Stunning Shutter Ideas for Modern Kitchen Window Treatments

If you think shutters only work in country kitchens, we beg to differ. Kitchens and shutters go together well for many of the same reasons shutters are a great fit for Hawaii homes. One place that custom shutters are simply stunning is in modern kitchen spaces. They also provide light control, privacy, and ventilation. Plus, they are a durable option that will stand up to this busy space with complicated and often competing design needs.

Our team at Kaloko Shutter & Blind has served the Big Island for many years. Read on to learn more about how you can create a cozy, functional, and modern kitchen with Hunter Douglas shutters.

Choosing Shutters for Modern Kitchen Window Treatments

Shutters offer an opportunity to inject personality into your kitchen. They can blend in or contrast with your cabinetry and flooring—the choice is yours. For a minimalist approach, select shutters with clean lines and neutral colors. Consider shutters with bold finishes or distinctive textures if you prefer a dramatic effect. Look for colors and finishes that complement your kitchen’s design elements, from cabinetry to countertops.

If the kitchen window is close to a sink or stove or receives excessively bright sunshine and humidity, consider materials that hold up to heat and moisture. Also, think about how the shutters will impact your kitchen’s lighting and ventilation. Adjustable louvers are particularly useful for managing light levels throughout the day.

Our team will measure your windows accurately during your purchase. Proper measurements ensure a perfect fit, preventing gaps or obstructed views. We can guide you to the best shutter styles and handle measuring and installation correctly.

Modern Shutter Ideas From Hunter Douglas

As a Hunter Douglas Showcase Dealer, we offer an outstanding selection of the brand’s shutters:

HunterDouglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters

Crafted from the durable, UV-resistant Polysatin™ vinyl material, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are beautifully suited for areas with high moisture. They have a classic yet contemporary design, available in three neural hues. Choose from 2 ½", 3 ½", or 4 ½" louvers—the material won’t discolor, warp, fade, peel, or crack, our Palm Beach Promise™ to you.

Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters

Heritance® Wood Shutters are made from premium hardwood and come in different stains and finishes. They also offer several louver sizes and are constructed with Truemill® dovetail construction a joinery method that is similar to fine furniture, as well as being finished off with a stunning Integra™ Finish. We recommend these shutters for kitchen windows farther away from sun and moisture. For example, if your kitchen and dining table are combined, hardwood shutters will look lovely farther from your appliances.

Hunter Douglas NewStyle® Composite Shutters

There’s another option if you want the look of wood shutters but have concerns about durability. NewStyle® Composite Shutters have the classic look of wood and the practicality of hybrid materials. Their composite construction makes them resistant to UV damage, warping, and discoloration. They have smooth, flat panels that complement modern kitchen designs. Plus, they are made with the same durable Truemill® dovetail construction as Heritance® Wood Shutters.

Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters and NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters also work well in bathrooms, where moisture can also be an issue.
