The kitchen is often the hub of any household. Eating, drinking, cooking and baking are just a few of the daily happenings in the kitchen, but according to research published in Science Direct, the average woman spends approximately five years of their life in the kitchen, and the average man spends about three years. With three to five years spent in the kitchen don’t you want to be in the most comfortable environment you can have? Of course you do! That’s why you have chosen to work with Budget Blinds, the best in custom blinds and window coverings, to find the perfect fabric blinds for your kitchen.

The Signature Murano seriesavailable exclusively through Budget Blinds is the ultimate collection of fabric blinds. With all the functionality of a traditional wood blind but the light filtering capabilities and durability of fabric, these blinds are the perfect option for high humidity and generally messy areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Budget Blinds has outlined three big reasons for using blinds made of fabric in your kitchen or bathroom.

  • Fabric blinds are easily washed which can be extremely important for window coverings used in the kitchen. Some of your homemade spaghetti sauce bubbled out of control and produced a couple blemishes on your blinds? Good thing you purchased the Signature Murano series from Budget Blinds, because now you can simple scrub out that stain with soap and water!
  • High humidity can ruin wood blinds if they are used in the wrong areas. Your wood blinds may warpbefore their life cycle is at an end if they are exposed to the high moisture content that is often found in bathrooms and kitchens. So before you decide that wood blinds will be your window covering of choice for the entire home, take into consideration your children’s bathroom and the size of your kitchen to determine if there is going to be concentrated humidity in those areas.
  • Fabric blinds filter light without blocking it which can be perfect for allowing natural light to seep in while you are preparing dinner. With wooden or aluminum blinds you have the option to direct light where you want it, but when you are using blinds made of fabric, you get a soft warm glow of the evening sun entering into your kitchen.

Ultimately, your choice in window coverings depends entirely on your sense of style, but whether or not you choose fabric or wood blinds, Budget Blinds is here to help guide you through the entire process.

Kitchens need to be functional areas capable of withstanding a great deal of wear and tear, so in most instances, the materials you choose will be dictated by practicalities. The colours you choose, however, do not have to be restricted. Kitchen sinks and electrical appliances are available in bright colours and also in the standard stainless steel or white enamel. Coloured melamine or tile splashbacks and worktops, tile or vinyl floor coverings, or even painted floors, are all ways to introduce colour into your kitchen.

Most kitchens are based on the principle of the “work triangle” drawn between the three main activity areas, water supply, cooking area and food storage. Each area needs to be easily accessible from the other and good lighting and ventilation are essential. The spaces between the three areas should not be more than a double-arm span, this means you can easily move from stove to sink, or refridgerator to stove. Continue reading →
