, the light can stream in and create an elevated mood in your home. Windows can easily become a focal point of interest with unique shapes, trim, and millwork. And studies prove the more natural light we take in the happier we are. So why not splurge and open up a wall to the world. Let nature keep you company while you go about your business in the kitchen.

Floridian summers are intense, so proper window treatments are essential. Keeping your space cool in the late afternoons when the heat and humidity become unbearable is only achieved by blocking out the sun.

Here at Royal Furniture & Design, we are proud to carry the new line of Hunter Douglas Carole Fabrics™ Custom Drapes. Enjoy the view from your kitchen windows when open or close them shut for room darkening and privacy. And with over 4000 fabric options, you’re sure to find a material in a coordinating color, texture, or opacity perfect for your kitchen space.
