Best Window Treatments for Kids’ Rooms

Kids’ rooms have very specific needs. They must be fun and colorful to engage growing minds, and, above all, they must be safe. Selecting a window treatment for your child’s room is a weighty decision. At The Shade Shop, we want to make that decision easier on customers, which is why we’re recommending our number one pick: Design Studio™ Roller Shades by Hunter Douglas. Although there are a lot of fantastic Hunter Douglas products available, these are hard to beat when you want to decorate your child’s room.

Window treatments near Grand Rapids, Michigan (MI), that are perfect for kids’ rooms

Opaque

The first priority for window treatments in a child’s room is that they be light-blocking. Although sheer fabrics are lovely, high opacity is essential to reinforce your child’s bedtime, especially in summer months when it stays light longer. Choosing an opaque fabric such as those available with Design Studio™ Roller Shades will make naptime and bedtime much easier–and what parent doesn’t want that?

Cordless 

The next consideration is safety. Window treatments with looped cords are a danger, especially to small children, which makes it crucial to choose other options. Design Studio™ Roller Shades come with a variety of cordless adjustment systems, including UltraGlide® and LiteRise®. UltraGlide® utilizes a retractable cord or wand that remains a contant length for safety. LiteRise® is a simple push-pull system that allows you to adjust your shades with the touch of a hand, without any cord or wand at all.

Motorization is another way to remove dangerous cord loop adjustments. SoftTouch® Motorization gives you effortless lift assist by gently pulling down or pushing up a fixed wand. PowerView® Motorization is a robust system that operates by remote control, app control, or integration with smart home systems. With PowerView®, you can even schedule your child’s window treatments to open in the morning and close at bedtime.

Colorful

Once you’ve covered the basics, you can turn your attention to style. Your children’s bedroom decor ought to be colorful and engaging, which is important for the development of young minds. However, it’s best to choose a style of window treatments that will grow with them and continue to coordinate with their bedroom for many years to come.

The vast array of curated designer fabrics available on Design Studio™ Roller Shades makes that easy. You can choose fabrics that are single color with low texture for a simple palette that is easy to coordinate with, fabrics that are high-texture to provide contrast, or sophisticated patterns that give a sense of energy and movement without being overwhelming.

The featured artist series is particularly ideal for bringing color and energy into a child’s bedroom without being too age-specific. Try Floret fabric in petal pink from featured artist Seema Krish, which combines a bold pattern with a soft hue for a style that works from newborn to teen. Dotted Leaf fabric in Navy, designed by New York artist Rebecca Atwood, is a bolder color with a subtle, energetic pattern that would look wonderful against painted gray furnishings.
