What blinds to choose for a kitchen room?

Until recently, blinds were found only in offices or non-residential premises. For many, the idea of ​​decorating a home interior with their help still causes not only ardent doubt, but even total perplexity. Indeed, in a living room, office grayness is absolutely useless. Dull lamellas with a touch of dust can inspire depression. But the designers took the initiative into their own hands, and there was not even a trace of muteness and boring officialness. And most interestingly, the reincarnated blinds have become welcome guests in every home. Manufacturers offer a variety of shapes, textures and a wide range of colors, which cannot but delight. Practicality in everyday life, multifunctionality, as well as absolute harmlessness in combination with a low price make the blinds an indispensable assistant for any room.

Horizontal blinds

Ideal for small kitchens with a small window:

• Do not occupy free space, which can be very useful, especially in such a room.
• Do not overload the room with excessive decor, which in a small room will only aggravate the situation.
• Do not burden the owners with tricky designs or an ingenious control system.

Fabric blinds were especially fond of everyone, they are devoid of coldness and pretentiousness. Despite its slightly ascetic appearance, it only blows home comfort and warmth.

Laconic lamellas will be a great addition to high-tech and minimalist kitchen rooms. And lovers of a more festive atmosphere will like the combination of horizontal blinds and traditional curtains or curtains made of tulle, organza, and even lambrequins can be useful.

Interframe horizontal blinds

Pay special attention to interframe blinds that are installed in the space between the windows.

They have a lot of advantages over conventional horizontal blinds:

• Much better protect against heat.
• Given the complete tightness of the structure, do not accumulate dust and dirt on the lamellas, respectively, do not require maintenance. Unlike ordinary blinds, which now and then have to wipe.
• When opening the window at least completely, even for ventilation, the design does not interfere with the sash adjustment. They do not sag or lose their functionality.
• This type of blinds does not take any place at all. For those who are used to counting every free centimeter, interframe blinds can become an absolute panacea.In addition, they will not become the prey of curious children or pets, due to complete impenetrability.
• In terms of accuracy and conciseness, they significantly exceed the horizontal blinds that we are used to.
• The quality of the mechanism and the control system cannot but rejoice. Due to their inaccessibility, the blinds are so reliable that they are installed with the expectation only for a long time.

This type of blinds has the only, but for many, quite significant minus - this is its relative high cost. But the money you spend will more than pay off in the coming years. But the convenience that you will receive every day can not be compared with anything.

Vertical blinds

Blinds with vertical louvres are originally a domesticated version of blinds. They are more like curtains, so they can often be seen in residential premises. With the help of a simple mechanism, the lamellas easily change their position, due to this you can not only experiment with chiaroscuro, but even completely change the mood and atmosphere of the room. And additional knowledge of some subtleties will help to control the interior of the room at your discretion.

Benefits:

• It is not necessary to make very long blinds to the floor, especially if you do not need it, you can do with short slats that cover only the window opening. After all, the kitchen is not the cleanest room in the apartment, so you need to avoid getting dirt, grease and dust to the maximum, which is a killer mix for vertical fabric blinds, especially with a corrugated texture.
• If the lamellas in the blinds are made from floor to ceiling - this will visually increase the height of the room, which is very important for a small room with low ceilings.
• Coloring and material can optically narrow or expand the window space, which will affect the change in the geometry of the room.
• Progress does not stand still, even dull strips of fabric dull down in the past. With the help of non-standard shape lamellas, a semicircle, a zigzag, a wave or an oblique cut, you can add a charming individuality and special originality to an ordinary kitchen room.
• To care for vertical blinds, the housewife will need only a dry rag, whisk or vacuum cleaner. If you keep an eye on their contamination in time, they will not require a long, labor-intensive cleaning from you for a very long time. The secret is that they need to be cleaned before visible contamination.
• The design can be combined with other decorative elements. It turns out chic combinations with flying curtains and curtains, though this option is more suitable for the living room than for the kitchen.
• You can choose a lamella assembly system: to the right, to the left of the center, to the center, which can be very convenient for further operation.

Roller blinds

Roller blinds or blinds are a one-piece canvas, which, when fully twisted, folds into a neat roll, while not taking up a single extra centimeter. The roller blinds compare favorably with the previous categories of blinds and their fastening system. Installation is appropriate in 3 projections: a wall, a ceiling and a window opening itself, they are mounted even on each autonomous leaf. All these nuances are very important in everyday life, for example, when airing or playing with light and shadow.

Practical and laconic fabric shutters organically fit into any interior. Quality Rolshtor materials are necessarily impregnated with special components:

• antistatic
• dustproof
• antibacterial
• in some cases even fire resistant.

Due to this, in the process of use, roller blinds do not dust, do not wrinkle and do not fade under the influence of sunlight. But, despite all its advantages and specific impregnations, shutters are very, very whimsical. They require a lean and tidy attitude.And direct contact with soot, grease and other kitchen dirt will quickly deprive the canvas of its original impeccable charm, which is almost impossible to return. Therefore, if you still decide to choose this particular type of blinds, think about keeping the gas stove away from the window opening. Of course this is not a panacea, but still, such a rearrangement can prolong the life of capricious roller blinds.
