Whats the collective opinion of curtains in the kitchen?
Always had blinds (venetian or roller) but we're getting the kitchen overhauled and thinking about getting curtains for thermal reasons. Bare in mind we're thinking of a thermal roller blind over a new DG window.
Is there anything to gain from having a curtain? Thoughts are it will get grubby or greasy, and also a belief that curtains shouldnt be in the kitchen
I make curtains for a living and do not have them in the kitchen.
The kitchen tends to be a warm place.
Curtains in a kitchen look a bit out dated, unless you have French type patio doors.
Cooking smells and grime soon build up on the fabric.
You need a lot of natural light, which may get blocked out by blinds or curtains.
We're very lucky and have a fantastic view. You may also have a good view of a garden which would be spoilt.
All other rooms yes.
curtains in a kitchen ? wierd.... potential fire hazzard...
na blinds or net...get light coloured blinds so as to not knock out the light. sorry its a no no for kitchen curtains...they dont have a 'place' for that room
Sorry to hijack, but how does one dress a pair of standard glass doors to a patio / garden? Does that count as "french style" and therefore curtains are ok?
We've also got a window above the sink in the same aspect if that makes a difference. No idea about this sort of stuff. Rest of the house has wooden blinds, but clearly can't do that over the door.
They will end up stinking after a while 🙁
Curtains on a patio door are fine.
To dress them, maybe tie them back. There are allsorts of wonderful holdback type things, made from metal or wood.
The mistake most people make with putting curtains at patio doors, is, having the rail of pole (at the top) too short in length.
The longer the pole the further away the fabric is from the glass, thus letting in more light and not getting in the way of the doors opening.
