However, above all, window treatments need to be safe. As parents position cribs near windows for light, they should also be aware that hanging cords could be a hazard to children’s safety. It is imperative that parents install cordless blinds if children will be in a position where they might be able to reach cords or get tangled in them. Fortunately there are options in almost every design of blinds that can work in a baby’s room from aluminum mini-blinds to satin roman blinds.
With all of these factors in mind, here are the Top Five Window Treatments for Nurseries:
- Deluxe 3/8" Double Cellular Shades: These shades offer insulation against summer’s heat and winter’s cold. Light filters through nursery-inspired colors like blush, buttercup, putty, snowflake, serenity and sunset. These warms colors bring a calm, relaxed element to any room. The cordless blinds ensure children will be safe. One-day production is available for in-stock colors, making this a perfect blind for parents who have been overwhelmed finishing up work projects and realizing they still have an unfinished nursery.
- Satin Roman Shades: These Roman Shades are available in a cordless version. The luxury finish of satin creates and elegant, stylized room for a baby’s first years. The full folds or the teardrop style are optional. These blinds are also available in room-enhancing colors such as sea foam, golden summer and spring blossom.
- For those looking for an inexpensive decorating option, 1" Cordless Mini Blinds fit the bill. Priced reasonably, these window treatments still allow control of light, making it easy to create a dark sleeping atmosphere during the day when kids often find it hard to settle down for naps. There are a variety of colors and these blinds work for oversize windows as well as for normal-sized windows.
- Deluxe ¾" Blackout Single Cell Shades: These shades provide an elegant wider pleat with excellent light blocking ability. They are lined with a mylar insert to block out light. These are ideal for rooms that get 24-hour light from street lamps, or other light sources. They will help provide a quiet, comfortable atmosphere so babies will get the best night’s sleep possible. They come with a limited lifetime warranty and are made in the USA. With colors like Beechwood, Bluegrass and Dogwood, they conjure up images of nature.
- Cordless Translucent ¾" Single Cell Shades. The spun lace honeycomb shades offer privacy from the outside while still letting your baby find his/her rhythm with the cycles of day and night. They will also protect the baby from the sun’s direct rays and help insulate the room against drafts.
