Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)FAQ

What is a Kitchen Curtain Called?

There are many names for the different types of kitchen curtains. 

From cafe curtains to valance curtains, it can get confusing unless you know your curtains. 

Most kitchen curtains are short and drape over the top of the window. And the official term for this standardized kitchen curtain is ‘swag valance.’

Is it OK to Have Curtains in the Kitchen?

Kitchen window treatments are totally optional. But, yes, it’s perfectly fine to have curtains in the kitchen.

Some people opt for blinds over curtains to minimize light exposure and for better privacy.

But curtains can be a stylish addition to your kitchen decor.

What's the Point of Cafe Curtains?

Cafe curtains are curtains that start at the middle of the window and end at the bottom of the window. They’re like a skirt for a window. 

The point of cafe curtains is to let light in through the top of the window while maintaining your privacy. 

And you don’t have to keep cafe curtains in the cafe or in the kitchen. They are a stylish addition to bedrooms, bathrooms, or living rooms to control lighting. 

What's the Average Length of Kitchen Curtains?

Most curtains come in standard sizes of 84 inches, 96 inches, and 108 inches. 

The length of curtains depends on the size of your windows and the height of your ceilings.

If you have low ceilings, you’d typically want shorter curtains for a comfortable look. And if you have high ceilings, longer curtains would be better. 

How to Hang Kitchen Curtains

Curtains are useful for controlling light, privacy, and adding style to any space. Thus, you’ll want to hang your curtains right the first time.  

Here’s how to hang your kitchen curtains:

Make sure curtains are wide enough to cover the window.

If your ceiling is straight and level, hang your curtain rod a few inches below the ceiling.
Securely mount the brackets to the wall. 
Attach the curtain to the rod.
Place and secure the rod within the brackets.

And there you have a simple process for how to hang kitchen curtains.

NAKED KITCHENS

Is it just us, or do kitchen windows often go bare, just totally undecorated, and in some ways, neglected? It seems we dress every window in our homes with precision and style, but when it comes to the space we spend arguably the most time in, we let those windows go untouched for years on end.

Don't spend another day washing dishes, cooking your favorite meals, or enjoying your morning coffee in front of bare (or shall we say, boring?) windows. From modern takes on the traditional valance to additional silhouettes and fabric choices, scroll through for 15 kitchen curtain ideas that define our favorite space in your home.

PURE COLLECTED LIVING

This white valance style with draped sides completely transforms your kitchen, acting as a frame around your undressed window, making it feel more lived-in and cozy.

RIKKI SYNDER

The balloon curtain isn't the most popular of window dressing silhouettes, but its sweet design makes it a shoo-in for cottage and rustic kitchens alike. Similar to a Roman shade, the design is pulled upward to let light in, but skewing more decorative, the balloon curtain draped loosely with two pick-up points that give a scalloped look when the drapes are drawn.

SAMANTHA KLEIN

A fan favorite, the sheer white curtain doesn't provide much privacy or shade, but we love the glow it provides when sunlight shines through. Perhaps one of the most versatile curtain options, sheers go with any décor style and work in any room.

Michelle Berwick Design

If you've found the perfect print you just can't live without, we say use it everywhere. Pairing your kitchen curtains to those of your dining or living room feels custom and expensive. Shop for curtain sets or have them custom made to recreate this look.

MSTARR DESIGN

A sweet layering combo for your kitchen's breakfast nook, this bamboo shade and sheer curtain duo is proof that more is always more. Best for farmhouse and rustic styles or neutral color palettes, you'd be remiss not to take this pairing for a spin.

Since the traditional valance only covers the top portion of the window, it may not seem that it serves much of a function. However, they can be used over another window covering to block out sunlight, or they can also be used purely for aesthetic purposes. A valance is a perfect solution for making small windows appear larger, hiding architectural imperfections, or tying in décor elements.

BAILEY WARD INTERIORS

We love a lower-portion curtain for a few reasons. With the top half of your kitchen window exposed, you get plenty of sunlight pouring into your space without sacrificing your privacy. And even better, installation doesn't require power tools and years of experience.

JERSEY ICE CREAM CO.

If an exposed curtain rod isn't your style, a cornice is the answer. It's a treatment that's installed over the hardware to hide rods and rings. They also help block light from poking in around (and more specifically, above) your curtains.

Blakely Interior Design

If hanging drapes cramp your style, consider opting for a design style that offers shade and privacy in a more streamlined way. Roman shades are a type of fabric window covering that's raised or lowered on a cord system and rings installed on the back. When raised, the fabric stacks in even horizontal folds, making for a polished look.

KATHERINE CARTER

The upside of Roman shades is they come in all lengths to fit every window in your home. While you have the option to extend a single shade across multiple windows, we love the idea of splitting them up and opting for multiple Roman shades.

11 of 15

Interior Impressions

Despite what most might believe, Roman shades aren't limited to plain solid colors. This cheery print is the perfect addition to this neutral kitchen. When pulled up, they resemble the traditional valance, and when let down, they add a pop of color without the frill.

Britt Design Studio

Bamboo roman shades give your space tons of texture and privacy, while still letting the sunshine peek through. The natural weave turns direct sunlight into a filtered, dappled glow.

13 of 15

WHITE SANDS

When you want to make the color of your cabinets pop, pair them with curtains in a complementary shade. We love how these barely blue cabinets look against a woven pastel set of Roman shades. To recreate the look, be mindful of color tones and hues to nail the monochromatic look.

NAKED KITCHENS

Whether you're leaning more towards a tailored Roman shade or billowing pleats suspended from a rod, linen is a great fabric for traditional and contemporary décor styles, alike. And one of its best qualities is it's super easy to maintain. Linen can either be dry-cleaned or thrown in your washing machine. In fact, it actually becomes softer and more lived-in with each wash.

15 of 15

Blakely Interior Design

If you can't select between a printed curtain or one in a solid color, there's actually a third option that falls somewhere in the middle. When you can't make up your mind, consider the grosgrain ribbon Roman shade design. It features a ribbon detail along the border of the shades that give your window coverings a more elevated look—without overwhelming your kitchen design.

29 Standout Dining Rooms That Show What a Difference Curtains Can Make

Curtains for the kitchen (70 real photos) - the best ideas and novelties

When choosing curtains, it is very important to consider the existing or planned style, as well as the geometric features of the space. Thus, you will be able to create a harmonious interior in the same style.

Garlands combined with transparent tulle will help create a festive mood in your home. Use only high quality electrical appliances and do not leave them switched on unattended.





Kitchens in apartments are often small in size, so the curtains should not only match the interior style, but also be compact enough to create a visual balance in the interior. Many people choose short textile models for window decoration, forming concise or, on the contrary, multi-layered compositions - it all depends on your personal preferences.

In this case, the effect of layering is set by a green decorative element that looks like an additional curtain. The combination of different textures in one model is a great option to diversify a classic design.

A bright solution does not look pretentious, because textiles that transmit light well are chosen as the basis, and the walls in the room are painted in light shades. Even when the fabric is laid on top of each other, the sun's rays freely enter the room, turning into multi-colored shadows.

Be aware of the effects of steam and grease in the room. In this regard, consider the following features when choosing:

Aesthetics is as important as practicality and functionality when choosing. A properly selected model will correct and decorate the space, as well as become a visual accent in the room.

Blinds are one of the most practical options for window decoration. In addition, wood-like lamellas do not look at all like an office strict, on the contrary, they create the most comfortable atmosphere.

The main principles of choosing textiles

1. In the color of the furniture

A universal solution for a neutral range in a modern interior.

The pattern on the roman shades matches the metal curves of the vintage Singer typewriter that became the base for the dining table.

The muted grass shade of the curtains and decorative pillows is the same, but the facades of the set differ in tone. But thanks to one gamut, this difference does not disturb the color balance in the room.

Lightweight material with perforations, great for small kitchens. Such textiles will visually expand the space without blocking the path of natural light through the window.

The mesh curtain matches the leather chairs and orange candles in the décor.

2. To match the walls

A surefire way to create a harmonious space is to choose curtains in the same tone as the wall trim.

White pleats match with ceramic backsplashes and glossy fronts. This design is easily adjustable in height of the window opening, if necessary.

Floral classic ornament adds interesting details to a monochrome interior.

3. Accent option in the interior

If you like contrasting elements, feel free to experiment! But remember that even accent details are best emphasized by color companions in the decor. It can be a vase, dishes in the tone of bright matter, a clock or, for example, a tablecloth.

Textiles characterize the calm range of the room. The turquoise contrasting color can be easily swapped out for another bright tone when you want a seasonal change in your apartment.

When choosing textiles for the kitchen, do not forget that you will have to wash it often. Accordingly, wear-resistant material that dries quickly should be purchased.

Asymmetric design

Thanks to the asymmetrical combinations, you will be able to play with the room in an interesting way, even using a plain fabric.

The asymmetrical design is also great for window openings with balcony doors.

In this case, the effect of asymmetry was achieved using fabrics of different density and shades. The vertical accent also allows you to visually increase the height of a small window, if necessary.

To protect your home from the looks from the street, not only thick curtains will help - organza is quite suitable for this. It can be combined with lighter fabrics and muslin.

Short models for a small kitchen

The short cut is ideal for tiny rooms and kitchens where the set is partly located along the window. This solution adds coziness to the interior without blocking the flow of light.

When deciding on the material, it is better to choose natural or mixed materials. Such fabrics are maximally comfortable in everyday life - they let in fresh air, light and are easy to care for. Experts recommend certain fabrics for creating kitchen curtains: polyester, tulle, chintz, linen and silk.


Short tulle kitchen curtains in two halves. Transparent fabric in the design of the window is ideal for a small area. Such curtains will not interfere with the penetration of light.

Curtain halves overlapped. This option looks unusual, but the symmetry of the window opening is preserved.

The Austrian model blends seamlessly into both classic and contemporary styles.

If there is a gas stove near the window, then you should always remember about safety precautions - it is better to choose a natural fabric that will not catch fire instantly if accidentally exposed to fire.

Short curtains for a spacious kitchen

In this room, the curtains decorate not only the window, but also the doorway. Such details are most appropriate for country style.

Roman blinds are very convenient in daily use, due to the ability to easily adjust their length.

Roller blinds in the extended position are similar to Roman blinds, but the principle of extension for these models is different. Rolled ones are wound around the base - the roller, and when folded, they really resemble a roll in shape.

Bright accent on the window area. In this interior, a translucent canvas was chosen for the rolls, which transmits light well. Textiles form a warm range in the room, even in cloudy weather.


The color scheme matches the interior decor. Thanks to such combinations, it will be possible to transform a monochrome palette in decoration if you are tired of restraint in color.

Modern prints

With the help of modern technology, you can create amazing effects on fabrics, adding a special touch to the interior.

A futuristic textile print makes even the simplest room stand out.

Classic patterns reimagined. The traditional drawing, consisting of enlarged pixels, is suitable for neoclassical and modern interiors.

key 100 best modern ideas for your kitchen window comfort. A properly selected option will bring a touch of sophistication and sophistication to the space, make the interior harmonious and complete.

If you have a small kitchen, check out this article.

Drapes and tulle

Modern curtains are designed to perform both aesthetic and practical functions. For sunny rooms, shading during certain daylight hours is very important. If your apartment is located on the lower floors, you need to pick up thick curtains that cover the interior from prying eyes.

Light models, it can be said that they act only as a window decor. They are made, as a rule, from such translucent materials as tulle, organza, chiffon, veil.

As you might guess, the final design can be completely different. Here you should focus on your own preferences and style of the room.

Today, for example, curtains with grommets are very popular in minimalist interiors. Light folds will give a feeling of home warmth, comfort, will bring a touch of sophistication and originality to the surrounding space. They are hung on round cornices.

The size of the grommet is selected based on the diameter of the pipe on which they will be attached. The main emphasis here is on the beauty of the fabric, which will be further emphasized by the vertical tails.

Classic models, complemented by a lambrequin, can hardly be called a novelty, because they have long taken their rightful place in interiors.

You can combine heavy curtain fabric and light, weightless fabrics. The lambrequin is located in the upper part of the window, its height varies in the range of 20-50 cm. Properly selected material will visually increase the size of the window.

Often they reach only the middle of the window, leaving the window sill completely open, that is, you can use it as a work surface to accommodate small household appliances and other accessories.

They will emphasize the sophistication of the kitchen set, bring comfort and warmth to the room.

Roman

These are one of the most popular window decoration options today. They fit perfectly into the interiors of any style, differing in beauty and ease of use.

If you are looking for an option that fits perfectly into the design, do not pass by Roman blinds.

Based on them, you can create a fairly original modern interior. True connoisseurs of elegance and beauty will surely appreciate them.

Aesthetics is an indisputable fact, but it is far from the only thing that attracts the attention of modern consumers and designers.

Enviable functionality cannot be overlooked. By raising or lowering the special mechanism, you can adjust the level of illumination.

They are quite easy to care for. To wash, simply remove them from the cornice, remove the weighting strips, and throw the fabric itself into the washing machine, choosing the optimal temperature and speed based on the type of fabric.

To avoid streaks on the fabric, we recommend using liquid powders and an extra rinse. They dry flat. It is best to iron slightly damp material. Roman blinds go well with classic straight curtains. For example, take a look at these photos.

Patterns, abstraction, floral motifs, checks, stripes, stains are acceptable. Embroidered models look elegant and fit perfectly into elegant classic kitchen interiors.

The choice of materials is also striking in its variety, ranging from light weightless chiffon, tulle, and ending with massive heavy curtains.

Austrian

Austria is a country that has been famous for its "lace" art since time immemorial. If you are looking for modern kitchen curtains that amaze with their grace, representativeness, aristocracy, then this option is for you.

Externally, they are separate sections, gathered along the bottom edge in the form of air flounces or lush folds. Increased decorativeness is given by contrasting trim with piping, fringe, cords, decorative tassels.

This is also one of the types of lifting models, but unlike the Roman ones, there is no crossbar.

They are controlled by cords threaded through special rings fixed on the cornice. Cords play not only a functional, but also a decorative role, forming a lush and beautiful drapery.

The choice of fabrics for Austrian curtains is very diverse. The main thing is that the material must be wrinkle-resistant.

Such novelties of design may well act as an independent element of window decor, but if necessary, they can be supplemented with classic curtains, contrasting lambrequins.

French

Here is a recognized classic, the embodiment of luxury, a vivid example of respectability and solidity.

They give the room aristocracy, sophistication, create a warm, cozy atmosphere of comfort and chic.

Pay attention to them if your interior is implemented in any of the classic styles. Vertical folds will be originally illuminated by the sun's rays, playing and shimmering in them.

They look just as impressive under artificial lighting. For tailoring, both classically heavy portrait fabrics and light tulle curtains can be used.

From the description it becomes clear that they are intended exclusively for spacious kitchens with high ceilings. This option is undesirable for those whose stove is located in the immediate vicinity of the window.

Rolled

This is one of the latest design innovations. Despite their relative "youth", they have seriously competed with traditional types of curtains.

If you wish, you can hang the window with one solid structure or use narrow curtains covering each section separately.

Lightweight materials allow you to create subtle shading, focusing on decoration. Fabrics are impregnated with special compositions, due to which they become immune to high humidity and sunlight.

Moreover, now in the showrooms you can find samples of Roman blinds with photo printing. Modern technologies allow you to apply drawings, family photos and any images to the fabric.

If you want to make them more convenient to operate, opt for electric models. They are easily integrated into the "smart home" system, automatically opening and closing at a specific time you specify.

Kisei

If you want to create a relaxed, airy atmosphere, pay attention to muslin curtains. This material allows you to get light and weightless models of any configuration and size. They are easily combined with curtains, threads of other colors. This option is purely decorative.

A translucent sheet will not be able to protect the kitchen from the penetration of sunlight and prying eyes. If your apartment is located on the sunny side, on the first floor of the house or next to other skyscrapers, then additionally for shading it will be necessary to use dense options or blinds.

They fit especially harmoniously into small rooms, creating a unity of the interior, visually raising the ceilings, filling the room with air and light. Having stopped your choice of them, pay due attention to the choice of color scheme, decor, design.

An advantageous solution is obtained by combining materials of different colors. Kisei is the canvas that allows you to reveal all your creative and design abilities, resulting in real masterpieces endowed with a bright personality.

Japanese

If you are looking for a truly outlandish option for decorating a window in your kitchen, then you simply cannot pass by Japanese curtains.

They are a "screen" consisting of several panels, each of which is a rectangular sheet of fabric. The width and height of one screen depends on the size of the window sash. The canvas is fixed on a special guide with textile Velcro.

Panels can line up one after another in the form of a ladder, completely wind up behind each other, spread symmetrically along the edges, line up.

The main requirement is maximum web tension. For this, weighting agents are used, placed in the lower part, and rigid fiberglass inserts are inserted into the side seams.

The exclusivity of Japanese curtains and their main distinguishing feature is their conspicuous decorative effect. It will not be difficult for you to find canvases with extraordinary geometric, floral or plot patterns.
