Window Treatments for Kids and Playrooms
When it comes to kids, designated areas for sleep and play are crucial. When looking into window treatments for your children’s room, aesthetics aren’t the only factor you should focus on- functionality and safety are also major roles. You want to ensure your little ones have a safe space to enjoy, while also being out of harm’s way.
Finding a balance between design and purpose is important. You want your room to look nice and flow well in design, but also maintain security. Cordless shades are a great investment for any room with small children. Cords and dangly bits can prove dangerous for those that can be easily tied up in hanging strings, and window cord strangulation is a legitimate hazard in the home. Motorized shades and top down/bottom up shades are great options for rooms such as these.
Top down/bottom up shades can also be a great option for those who value privacy. These shades roll up from the top, allowing sunlight in, but still cover up the bottom of the window. On the topic of privacy, consider black-out shades as well. These shades are great for rooms in which sleeping children will be present, as well as changing areas. These shades block bright midday sunlight or even night time street lights from creeping into the room.
We all know how messy children can be, which is why you should consider stain resistant and easy-to-clean shades. If you’re searching for that cosy feel, faux wood blinds may be a great option for you. They’re durable, won’t warp from moisture or heat, and best of all super easy to clean! Aluminium mini blinds are also a great option, plus they come in many colors!
