Nursery Window Treatment Do’s & Don’ts
Roman shades or roller shades? Drapery or blinds? With so many great window treatment options available at Advanced Window Fashions, how do you choose? When you throw a new baby or toddler into the mix, these decisions can become downright exhausting. You need window coverings that are stylish yet safe-attractive, but practical. You may feel compelled to go with the safest option also want a stylish choice that’s not stale and boring. We have some do’s and don’ts to help you create an eye-pleasing nursery that has high safety standards.
Do Avoid Floor Length Treatments
In a toddler’s mind, anything within reach is fair game for pulling and climbing. Drapery within your little one’s reach can also become a safety hazard. Your best bet is to keep any drapery or curtains on the short side and out of reach.
Don’t Let Curtains Steal the Spotlight
When pulled back, curtains will obscure a considerable amount of your view with stack back. You can easily avoid this by choosing panels twice the width of the window and installing the hardware several inches beyond the sides of the frame.
Do Consider a Top Treatment
If you decide to use EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds, adding a valance will bring an extra touch of softness and style while remaining out of reach of little hands. You can also opt for a cornice board if you’d like the hardware concealed with more structure. Plus, with man cord-free options, these blinds are kid-friendly!
Don’t Be Opposed to Roller Shades
Designer Roller Shades are available in more than 400 fabric choices, with opacities ranging from sheer to opaque. For use in a nursery, we suggest Designer Roller Duolite® Shades with a cord-free operation to allow you to enjoy both a light-filtering sheer and a room-darkening liner on a single roller.
Do Play with Patterns
Design Studio™ Roman Shades are available in various exclusive patterns that are both subtle and sophisticated. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are also available in a wide variety of fabrics, but with more subdued patterns. The Vignette line also allows you to create pattern continuity by using Accents by the Yard™ to create custom throw pillows and other accents using the fabric of your choice.
Do Go for Cordless Options
Dangling cords pose a major safety hazard for young children. Rather than worry about keeping the cords out of reach, choose cordless window treatments. Your windows will be much more aesthetically appealing without cords, anyway. Our PowerView® Automation is a motorized blind system that lets you control your window treatments at the press of a button or with your smart home device. With babies and toddlers, sometimes a hands-free option can really help in a pinch.
Do Keep Things Cool
Overheating is a serious concern for infants and young children. Even if you think the temperature is comfortable, your baby or toddler may not be able to tell you they are too warm. Duette® Honeycomb Shades use dual layers of fabric and a unique cellular structure to provide insulation at the window. Your nursery will remain cooler even when it’s hot outside.
