FAQs

What blinds are best for a children's room?

Roller blinds and cellular blinds (or honeycomb blinds) with blackout lining are the best choices for a kid's room. However, parents also go for Roman blinds, faux wood blinds, and aluminum mini blinds. Available with a blackout lining, Roman blinds add an elegant, soft touch to your child’s room. “Fauxs” and “minis” are preferred for a classic look.

What are the most kid-friendly blinds?

Cordless blinds, top-down bottom-up blinds, motorized options, and shade with tie-down devices are the most kid-friendly blinds, as they have no dangling cords and eliminate potential choking or strangulation hazards.

What blinds are best for small rooms?

Available in sizes as small as 15 x 24” (w x h), blackout roller shades are the best window treatment for a small room, like a kid’s room. Plus the minimum depth requirement for an inside mount is just 2”. They come with one fabric piece that can be rolled up to keep your tiny window open wide. To make your window look larger, go with an opaque roller shade and add a few inches to both width and height.

What are child-safe blinds?

Blinds with a cordless lift or having concealed or tensioned cords are ‘safe by design’ for nurseries and children’s playrooms. You can pull or push them into position using a wand, your hand, a push-button, or a remote. CPSC-approved motorized blinds and shutters are also cordless, so they are child-safe.
