Fun with Color

Fashion-forward styles of interior shutters from Hunter Douglas come in a range of colors, and in children’s rooms (especially young children) it can be fun to play with the color palette. Or, interior shutters are also available in the spectrum of neutral tones, including blacks and whites which are popular neutral bases for modern design and color play. Using neutral colors for window treatments is one way to also make the style versatile and flexible as neutral tones can work in the ever-changing and maturing styles of a kid's room as the kid grows up; so, from infancy to young adulthood shutters can adapt to suit changing tastes whilst remaining a child-safe window treatment.

Child Safe Operating System

Safety is paramount in children’s rooms, and shutters offer numerous child-safe operating systems. From manual operation via front or hidden tilt bars on the NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters to PowerView® Automation on Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters; the safety features of shutters for kids’ rooms revolve around what they don’t have, hanging cords. Hanging or loose cords can pose a strangulation hazard for young kids or small pets; shutters have numerous options for operating systems that are cord-free and therefore child safe.

Durability

If window shades are going to last in children's rooms, they need to be durable. Heritance® Hardwood Shutters are very durable with hardwood slats and Truemill® dovetail construction. The slatted design can stand up to long-term use with minimal need for upkeep, and the hardwood slats are also easy to clean and keep clean for allergen-reduced environments. Faux-wood composites like in Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters are also great for kids’ rooms because their enhanced materials are extremely durable and resistant to moisture and water damage.

Privacy and Light Control

Shutters are also useful in a kid’s room because of their ability to block light and provide privacy. Norman DayNite™ Shutters create sleep-inducing darkness for nighttime and naptime and open up for natural light during the day for playtimes. And during playtimes, shutters can provide natural light but also privacy because their louvers tilt up and down. So, you can have natural illumination but also privacy at the same time for spaces that are fun, safe, and comfortable for your kids.
