When babies first come home their needs are basic: eat, sleep, and poop. And so, creating a healthy home environment for them to thrive is based around meeting life’s basic needs. When it comes to sleep, window treatments for children’s rooms can help create a space that nurtures healthy sleep patterns. Choose nursery blinds that are light and sound canceling, which often means pairing two types of treatments for the best coverage. Norman DayNite™ Shutters combine a honeycomb shade and folding shutter for the ultimate blackout, noise reducing window treatment for a nursery. Newborns can sleep 14-18 hours a day, so investing high-quality window treatments for kid’s rooms that create a comfortable place to sleep is a worthwhile investment for most new parents and nurseries.

Once babies become independently mobile, the safety of window treatments for children’s rooms becomes of utmost importance since some window treatments can pose a strangulation hazard for young children. Child-friendly operating systems do not have looped or hanging pull cords, which children could get tangled up in. Plantation shutters are child safe window treatment because they are operated with a push rod. In addition to safety, parents of young children also want to opt for window treatments that are durable, and plantation shutters are some of the most durable window treatments on the market. Hunter Douglas offers three types of plantations shutters: Heritance® Hardwood Shutters, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters, and NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters. Depending on how close you are to the coast and your family’s lifestyle and decorating preferences, any of the three plantation shutters from Hunter Douglas could be an excellent option for window treatments in young children’s rooms.

Teenage rooms are a great place to play with color and modern design. Consider too, that teenagers may be leaving the nest soon, and their rooms might be transformed to meet the family’s evolving needs. Roman Shades come in a variety of fabrics that can add color, pattern, and depth to a room. Black or dark neutral blinds are also on-trend now because the high-contrast shades can be either playful or authoritative depending on how the room is styled. Alta Wood Blinds come in a variety of dark neutral colors that can be designed to work in a teenager’s room, a new guest room, or even a private yoga studio or gaming den like you have always wanted. Don’t be afraid to utilize bold, dark colors for window treatments in an older child’s room where the design, like the child, should be maturing.
