Which blinds to choose for the kitchen?
Their variety is actually quite large. To begin with, you need to decide whether you want vertical or horizontal blinds . And they both have a place to be in the kitchen, and the choice between them is made after evaluating and weighing all the pros and cons.
Horizontal blinds for the kitchen are the most familiar form, with horizontal slats that can open and close, as well as rise and fall up / down.
Blinds for the kitchen can be made of different materials - aluminum, plastic, wood, bamboo. And in this rather extensive choice is their main advantage. In addition, it is the horizontal blinds that save space by installing directly on the sash of the window.
Of the minuses - less durable and easy to use design. Often thin slats break, creak and make noise during drafts.

An alternative to traditional blinds are roller shutters for the kitchen. They can be the same in density over the entire area or in the form of a "zebra".
The so-called day-night blinds for the kitchen are a kind of roller blinds with the ability not only to lower and raise them, but also to regulate the dispersion of sunlight due to the presence of two bands of different density in the fabric. When scrolling such a roller blind, you can achieve a coincidence of light and dark bands, which causes the level of shading in the room to differ.
