Roller Shades are an ideal window covering for a kitchen since they are easier to clean & can be great for privacy. Vinyl Roller Shades are very popular since the window covering itself can easily be cleaned or wiped off. These Roller Shades can be made with either a continuos cord-loop or can be upgraded to cordless. If privacy is not an issue another "Roller Shade" option would be to choose a Solar screen. A Solar Screen will block out all harmful UV rays but will still allow a limited amount of light in as well as letting you see out.
Faux Wood Blinds are our go-to window covering. Since Faux Woods are made of a synthetic materiel they are easy to clean and can work out well in a kitchen, they can be made with a privacy option which means they can be made without holes through the slat. Since they don't have holes this makes cleaning the blinds much easier since you can simply slip the slats out of the cords, wash them, then slide them back into the cords. Not only does this made it much easier to clean, it also gives you added privacy.
