The kitchen window, in fact, is no different from other working fragments, which, in this room, are almost all the interior items. Let's take an extract, even if it has excellent characteristics and high cost, it can not always fully cope with the disposal of the premises from the flavors of the cooking food, moreover, it can not fill the kitchen space with fresh air. In addition, the window provides the room with the necessary natural light. Also worth noting that decorating the window in the kitchen is one of the few options for interior decoration.

How to make a window in the kitchen, the requirements for the material and construction
In the design of the kitchen window, there are important points of principle. When the decoration takes place in the kitchen combined with the dining room, that is, the room is large enough and spacious, and the stove and sink are located at a certain distance from the window, the design accent should be focused on styling the area for dinners. In such situations, blinds, curtains and other are selected in the interior style of the dining area.
In a kitchen of small dimensions, where the working area is much larger than the dining area, the curtains should be chosen based primarily on practicality, and then on decorativeness.
The basic requirements for the material used in the kitchen should be as follows:
- moisture resistance - in addition to resistance to water absorption and deformation from it,
- the material must be resistant to steam and condensation; it can be - a tree past special treatment, metal, plastic;
- fabric fragments should be made of a material that includes both natural fibers and synthetic fibers; natural look is always in fashion, and synthetic fibers will help quickly and without problem get rid of accumulated fat and other contaminants.
If desired, the fabric used in the kitchen can be impregnated with a special compound that will help repel fat to prevent the penetration of the latter into its structure. Many decorators recognize that the most practical option for the kitchen window is the blinds.
Their variety makes it possible to choose both in structure, and in shape, and in color, most suitable for a certain kitchen design. In addition, their cleaning does not represent almost any problems. Although there are some disadvantages here.
Plastic, like any other, completely composed of artificial fiber fabric, is located to absorb fat, unless, of course, treated with a special impregnation that hinders this process. It should be remembered that under the rays of ultraviolet this process accelerates. Over time, such factors lead to yellowing of the material.
About the influence of curtains on the overall interior of the kitchen - on the video:
Curtains on the window in the kitchen
Intricate curtain composition on the kitchen window, in addition to accumulating dust and dirt, will require careful care and, accordingly, a large time spent on cleaning and washing. Heavy draped curtains decorated with lambrequin will have to be arranged several times more often than a similar composition in a bedroom or living room.
Now we'll figure out the size of the curtains in the kitchen. The use of curtains of shortened length is much more practical: they can be removed from the cornice easier and it is not difficult to wash them. Ideal models will be mounted on the sash. They will not occupy a useful kitchen area.
With regard to curtains long to the floor, they can be used, but it is desirable only on the window located in the dining room. Their use in the kitchen area is very impractical. Because of the length, their bottom will become dirty in a short time.
And besides, they will block free access to the window aperture and window sill, which is rather used by skilled housewives, as an additional useful place.
It is desirable that the curtains in the kitchen area are made of light and thin fabric. Such materials will pass the light flux and gently dissipate it. Kitchen interior from the presence of such a decor will be much easier.
Washing such products does not require much effort and time. But, stopping the choice on such variant, it is necessary to provide and exclude possibility of their contact with open fire on a plate - it can lead to a fire.

Blinds on the windows to the kitchen
Horizontal blinds, overlapping the window opening, will not be a very convenient piece of decor in the kitchen.
In addition to the fact that they will occupy some part of the useful space, the grease and dirt on them will accumulate much faster and in larger volumes than on the vertical blinds.
The latter are much better able to cope with the problem of a light filter. Plastic windows in the kitchen allow you to make fasteners on the sash, therefore, the blinds will occupy the minimum. You can use both aluminum and wooden models. Products made of aluminum are easier to care for.
Blinds made of bamboo, recently, have become quite a trendy trend. They are not susceptible to steam and moisture, and also do not change shape when exposed to heat.
Kitchen with window in the work area
Roman blinds - a very attractive and practical option for the window opening in the kitchen. They can be sewn from different types of fabrics.
From this it follows that this kind of decor can be adapted both on the window facing the sunny side, and on the shadow side. Fixing the product is done on the leaf, taking up a minimum of space. At the time of opening, it is collected in a dense layer at the top in the form of soft folds.
Particularly advantageous will look in the kitchen, where the dining table is located next to the window. They are interesting for their design and fit perfectly to the kitchen curtains.
Classic curtains - this design using the cut fabric rectangular shape, quite often used together with the curtain fabric. Their length is usually average, hardly reaching the radiator or window sill.
The design they have can be completely different (the main thing is that it fit the general composition and liked the owners): with lambrequins of intricate shape, using drapery, small parts and so on. But, it is worth noting that such curtains require frequent washing, because a lot of fat and dirt accumulate on them quite quickly.
Window with window sill in the kitchen
There are different options for including a window sill in a zone designed for work. It can be used as an additional part of the countertop, a place for the location of the plate or sink.
With regard to curtains in such variations, the question is solved by itself. What kind of curtains in such cases are inappropriate and will only interfere, and especially, in the immediate vicinity of the stove (such decoration can lead to a fire hazard situation).
If absolutely necessary, we will allow the installation of blinds made of metal or to make the interior complete - short curtains are possible, but they should be placed not at the bottom, but at the top of the window opening.
Decoration in the classical style allows the presence of lambrequin or its imitation at the top of the window.
In cases where the window sill is used for the original purpose, the design approach to the design of the window opening directly depends on the general direction of the styling of the kitchen, with the necessary restrictions being taken into account.
Not bad looks option, when instead of curtains as a light filter use a wall of greenery, that is, flowers. This option also provides for blinds to protect plants from direct sunlight. The opening flap of the window is left free to allow airing.
When the folding table top is mounted under the windowsill, it is better to make the curtains shorter, so that they do not fall on the table. You can also use the following varieties of curtains: Roman, roll, blinds, shortened curtains that do not touch the window sill for a long time.
It will be interesting and practical to look a variant with a curtain, the edges of which are not even. In other words, the shortest part should be in the center and be above the table, while the elongated part should be located at the edges.
If it is necessary to have curtains, they can be lifted and held using picks.
Kitchen with window in the middle
The kitchen window can be turned into an interesting design element. In addition to natural lighting, which makes the space both cozy and warm, it also has a decorative function. If you choose the right design, then the kitchen will become more cozy, homely and comfortable.
This case involves many design options. The main thing is to properly dispose of space and make it as comfortable and functional as possible. The final form of any of the desired options should harmoniously fit into the overall stylization of the design.
The window located in the middle of the kitchen space allows for an interesting design of the whole room.
Quite often a small kitchen space is tightly fitted with furniture, and the space near the kitchen opening is not used at all. Experienced designers advise to look at the small-sized area on the other hand, that is, consider how you can use the space near the window.
The most elementary option, which makes it possible to rationally use the space near the windowsill, is to use it as an additional or basic workplace. If the sill becomes the main place for work, then the area under the wall that has become free can be adapted to accommodate, for example, ovens, washing machines, cabinets for placing dishes and so on.
Convenient will be the option, when a sill is attached under the window sill. If necessary, it can be raised and used as a dining table or an additional workplace. When there is no need for it, it is lowered and thereby increases the free kitchen area. Fixation of the countertop in the unfolded form occurs with the help of a leg.
On the square under the window you can equip a practical small locker and store various trifles in it. Unusually it will look like an option: a kitchen with a sink by the window. Such options are often used in cases where owners have a desire for some reason to hide the heating system.
Carrying the wash involves additional installation of the drainage system. But today, this kind of work does not present any special problems. When choosing this option, you should not miss the next moment - no matter how carefully you do not use the water to completely exclude the moment of splashes on the glass is impossible.
Kitchens with a large enough area assume the presence of a large window opening. The most rational use of such a layout is the placement of kitchen furniture in European style. It involves the arrangement of a kitchen set along a wall that has a window. The result: a multifunctional wall, a chic street view, the most naturally-lit working surface.
At all it is not necessary to puzzle over that to think up a new way of registration of an opening of a kitchen window. In ordinary classical kitchen, the window can be either a functional part or a piece of decor.
And beautiful curtains and a wooden window in the kitchen will add to the room the originality and uniqueness, warmth and coziness. Absolutely a win-win option of additional decor is the presence of flower pots with green flowering plants. They can be placed both on the windowsill, and on supports fastened to the walls.
