In many homes, the kitchen sink can be found over a window. This design is not done by accident, and in fact there are multiple reasons why this is the norm. Windows are placed on exterior walls, which is more convenient for your kitchen sink plumbing. Having your sink beneath a window allows for fresh air to come in while cooking or doing the dishes. A study also shows that placing your kitchen sink near a window can increase your serotonin levels, making you happier!
We’ve just mentioned a few of the benefits to having your kitchen window over the sink, but there are a few problems that can arise when adding window treatments to your kitchen. Food splatter, water droplets, and steam can all damage and warp your blinds or shades. In order to keep your kitchen window treatments looking good, ShadeMonster has a few key factors to keep in mind when making your decision.
