When designing your baby’s nursery, selecting the right window treatments is crucial. The key for designing your baby’s room is finding the perfect balance between safety and function. Of course, aesthetic is another important aspect of your child’s room, but the window treatments’ flexibility and safety are of the utmost importance.
Blackout Shades for Better Sleep
It’s very important to regulate the light in an infant’s room. Babies keep their own sleeping hours, so blackout curtains are usually the best idea for little ones who needs a lot of sleep. This way, evening street lamps or afternoon sun won’t keep your baby awake and midday naps are not out of the question. Managing darkness in the bedroom contributes to better sleep, which is why light blocking nursery curtains or shades are recommended so your room stays dark.
Cordless for Child Safety
Baby nursery window treatments also have to be the most safety-conscious of any room in the house. Window cord strangulations are one of the top hidden hazards in the home, which is why purchasing cordless products or those with inaccessible cords are a must. Cordless window treatments are available in different styles, colors, and sizes. There are two cordless window options that are currently popular: motorized shades and top down/bottom up. Both of these options eliminate cords and are also completely compatible with any number of blackout drape materials.
Cellular Shades for Functionality
Designed for light filtering or for total sunlight blockage, cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, are one of the hottest new trends in window shades. Cellular shades are ideal for a nursery because their functional and have Top Down/Bottom Up capabilities. Top Down/Bottom Up shades can roll from the top to allow sunlight in, while providing privacy at the bottom of the window.
Color Schemes
Studies show that developing infants respond positively to primary colors and simple, black and white graphic stimulation, so employing an organized palette throughout the room is recommended. Don’t overwhelm your child with competing colors but try to match primary color panels in crucial locations. For example, harmonizing drapes, seat cushions, and wall decorations will create a solid and stimulating visual environment for your baby. As your child grows, the room’s design and function will inevitable change.
