Whether you’re decorating your nursery for your first-born or breathing fresh air into your oldest child’s space, decorating your child’s bedroom can be a challenge. There’s plenty to consider concerning your kid’s safety, privacy, and comfort, but choosing the perfect window treatment for their space is simple if you know what to prioritize. These are a few tips to think about while shopping for the right window covering.

How to Pick Kid-Friendly Treatments

1. Easy to Clean

Kids aren’t worried about getting messy, but means more cleanup time for you. To make your life a little easier, opt for a durable and low maintenance vinyl window covering made with water- and stain-resistant materials like polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Vinyl blinds and cellular shades in particular are often made with dust-repelling and anti-static properties and only require a quick dusting.

2. Cordless

Children’s curiosity can put them in real danger, leaving them tangled up or worse. Eliminating hazards from their bedroom gives you peace of mind for when you can’t keep an eye out on your young one. Cordless window treatment options like roller and woven wood shades and plantation shutters are stylish without compromising their safety.

3. Sun Blockage

Babies and toddlers need as much slumber as they can get. Window treatments like blackout shades with room darkening fabrics and solid shutters ensure they have a better night’s sleep, along with keeping them protected from the sun’s harsh UV rays. This is particularly important during the summer months when it gets lighter earlier and stays lighter later.

4. Adaptability

Your kid is going to want more control over their space as they get older. Dress their windows with coverings that grow with them while giving them the independence and freedom they’ll increasingly desire. For example, options like adjustable louvred shutters and motorized shades are easy and convenient to operate at any age.
