Advanced Safety Tips for Nursery Window Treatments

Avoid Floor-Length Fabrics

As your baby might try to pull up on the window treatments, avoid floor length, trailing curtains, shades, or drapes.

Avoid any Kind of String - Go Cordless

When buying blinds or shades for a nursery, stay away from anything that comes with a long cord or string which could pose a choking hazard. Cordless window coverings are the safest solutions for nurseries, as they are child and pet-safe.

Move Cribs and Furniture Away from Windows

Kids can crawl up on the cribs and furniture near windows and become tangled in control cords. So, they will enjoy natural light without danger.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best window treatment for a nursery?

Cordless blinds, shades, drapes, and shutters are the safest option for homes with children under 10 and pets. Based on our customer-based survey, 84% of the parents looking for nursery room window treatments buy cordless blackout printed Roman shades to create a safe, dark, sleep-conducive, and stylish environment. Those living in hotter or colder climates, almost always select cordless honeycomb blinds for better temperature regulation.

What is the best window treatment for plants?

Sheer nursery curtains and shades are the best window treatment for plants, as they allow gently filtered light for photosynthesis, while preventing harsh sun-exposure that can dry out soil or scorch delicate leaves. Unlike traditional blinds that either block all light or leave plants vulnerable to direct sun, sheer fabric shades provide an ideally-lit space that encourages steady growth and flowering.

Are blinds or curtains better for nursery?

It depends. If your kids suffer from allergies, blinds are a better option as they don’t collect dust, dust mites, and pollen like a thick fabric curtain would. We recommend replacing blind cords with spring-loaded roller mechanisms to eliminate the risk of strangulation.

Is it safe to have curtains in a nursery?

If you live in a dust-free and pollen-free environment, curtains with bottom rail hanging 2.5 to 3 feet above the floor are a safer option. Floor-length curtains or drapes with cords are a strangulation hazard for infants or toddlers. A child may trip and get trapped in them, or pull the curtains off the wall. So, always go cordless and avoid floor-length curtains.

What kind of curtains are best for a nursery?

Dimout or blackout curtains are typically recommended to create complete darkness to help babies sleep best. Opaque curtains block most light (up to 99%) during the day for nap time and provide room darkening at bedtime.
