How have you dressed your kitchen window?

[NanaStrikesAgain]

Our kitchen window is 3m wide x 1m tall and runs along above the worktop with the sink in the middle. It’s an east facing room but there is a huge hedge less than 5metres from the window (neighbours hedge) which blocks a lot of light. We have to put the lights on everytime we’re in the kitchen.
the kitchen is quite echoey especially if talking on the phone in there. I’d like to add some blinds or maybe fake (?) curtains (we’d never shut them) to soften the harsh blank wall.
How have others finished their kitchen decor? I don’t want to make it any darker though.

I just have house plants on mine. Curtains/blinds, even fake ones, will take away light but also gather dust and grease (the dust will settle onto the grease).

We have nothing at the windows or on the windowsills in the kitchen. We like minimalism and being ultra tidy and clean.

When we had our kitchen done last year I removed our blinds and was considering replacing them but never did
By the time I put a few plants on the window ledge etc I didn't think it was necessary BUT our kitchen isn't ovrlooked at all

Bought the house and it had roller blinds but after awhile got rid of those and don't have anything. Our kitchen is private anyway so not a big deal.

I have candles and tea light holders on mine, and a roller blind we close at night.

We relocated the kitchen in our old cottage this year to a dual aspect room with windows facing north and south.

The south-facing rear window (with sink in front) overlooks our extremely private garden, so we have no curtains/blinds, just a vase of flowers. The north-facing front window (actually two sashes next to each other) feels less private so we have roller blinds in a colour that's almost identical to the walls. Over these we have faux relaxed roman blinds that stay 'up' all the time, whereas the roller blinds are closed at night.

Ours is overlooked slightly on one side, but I’m not that bothered. I’ve got three champagne bottles with fake flowers in, but have no desire to be classy or elegant!

Translucent roller blind?

Yes i was worried about anything collecting grease/dust.
I just want to make it less echoey somehow

Mine is lined with plants. No blind/curtains.

If your main concern is to remove the echo, rather than a desire to have curtains, what about a rug or adding sound-absorbent fabric elsewhere?

A William Morris daylight roller blind in willow bough pattern. I have to have a blind because the sun shines in and irritates me at the sink

I have a large plant and a small vivarium full of grasshoppers.

Quite nice to watch them while washing up.
