When undertaking a kitchen refurbishment, there can be a question of what to do with the window behind the kitchen sink. Far too often it can become a dumping ground for clutter, but left alone, it can look sparse and unappealing. Instead, consider some simple ways that can give this part of the kitchen a stylish touch.
Curtains and Blinds
One way to add interest to a window is to use a covering like curtains or blinds. With so many styles to choose from, it is possible to create many different effects.
Consider a Roman blind for a majestic look or black blinds for a contemporary appearance. A lace panel creates a cottage-like look, while still allowing in light, while curtains in any colour or pattern can add interest and variation.
Around the Window
You can add interest to a kitchen window by considering what is around it. A wooden frame will give it a rustic look, while a black frame against white walls has a sleek, modern appearance.
Beyond the frame, you could add texture to the walls or add tiles in a bold or intriguing design. If this is part of a larger kitchen refurbishment with a kitchen expert like thekitchenrefurbishmentcompany.co.uk, ask them for advice on what would look good.
The Window Sill
You can prevent the sill from becoming a dumping ground by having a few carefully chosen items on it. You could keep a little tray with handwash and hand cream, a cookbook stand or a few ornaments to add colour and interest.
Lighting
Consider how your kitchen window is lit. Add interest with a hanging light such as a lantern or a more contemporary light shade in front of the window. An alternative is to have lights set in brass sconces that will reflect the light and accent other brass fittings in your kitchen or use fittings that match other elements of your kitchen décor.
