The Best Kitchen Window Blinds

The Best Kitchen Window Blinds

Our kitchens are often the hives of the home! The place for everything from pouring your morning coffee to eating your evening meal… So, it’s key that you get the décor right in there and make it a space you love to be.

Blinds are a big part of interior design. Think of them as a large accessory that adds the perfect finishing touch. They really do make a big difference. So, let us guide you through the process of choosing the best kitchen window blinds for your home…

Our Top Picks for Kitchen Window Blinds

Roller blinds are one of our most popular choices for kitchen window blinds. It’s easy to see why! They come in a wide range of colours and designs, and are available in wipe-clean fabrics too!

Next up are vertical, Venetian and vision blinds. Each of these options offers fantastic levels of light and privacy control making them an ever-popular choice for kitchen window blinds.

Verticals are a classic. There are hundreds of options when it comes to colour and design so it’s easy to find a style to suit your kitchen. 

Venetian blinds are beautiful and simplistic. Available in a wide range of neutral and wooden effects, as well as metallic shades, Venetian blinds will adorn your kitchen window in style. Venetian’s are also extremely easy to keep clean.

Vision blinds (also known as Day and Night Blinds or Zebra Blinds) are new kids on the block when it comes to blinds, but they’re certainly up at the top in terms of popularity! They’re a great choice for kitchen window blinds thanks to their modern and minimalistic appeal, plus they’re available in lots of colours and finishes too.

Things To Consider When Choosing Kitchen Window Blinds

Obviously, ‘The Best Kitchen Window Blinds’ is not a one-size-fits-all answer. Sorry! You’ll have to partake in some careful considerations first. For example, how do you use your room, how long do you want your blinds to last, where is your window positioned and so on…

The Privacy Control Required from Your Kitchen Window Blinds

Are you searching for blinds for your kitchen because of a lack of privacy without them? If so, you might want to consider how much control you’d like to have.

Of course, with any blind, you can close them completely and enjoy complete privacy. But if you also want to let the light in at the same time, we recommend Venetian, vertical and vision blinds.

The Light Control Required from Your Kitchen Window Blinds

You’ll also need to consider whether you need to control the amount, or the angle of, the light coming into your kitchen. This will affect which the best kitchen window blinds are for your needs.

Light control is likely to be a consideration if you use screens in the kitchen. For example, if you have a TV in there or use it as a work area. Again, Venetian, vertical and vision blinds are great options for controlling the degree of light in your kitchen. You’ll be able to control the light and your privacy completely by angling the slats to your exact preference.

Cleaning Your Kitchen Window Blinds

The kitchen is a room that’s prone to spillages, splashes, and grease. Your blinds are inevitably going to show the effects of this too. Especially if your window is positioned close to a cooking or food preparation area!

Therefore, it’s a good idea to choose kitchen window blinds that are easy to clean – preferably that can be wiped clean and won’t need machine washing! This will be the most hygienic option.

Luckily, there are lots of wipe-clean and humidity-resistant window blinds now available. Most you can dust, or wipe and they’ll be as good as new!

The Material of Your Kitchen Window Blinds

The kitchen is often a room with high levels of humidity and warmth due to the cooking that goes on in there regularly. Because of this, the material of the blinds you choose matters a lot. Some materials can warp or discolour when exposed to these conditions.

The Durability of Your Kitchen Window Blinds 

The blinds you choose need to be durable and last as many years as possible. It’s worth investing in a good set of window blinds due to the sheer volume of traffic and (potentially messy) activity that goes on in your kitchen.

Case Study: Bradley Hall Head Office

Custom Branded Roller Blinds for Bradley Hall’s Grey Street HQ

Client: Bradley Hall
Location: Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Commercial Property
Scope: Custom Branded and Non-Branded Roller Blinds Across Two Floors
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time, Within 2 Weeks

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install a combination of branded and non-branded roller blinds for Bradley Hall’s stunning new head office on Newcastle’s iconic Grey Street. The blinds not only enhance the aesthetic of the new space, but also provide practical year-round comfort.


What the Client Needed

As the building is listed, Bradley Hall were unable to use external signage to display their brand identity. They needed an interior solution that would subtly represent their brand in a stylish, professional way, while still providing effective solar shading and heat retention.


The Challenge

  • No external signage permitted due to the heritage status of the building.
  • No parking for unloading equipment.
  • 4-metre-high windows requiring specialist ladder access.
  • Narrow spiral staircases, making it difficult to manoeuvre materials without damaging freshly decorated walls and doors.

The client also required a rapid turnaround ahead of moving into their new space.


How We Overcame It

Our team designed and manufactured a blend of branded and non-branded roller blinds, ensuring a cohesive look across two floors. The installation required exceptional care and expertise to work safely within the constraints of a heritage building.

Despite the logistical hurdles, we delivered the entire project from initial enquiry to completion in under 2 weeks, meeting Bradley Hall’s deadlines without compromising on quality.


The Result

The finished installation delivered:

  • Stylish integration of Bradley Hall’s branding into the new office.
  • Effective shading and thermal control for year-round comfort.
  • Seamless delivery within a limited timeframe.
  • A high-quality installation, despite the challenges of restricted access and building constraints.

Client Feedback

“Huge thanks to you and the team Kevin! Fantastic service from start to finish, quick turnaround and quality product and installation. They look great!”

– Sharon Boyd, Chief Operating Officer, Bradley Hall North East / Yorkshire


The Bigger Picture

This project demonstrates our ability to combine branding, design, and practicality, even in heritage or conservation-area buildings where signage is restricted. It also underlines our expertise in overcoming complex site challenges and delivering under tight time pressures.

40 Custom Tension Pleated Blinds for Newcastle Airport Control Tower

Client: Newcastle International Airport
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Aviation – Air Traffic Control
Scope: 40 Bespoke Tension Pleated Blinds
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install 40 custom tension pleated blinds for Newcastle International Airport’s Air Traffic Control Tower. This wasn’t a straightforward job – the tower’s unique architecture and operational restrictions made it one of the most complex installations we’ve ever delivered.


What the Client Needed

The brief was simple but critical: shading and light control in an environment where visibility is paramount. The blinds needed to perform flawlessly to reduce glare, enhance comfort, and maintain clear sightlines for air traffic controllers at all times.


The Challenge

The tower’s design created a unique technical challenge: the windows are narrower at the top than the bottom. This meant the blinds had to operate in reverse, raising issues with tension and stability. Getting them to stay in place was no small feat.


How We Overcame It

Our team engineered a bespoke solution using:

  • Maximum tension throughout each blind system
  • Reinforced top bars for durability
  • Discreet magnetic strips to keep blinds secure

We worked closely with the client throughout, being completely transparent about the technical hurdles. To build confidence, we produced working samples that were tested and signed off before full manufacture began.


Working in a Live Air Traffic Control Tower

This wasn’t just a technical project – it was also about precision planning. Working in one of the UK’s busiest control towers meant strict security measures:

  • All staff were vetted and security checked
  • Passports had to be presented at each entry
  • Access was tightly restricted and visits limited

To meet these requirements, we planned every step of the installation around an agreed programme of works, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and minimal disruption to airport operations.


The Result

The new blinds have transformed the tower environment, delivering:

✅ Glare reduction
✅ Improved visibility for controllers
✅ Greater comfort in a high-pressure workplace

The client praised not only the quality of the finished product but also our communication, professionalism, and how smoothly the installation was managed.


The Bigger Picture

This project highlights our ability to deliver bespoke blind solutions for even the most complex environments. From innovative design to meticulous project management, we can adapt to buildings where standard systems simply won’t work.


Ready for the Next One

If you’ve got a project that demands a tailored shading solution – whether it’s an airport, a commercial office, or a uniquely shaped building – we’ve got the expertise to deliver.

Get in touch with our team today to discuss how we can design, manufacture, and install blinds that meet your exact requirements.
