Small kitchen window treatments need to consider a number of elements, including versatility in terms of light filtering, privacy, as well as a visually appealing aesthetic. By their very nature, small windows will only let in limited natural light, so it's important not to minimize your light potential, while still offering a privacy level you're comfortable with.
'Dressing a window [even a small one] can instantly make a plain kitchen look more appealing by adding texture and pattern to the space,' says Linda Hayslett, principal of Los Angeles-based LH. Designs. 'For instance, if you're doing a treatment with a pattern, it can bring in a punch of color and movement. If you're going with something like a woven shade, then that will bring in character and visual interest.'
