The Best Blinds & Curtains For Children’s Bedrooms

Completing home interior tasks for your child’s bedroom can be a really fun activity to do with your child. Or if your child would rather leave you to do all the hard work, a fun event to do on your own! Choosing the perfect blinds or curtains is an important interior task to help set the theme of the room. Let’s look at a roundup of some of the choices.

Blinds

Blinds create a lovely, relaxed style for your child’s bedroom, and there are several different types of blinds to select from the Home City Inc. One thing to be very aware of is the safety aspect. You will need to make sure you select a blind type that is sold complete with a child safety device that removes any risk of unrestrained cords and chains.

Shutter Blinds

Shutter blinds carry several advantages. Firstly, they will help to keep your child’s room cool. Excellent for those extra hot nights when your child may struggle to sleep. Shutter blinds also keep the room from losing heat in the winter. Shutters also help to reduce any noise that may come from outside.

Venetian Blinds

Venetian blinds are easy to clean, dry or damp cloth is fine. With these blinds, it’s easy to control how much light enters a room, but still offer the option for privacy. From a style perspective, the designs can be elegant and help give a somewhat sophisticated feel to a room. A good choice for an older teenager.

Verticals Blinds

Here we have an attractive and reasonable option that is also nice and easy to maintain. Another great thing about vertical blinds is that they come in a variety of fabrics including uPVC and wood.

Easy Wipe Roller Blinds

These are a great type of blind as they are available in many great designs and easy to keep clean-perfect for a kids bedroom! Once again a damp clean cloth is all you need to clean the blinds. Whatsmore, easy wipe roller blinds can be purchased in all sorts of fun designs such as animal and character prints.

Roman Blinds

Of course, it is not just about the design of a blind but its thermal capacity. And Roman blinds can help bring warmth and comfort to a child’s room. Style-wise you can purchase one colour designs, as well as pretty patterned blinds. Another great choice for preteens and teenagers who may appreciate a slightly more sophisticated option. Having said that you can still purchase Roman Blinds that suit a younger child’s room too, with simple, colourful designs including flowers, animals or their favourite characters. A good pair of Roman Blinds will come with a high-quality headrail and controls for the option of a blind that is strong and long-lasting.

Curtains

A good pair of curtains can last a decent amount of time. They may require a bit of fuss to clean, but many these days are machine washable (finding somewhere to hang them to dry can be more of a challenge!) They are a bit more reasonable than blinds and are easier to change should your child grow out of their current setup! Plus, many kids may find they offer the best mix of warmth and cosiness. Importantly, they are a child-friendly option when it comes to safety and ease of use.

Cotton Lined Curtains

You could purchase a thinner cotton pair of curtains that will block some daylight. These are a nice light curtain style that won’t be too expensive to purchase.

Blackout Curtains

Blackout curtains will do a fantastic job of keeping all daylight out, so if this is your main concern these thicker fabricated curtains are your best bet! You can also opt for retractable blinds or blackout blinds instead.

Thermal Curtains

Quite thick but not as thick as blackouts, thermal curtains will help prevent heat from escaping during the winter but also help keep the heat at bay during summer. An advantage of these curtain types is that they can help save on energy costs.

Made To Measure Curtains & Blinds

Made to measure is a good choice if your child has an awkward window setup! This way blinds or curtains can be measured and made to fit the exact dimensions of the window space.

This will mean you can have blinds or curtains made up from a much larger range of fabric types and design styles. It can be a fuss-free experience that takes away any stress of blinds or curtains not fitting their designated area! But, there is always a downside, and made to measure curtains or made to measure blinds will come at a higher cost than their pre-made counterparts.

No matter if you and your child opt for blinds or curtains you are sure to find an option that helps make a great, comfortable room! And hopefully, your children would be content with the chosen option for a fair amount of time before they get bored and want something new!
