Best Window Shades and Blinds for Kids’ Rooms
When faced with outfitting your home with new (or replacement) window treatments, you might be concerned about “getting it right” for each room. After all, there are numerous considerations to factor in, from size of window to aesthetics to the room’s function. At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we’re more than happy to help you find the right treatment to fit your needs and goals. Today, we’re discussing kids’ rooms and things to consider as you look at various treatments. Read on to learn more!
Safety For All
One of the biggest considerations for any space a child inhabits is safety—which includes ensuring that choking hazards aren’t present. Many older window treatments have dangling cords that can strangle kids and pets. This alone is a great reason to change out your treatments! Look for cordless treatments—the best of the best is an automated system like PowerView® Automation, which lets you control the treatment’s movement with the touch of a button. Another excellent option is LiteRise®, which lets you raise and lower the treatment by pushing up or pulling down on the bottom rail.
For a Restful Sleep
In kids’ bedrooms, it’s great to block out as much light as possible so that they aren’t distracted from nap or bedtime just because the sun is still out. Look for shades with room-darkening fabrics. A great option is the Vignette® Modern Roman Shade, which is also available with a blackout liner or the Duolite® option that essentially gives you two shades in one.
Keep It Fun With Kid-safe Window Coverings
Playful fabrics and colors can help a child feel good about their space. The Duette® Cellular Shade comes in a number of colors, designs, and textures that can appeal to a child’s whimsy. Plus, their honeycomb design helps insulate the window, keeping the outside air out and the inside air in, so you can better control the temperature in the room. Even more, they help cut down on external noise, which can help reduce commotion while your child is trying to sleep. As you’re deciding on your “fun/playful” look, just remember that a window treatment is an investment, so a good bet is to find something that will grow with your child. Something too juvenile might need to be replaced in just a couple of years, so don’t be afraid to explore some more “mature” looks as well.
