5 Tips for Choosing Shades for Kids' Rooms

1. Prioritize Safety Features

Safety is first and foremost when it comes to kids. And for especially young children, it is important to consciously create child-safe spaces by selecting kid-friendly furnishings and décor. Shades for kids' rooms should be cordless since the loose lines of window treatments pose a strangulation hazard. Shutters are innately cordless, using tilt bars to control the louvers; homeowners can also upgrade select styles of roller shades and cellular shades to cordless treatments with the implementation of motorized operating systems like PowerView.

2. Choose Flexible Light Control

Remember that your kids' rooms will be used both day and night. So ideally, the kids' window treatments you select should be able to provide appropriate lighting day and night. Duolite® is an innovative system that puts a light-filtering and a room-darkening shade onto a single unit so that the treatment can filter or block light as needed. Duolite® is available in select styles of cellular shades for kids' rooms.

3. Save the Elbow Grease

Kids get dirty, and so does everything around them. Save yourself time, elbow grease, and unneeded headaches by choosing shades for kids' rooms that are easy to clean. Roller shades have a streamlined profile that's easy to wipe clean, and hard shutters and blinds require only light dusting or wiping with a damp rag to stay clean.

4. Choose Durability

Durability is worth the investment, especially for elements in kids' rooms that you want to last. After all, kids will put items through the wringer, and shades for kids' rooms need to be able to handle heavy and hard use. The solid materials that make up shutters are able to endure frequent use without showing wear, and their durable materials are also less prone to staining than fabric-based treatments.

5. Seek Features that Promote Healthy Sleep

Sleep is essential to kids of all ages, so make sure kids' window treatments are working with you to create sleep-inducing spaces for nighttime or naptime rest. You need to control three environmental factors to develop a slumber oasis: temperature, sound, and light. Happily, cellular shades can affect all three with their inner honeycomb design that adds a layer of insulation over windows, absorbs sound waves, and can filter or block light based on opacity.
