Bringing extra functionality to your windows

Part 2 of Home Love with Wendy Moore has landed — and this time, it’s all about the hardest-working rooms in the house.

In her latest renovation reveal, interior designer Wendy Moore transforms the kitchen and laundry of her investment property into bright, practical spaces designed for real family life. Think clever budget swaps, layered finishes and a fresh coastal feel that carries beautifully from room to room.

This blog we're zooming in on something that often gets left until last… the windows.

Because when a kitchen and laundry work this hard, your window furnishings need to do more than just look good.

Why functionality matters (especially here)

Kitchens and laundries are high-traffic. High-light. High-everything.

Natural light is a gift — but without the right control, it can mean glare on benchtops, heat build-up and fading finishes. Privacy matters too, especially in family homes or investment properties with neighbours close by.

For this space, Wendy chose for our signature Honeycomb Day Night blinds with soft sheer in the top (Day) and matching blockout in the bottom (Night) — a combination that delivers flexibility, insulation, ultimate light (and privacy) control, and a tailored stylish finish.

Practical and beautiful. They work as a team.

The power of layering

Our Honeycomb blinds are designed with a clever cellular structure that helps reduce unwanted heat transfer — meaning better temperature control year-round. In a sun-filled kitchen, that’s not just nice to have. It’s essential.

Layered with sheer curtains in other parts of the house, the look softens instantly. Harsh light becomes diffused. The room feels calmer. More finished. More intentional.

It’s a simple move that completely shifts how a space feels — without blowing the renovation budget.

And because every Veneta is custom-made, each blind and curtain is tailored precisely to your window, completing your interior and keeping needs met.
