Window treatments for children's rooms

In children's rooms, two things are essential: child safety and blackout. Loose cords and chains pose a risk for small children — always choose cordless operation. Pleated blinds can be made child-safe with a Child Safe system: tensioned models have no loose cords. Honeycomb blinds offer the same safety plus excellent insulation, keeping the room at a comfortable temperature year-round. Roller blinds with a spring mechanism are an affordable cordless alternative. Blackout fabrics help children sleep better, including during afternoon naps.

Tips

Always cordless

Always choose cordless operation in children's rooms. Loose cords and chains are dangerous for small children. Choose a spring mechanism, handle or electric operation.

Blackout

Blackout fabric helps children sleep better, including during afternoon naps. Choose blackout fabric combined with side channels for maximum effect.

Secure mounting

Always mount the window treatment securely with screws in the wall or ceiling. Prevent children from being able to pull it down.
