When friends and family walk into your kitchen, they should know it’s yours right away! The kitchen is one of the best rooms in the home to show off your unique style. Adding a few extra touches to your window coverings is a great way to do that. Learn more about these 7 sensational ideas below.

Average Cost: $
Ease of Installation: ★★★★★
Ideal For: Small windows
These cost-effective and easy-t0-install shelves are an adorable way to show off your cute curtains and your favourite potted plants. Keep your cooking herbs, cacti, succulents, or flowery florals close to the sun by installing shelves midway up your small kitchen window. This metal shelf contains a number of bars, which allows you to hang the curtains through the shelf – and ensures that sunlight continues to shine through! You can find a similar shelf from IKEA for only $30!
2. Rustic Wooden Valence

Average Cost: $$
Ease of Installation: ★★★☆☆
Ideal For: Larger windows
If you are looking for a simple way to complete the rustic look in your kitchen or an easy way to add a charming feel to your room, this beautiful wooden valence is the perfect solution. It is sleek, simple, and an easy way to spruce up your current window treatments. Many kitchens contain horizontal blinds, as they are cost-effective and easy to clean. However, when horizontal blinds are pulled all the way up, they do not look as aesthetically pleasing. A wooden valence can completely hide your blinds when drawn up, but also look great when your curtains or blinds are down!
3. Shelf Above Your Windows

Adding a shelf above your windows can help you show off your favourite decor where everyone will see!
Average Cost: $$
Ease of Installation: ★★★★☆
Ideal For: windows between cabinets
If you love the idea of shelves to display your favourite decor around your windows but aren’t too keen on installing them in the centre, consider adding some shelves above your windows instead! A single shelf between your cabinets and above your window can go a long way. This idea works for any type of kitchen style; modern, retro, traditional, rustic, or any combination! A shelf can help tie together your design – as you can see in the left image, the display plates really emphasize the retro vibe of this bright, sunny kitchen and help bring out the beautiful curtain and shutters!
4. Bright & Bold Patterns

Ideal For: Any window!
Sprucing up your kitchen window coverings doesn’t have to mean adding on to existing curtains or blinds. If you want a bit of a re-do as you update your kitchen, consider buying new, colourful curtains. Bright and bold is in right now, and will definitely help show off your style. Roman shades are a great choice for kitchens, as they come in many different styles, colours, and patterns, and easily pull up to let in tons of light! If you aren’t sure what style is right for you, don’t hesitate to contact the experts to get a professional opinion.

These two examples above show how the simple addition of a little sign can go a very long way when it comes to window decor.
