Practical Style: Choosing the Right Blinds and Shutters for Your Kitchen
When it comes to kitchens, your window dressings need to do more than just look good.
Heat, steam and splashes mean your Blinds or Shutters should be practical, durable and easy to maintain, without compromising on style.
Here are some of the best options we recommend for kitchens across Essex.
Roller Blinds – Wipeable & Easy to Clean
Kitchen blinds need to cope with everyday cooking life, which is why PVC Roller Blinds are such a popular choice.
✔️ Moisture-resistant and wipe-clean fabrics
✔️ Available in a huge range of colours and designs
✔️ Upgrade with stylish cassettes for a sleek and stylish finish
✔️ Made with love in our Wickford factory
Practical, low-maintenance and a smart choice for your Kitchen. Our Roller Blinds give you everyday durability with the option to add extra style.
Faux Wood Venetian Blinds – The Kitchen-Friendly Alternative to Real Wood
For a timeless look with modern practicality, Faux Wood Venetian Blinds are one of the best choices for kitchens. Unlike real wood, they won’t warp or crack in humid environments, making them perfect for areas with heat, steam and moisture.

If you want something extra special, Plantation Shutters are a timeless choice. Our Perfect Fit Shutters and moisture-resistant Window Shutter options are designed to perform in kitchens, giving you style and practicality combined.

Which Kitchen Blind or Shutter is Right for You?
Every kitchen is different, from a compact galley to an open-plan family hub.
The right solution depends on your window style, layout and how you use the space. And while some options are perfect for kitchens, others aren’t designed to cope with heat, steam or everyday use.
