Choose bedroom curtains/ blinds for children according to 4 key points

Many design elements need to be considered when you’re decorating and furnishing your children’s bedroom. Kids’ bedroom curtains and blinds are just one of the elements that you have to choose.

You have to consider both practical factors and the style that you picked if you want to find the right window dressings for your children’s room. It can be a tougher decision than you think, but it doesn’t have to be that difficult.

Worried about how to choose the curtains/ blinds for the children’s room?

Making the right choice of blinds or curtains for your children’s room might worry you. Safety needs to be a top priority, especially with toddlers. At the same time, you want to make sure that you choose curtains or blinds that look good and that your children are happy with.

There’s no need to fret over your choice as long as you follow our four tips for finding the right children’s bedroom curtains or blinds.

Blinds for Children’s Room Selection Point 1: Safety

Safety needs to be a key concern when choosing the right blinds or curtains for your children’s room. One of the main things to keep in mind is the danger of unsecured blind cords, which can become a strangulation risk.

Between 1990 and 2016, 16,000 children in the US were hospitalized in emergency departments for injuries caused by blinds, and among them, 1 in every 8 children were entangled in cords.

Fortunately, there are solutions to keep your children safe. You have several options to make your window blinds safe, including using cordless blinds and motorized blinds.

1. Cordless Blinds

Cordless blinds take the dangerous cord out of the equation. There’s no need to worry about your children getting entangled while using cordless blinds/ shades. Our range of cordless blinds/shades can be adjusted by hand, without a dangling string or cord.

If you want to ensure blinds for your kids’ room don’t have cords hanging down, you could choose one from these three options:

① Cordless honeycomb shades

The strings in a honeycomb shade are hidden inside the shade, so there’s no evident danger of entanglement.

There are two types of honeycomb shade, one that adjusts from the bottom only (Bottom Up) and one that can be adjusted from the top, bottom or middle(Top Down Bottom Up)

Not only are these blinds safe but also of aesthetic values, providing a smart look for your children’s bedroom.

② Roller blinds with hydraulic spring systems

Spring blinds use a hydraulic spring system to move up and down. They work in a similar way to a projector screen, using springs to move up and down and a hydraulic reducer system to make the movement smoother and quieter.

③ Using a bead chain drawstring holder

Another option is to use a drawstring holder or a safety hook to keep bead chains out of the way. This helps to keep them out of reach of children so that they are safer.

2. Motorized Blinds

Another option is to use motorized blinds. You can choose between Simple Pull Motion blinds and remote control operation blinds.

Simple Pull Motion blinds are available in roller blinds and zebra blinds which are equipped with lithium batteries that can be charged with Micro USB connected to power supplies.

In addition to Simple Pull Motion blinds, remote control type allows you to adjust the blinds with your cell phone or remote controller and it can be installed in most types of blinds.

If you are a hardcore Apple fan, you can choose Eve MotionBlinds which works with Apple Homekit technology.

Blinds for Children’s Room Selection Point 2: Durable and Easy to Clean

Another practical point to consider when you’re selecting children’s bedroom curtains and blinds is durability and easiness of maintenance.

Your blinds will see a lot of use in your children’s room and children aren’t known for being neat and tidy. You need blinds that can be easily wiped clean and endure long-term use so that they don’t break easily.

When you’re looking for the right blinds, you should consider something that has fewer parts and is, therefore, simpler to clean and less likely to break.

If you want something durable and easy to clean, roller blinds and zebra blinds are two of the best styles for kids’ blinds. Both of these styles hang perpendicular to the floor, which makes them easier to clean and less likely to collect dust.

Roller blinds consist of one piece of material, so it’s easy to wipe them down to dust and clean.

Zebra blinds (also called double roller blinds) combine transparent and non-transparent to allow you to have more control over the lighting and shading in the room.

Blinds for Children’s Room Selection Point 3: Light Adjustment

Being able to control the light in your children’s room is another important factor that you should consider when choosing kids’ blinds.

Good light regulation enables you to maintain privacy, as well as let in natural light during the day for a healthier space.

When your child is active during the day, you can open up your blinds to let light in. They will have enough light to play and you can save energy too. Because you won’t be relying on artificial light alone.

When they are sleeping or resting, you can close the blinds to shut out the light. This creates privacy and a calm and dark space for your child to sleep without being disturbed.

There are several types of blinds that are excellent choices if you want to have good light control in your children’s bedroom. Any blind will help you to control the light coming from the window, but some blinds/ shades can give you even more control.

Blackout blinds and curtains are designed to provide a more effective light block to keep light out when it’s time for your children to sleep.

1. Blackout Roller Blinds + Side Track

Blackout roller blinds simply function to roll down over your windows and block out the light. Roller blinds can be combined with side tracks, which help to provide better coverage.

The sides of the blind fit into the tracks to keep it in place, so that the light leaking from the small gaps can be blocked by side tracks to ensure a complete blackout effect.

For blackout roller blinds, we recommend our Sakin blackout roller blinds, made from plain woven cloth in a variety of colors, and Emmi blinds, a textured style that offers both light and heat insulation.

2. Full Blackout Honeycomb Shades

Full blackout honeycomb shades are a safe and effective option when you want to have total control over the light in your kids bedroom.

They feature an inlaid silver coating to provide the best shading effect and completely block out light.

You can choose the TDBU (top down bottom up) system too, enabling you to adjust them from either the top or the bottom when you want to let in the light or block it out.

We recommend another honeycomb style option, our Vali Honeycomb Shades Blackout. It is a safe option with hidden strings and come in a great range of colors.

3. Blackout Curtains

Blackout curtains is another excellent option for controlling the light in kids’ bedroom.

When you are looking for children’s bedroom curtains, blackout curtains provide great coverage and block out the light from outside to create a peaceful and calm space.

Our high-quality fabrics of Zosen curtains are all made in Japan, offering a choice of fun colors and prints.

Blinds for Children’s Room Selection Point 4: Design

While practicality is important, your kids’ bedroom curtains or blinds should also look good.

Choosing curtains or blinds for their design is a must if you want to create a lively, colorful space that your child loves. You can choose from different materials, textures, colors, and prints to find the right window dressings for your children’s room.

If you’re looking for enjoyable designs, zebra blinds are a good choice. They make it really easy to dim light and the striped look adds a bit of aesthetic variety to the room. Our Sima double roller blind come in lots of wonderful colors so you can pick the right tone for your kid’s bedroom.

For a bright and colorful look, our Sakin roller blinds are a fantastic option. Their saturated, bold colors are lively and sure to stand out in any room.

The plain-woven cloth has a fine weave and the blackout effect is well-delivered by the adhesive at the back side.

Vali honeycomb shades give you an elegant and colorful look for your children’s bedroom.

As well as providing a safe option and an effective blackout function, they are also available in multiple colors so that you can match them to the rest of the room with ease.

Our range of blinds and curtains even allows you to choose customized printed roller blinds so that you can get the blinds printed with your kids’ favorite pictures. Keep these four important points in mind if you want to select the best bedroom blinds or curtains for your children.
