If your kitchen window faces a garden would you put a blind in it?

My garden is not overlooked. We have not had anything in the large window since we bought the house. The natural light does not bother in any way either.

No, we don’t. Our neighbours can probably look in from one of their upstairs rooms if they want too but don’t suppose they do.

We've just taken out a window and put big sliders in but I'm not bothered about blinds.

The window that was there had blinds and we never ever used them.

No. Been here years. No blind in kitchen window or glass doors.

Just about to take it out.

Yes because on a winters night it will reflect the cold away from the room and also I've watched too many horror films. 😁

Nope, unless the sun was in an awkward angle at meal/food prep times which you've said doesn't apply. I'd prefer not to have blinds in the kitchen as they acquire smells from cooking but the sun hits the only place we can put the table and is dazzling at dinner time in summer so blinds it is.

Yes, and I shut the blinds at night, I don’t like bare windows or the bleakness of an undressed window.

So I do have a blind on kitchen window.Absolutely no one can look in our kitchen window. I use it sometimes when I am being blinded by the sun.

Ours faces open fields and yes, we have a blind I just put down at nighttime.
Too spooky staring out into the pitch darkness!

Yeah, I would. The room can feel a bit cold/undressed in the winter with just a blank dark window,

I have a blind at mine, but only because the sun beams in, blinding me.
We never move it from it's half down position for that reason.

We have a blind in a kitchen overlooking our garden and it has never been pulled down, getting the kitchen done this year and I won't be putting another up

Yes I find it cosier at night and on the dark winter mornings. It also helps keep the sun off, during our usual one week of hot summer.

We have curtains in the kitchen and living room, just to dress the windows we hardly ever close them as the garden is not over looked.

No. Blinds in kitchens can get a bit greasy.

No. Badgers and foxes come for their food in the evening and I love seeing them peeking inside.

This 😜
I have blinds and cafe curtains, I shut the blinds at night, I don't like looking out into the dark, too spooky!
I have two 6' wide windows so get plenty of light when the blinds are open

My mum always had blinds because she was afraid of being shot through the windows. She lived in a peaceful suburb and wasn't involved in any kind of gangland activity or in a witness protection scheme.

She died aged 75 of a stroke, not from being shot through her window.

We aren't overlooked, day to day. My neighbour and her gardener seem to be constantly up a ladder trimming 'things' and peering over the fence. They also have a window cleaning who can look in. I like the option of the blind for these occasions, but if they aren't applicable to you, then no, I wouldn't bother with one.

We don’t have any curtains or blinds in the kitchen or the lounge.

Yep we have blinds. There are lots of trees in the garden and it gives me the creeps when it's dark.

Us too, nothing but sheep, yet I still need the blind in case someone is watching me from the garden 😅

My back window in the kitchen doesn’t have a blind, the two side windows do because they look along the road whereas the back one overlooks the garden and impenetrable woodland.

No. My kitchen faces the back garden and I have no blinds.

This is the only reason we have one in our kitchen, the sun hit the kitchen when we are cooking dinner in the summer and it is blinding. Otherwise we wouldn't bother.
