Curtain Types for the Kitchen
When selecting kitchen curtains, think beyond aesthetics. This design element controls natural light and helps set the mood in your space. Consider ease of maintenance, the size of your window, and your kitchen's style when choosing from today's trending options:
1. Classic Floor-Lenght Curtains
Long curtains paired with sheer tulle panels are a staple in living rooms, but they can work in kitchens too, provided you have enough space. Avoid using them near wet zones, stoves, or prep areas. If you opt for two full-length curtain panels, place your dining table nearby, not appliances.
2. Cafe Curtains (Lower Half Only)
Popular in restaurants, these short curtains cover the bottom half of the window, letting in natural light while maintaining privacy. They are typically made from sheer linen or polyester. This style suits rustic, country, or Provencal kitchens, and looks equally charming in traditional interiors.
