Finding Window Fashions for Kids
At Windows, Walls & More here in West Bloomfield, many of our customers ask about how to find the right treatments for their kids’ rooms. Frequently, we find that they’re nervous about “getting it right.” Luckily, we have a few tips for treatments that work well for kids and their rooms. Read on to learn more and be sure to speak with one of our consultants to see any of our products in person.
Child Safety
Especially with younger, exploratory children, choking hazards can be a problem. Infants and toddlers can get caught in dangling cords and be severely injured. Many older window treatments have dangling cords that can strangle kids and pets, so getting a replacement for safety reasons is key. Look for cordless treatments—the best of the best is an automated system like PowerView® Automation, which lets you control the treatment’s movement with the touch of a button. Another excellent option is LiteRise®, which lets you raise and lower the treatment by pushing up or pulling down on the bottom rail.
A Focus on Sleep
Children need to get their Zzzzs, both overnight and during daytime naps. Part of what can help with distractions is cutting out as much light as possible, especially during daytime hours and when the sun is up later than your child should be. Shades with room-darkening fabrics are a good bet. A great option is the Vignette® Modern Roman Shade, which is also available with a blackout liner or the Duolite® option that essentially gives you two shades in one.
Fun Styles for Children’s Shades and Blinds
Because you’re covering a window in a kid’s room, you might be looking for fun styles to help your child feel good about their space. The Duette® Cellular Shade comes in a number of colors, designs, and textures that can appeal to a child’s whimsy. Plus, their honeycomb design helps insulate the window, keeping the outside air out and the inside air in, so you can better control the temperature in the room. Even more, they help cut down on external noise, which can help reduce commotion while your child is trying to sleep. You can also look at the Hunter Douglas Design Studio™, where renowned textile designers have offered exclusive fabrics, including some whimsical patterns that will mature as your child does, helping to reduce the need to replace something too juvenile in the years to come.
