Window Treatments That Grow With Your Child

For many homeowners, the nursery is often the first investment made to a bedroom, and its design is planned down to the last detail: themes and colors, a comfortable chair for late-night feedings, and little touches that make life easier. But as the child grows, needs change—and the room won’t be the room they want at six years old, or at sixteen.

At Curtain Time, we’ve spent more than four decades helping families across the Greater Boston area find window coverings that are safe, durable, and flexible enough to keep up.

Here are some ideas for window treatments that work well for a variety of spaces in any home—perfect for nurseries, playrooms, teen’s rooms, home offices, and anywhere in between.

Safety Comes First at Every Age

Dangling cords are a known risk for young children and pets. That’s why all of our window treatment options are cordless, and many are upgradable with motorized operating systems

We’ve written before about child-friendly shades and our favorite child-safe window coverings, and our approach hasn’t changed: if a child can reach the window, the cords shouldn’t be there.

Nursery Window Treatments for Better Naps

In a nursery, light control and comfort come first—you want your windows to provide flexibility and coverage between 3 AM feedings and 3 PM naps. Hunter Douglas Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades pair the clean profile of a roller shade with an insulating cellular structure that helps the room hold a steadier temperature—but they also muffle sound.

Room-darkening fabrics make daytime naps and early bedtimes easier, even in June. Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades are available with LiteRise® cordless operation, or with PowerView® Automation so you can lower the shade handsfree without waking anyone.

Durable Window Treatments for Kids Rooms

Once babies become toddlers and toddlers become kids, window treatments get grabbed, tugged, and occasionally drafted into play. Hunter Douglas blinds are built for durability.

Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds have the warm look of real wood in stain or paint tones, but resist fading, yellowing, warping, and bowing. Sticky fingerprints simply wipe off with a damp cloth.

EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds also come with cordless lift options, so you get a classic blind look without a pull cord. Their timeless finishes also mean the blinds won’t look dated once the kid’s room decor comes down.

Teen Bedroom Window Treatments With Personality

By their teen years, kids want a room that feels 100% different and more like their own personal space. Custom metal blinds from Hunter Douglas offer a slim, modern profile in finishes ranging from crisp neutrals to bolder colors and textures. Narrow slats give precise light control, which helps cut glare on a laptop during afternoon homework.

Custom drapery is where personality really shows through. Our workroom can fabricate panels in the colors and patterns a teen wants, with blackout lining for ready for sleeping in on Saturday morning. It’s an easy way to express personal style in a bedroom without committing to it forever.

Plan for the Room Your Child Will Grow Into

For most kids rooms, we recommend a layered approach. Start with a durable, cordless base layer like blinds or shades that can stay put for years. Then add custom drapery on top. Drapery is the easiest layer to change, so when a child’s favorite color changes, you’re simply repainting and then updating drapery fabric, not starting over on a whole remodel.
