Our Favorite Child-Safe Window Coverings
When we’re shopping for window shades for our home, we prioritize three attributes: safety, privacy, and light control. Safety from known hazards like hanging cords can pose a risk to young children and any pets in the home. Whether you are seeking light control or privacy for those important rest times or play times, you want window coverings that look great in loved one’s rooms and require minimal work for parents.
When you are searching for window treatments that combine those elements, our team at Curtain Time has come up with our favorite child-safe window coverings for Massachusetts homes. From Hunter Douglas top-down bottom-up shades to kids blinds, we’re sharing options perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, playrooms, and anywhere families gather together.
Our 5 Favorite Child-Safe Window Coverings
1. Top-down Bottom-up Shades
The flexibility of Hunter Douglas top-down bottom-up shades is part of their appeal. The ability to open from the top or bottom makes them ideal for kid's rooms. Not only does the design provide for expanded light control to create interior lighting for a variety of activities, but it also considers the unique privacy needs in kids bedrooms. The Hunter Douglas top-down bottom-up system is available on multiple models of window treatments including Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades, Duette® Cellular Shades, Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, and Vignette® Roman Shades.
2. Faux Wood Kids Blinds
Privacy and safety should be prioritized in any child’s room, so homeowners should look for treatments that can provide both features. Faux wood is the perfect material for kids blinds because they are durable enough to stand up to the sometimes-rough treatment of our youthful family members. Everwood® Faux Wood Blinds also have several cordless operating systems to improve child safety including PowerView® Automation, LightLock®, and SimpleLift™. Users can raise or lower their blinds with a button press or a push/pull system, and tilt their vanes up to block the view.
3. Vinyl Shutters
As naturally cord-free window treatments, interior shutters are innately more child-safe than window coverings with loose moving parts. The hard louvers of vinyl shutters are easy to clean and are ultra-durable, both useful features in households with children. Additionally, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are compatible with motorized operating systems for the ultimate in control and convenience.
4. Cellular Shades
Duette® Cellular Shades offer both light control and insulation, which makes them popular in kids rooms and nurseries, as both of these important features are needed to create a comfortable space for play or rest. Duette® Cellular Shades have cord free operating systems like PowerView® Automation, LiteRise® and UltraGlide® and can be updated with the LightLock® system for blackout window shades.
5. Layered Window Treatments
Adding multiple layers of protection to the windows in a kid’s room can add to the style and control parents can enjoy. Multiple layers of insulation at the window help to keep the space cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Custom drapes can pair with cellular shades, vinyl shutters, kid’s blinds, and styles of Hunter Douglas top-down bottom-up shades to add more insulation, sound dampening, and room-darkening effects. And to keep the treatment child-safe, Hunter Douglas custom drapes are compatible with cord free wand control or PowerView® Automation.
