4 Ideas for Kitchen Plant Windows Your Guests Will Envy
Finding the perfect plants for your kitchen window can feel overwhelming. When shopping, consider your window’s facing direction, draft, kitchen moisture, and whether your kitchen garden is edible, aesthetic, or both. Here are four ideas for the perfect kitchen window garden for any home.
1. Incorporate Herbs
Herbs can help dress up your kitchen and provide fresh ingredients for soups, stews, and beverages. Consider a window box with multiple herbs or grow a couple of favorites on their own. Make sure you trim them often to keep new growth developing. You may enjoy rotating herbs for different seasons, prepping summer drink herbs in early spring, and herbs for fall and winter in late summer.
2. Display Your Best Plants
Use your window as a place to display your favorite plants. Most people spend a fair amount of time at the kitchen sink, so turn your window display into an oasis of your favorite rare-find houseplants to keep guests in awe when visiting your kitchen.
3. Add Window Treatments
While blinds are rarely the look you want in a garden window, consider a window treatment like a half-curtain or a roman shade to provide a pop of color or enhance your plants. Window treatments can easily switch out seasonally to offer different colors and varying amounts of light to help your plants thrive. Some treatments, like faux roman shades, are also easy to make yourself.
4. Cultivate Garden Starts
Kitchen windows can be a perfect place to cultivate garden starts and propagate houseplants or vegetables before transplanting them into their permanent homes. With easy access to light and water, a garden window can be a great location to check on a plant’s needs and progress easily and know when it’s time to repot and transplant.
There are countless ways to approach decorating your kitchen window. However, if your window is drafty, it’s time to consider talking to a pro about window repair and replacement. A drafty kitchen window can increase energy costs and make it hard for plants to thrive. In kitchens, it’s hard to spot drafting windows, especially over the sink. If your garden window plants are struggling, you may have a leak.
