Wood, cotton, leather and linen or indeed any natural material are best avoided on kitchen windows as these easily stain, warp, fade or shrink in damp or moist environments.  Instead, more suitable materials are polyester, glass fibre, faux woods and viscose, which are available in a variety of unusual and beautiful fabrics, yet have far greater longevity than natural materials in a kitchen.

Blinds are a more practical choice than curtains in the kitchen, as they can generally be cleaned with a damp cloth and warm soapy water, without having to be taken down and washed, making them the ideal kitchen window furnishing.
 

Venetian blinds, vertical blinds and pleated blinds are all suitable for kitchens but the most popular choice is roller or roman blinds as they can be pulled up, out of the way of splashes and stains and window sill items, whilst still providing shade from the sun and being bright and colourful, they add an accent colour or pattern into a generally plain environment.

Tuiss, the premium brand of Blinds 2 Go, the UKs largest online window blinds retailer, have a stunning choice of fabric styles and colours in the Tuiss range as well as the more unusual Illusion roller blinds with soft strips of fabric running horizontally to give the look of a venetian blind but with a softer look, but they can be operated like a roller blind.

Prices for TUISS roller blinds start from just £24.08 for a made to measure blind measuring W40cm x D40cm.  For further information and to receive FREE samples visit www.blinds-2go.co.uk or telephone 0800 862 0464.
