Finding the Perfect Balance: Kid-Friendly Window Treatments

Kids aren’t exactly friendly to most luxurious window treatments. Their curiosity extends to every corner of your home. Sometimes, this causes damaged furnishings or injuries.

What if you shopped for kid-friendly window treatments instead? Our team at Budget Blinds listed some of our favorite ideas for creative, child-safe window treatments below. 

Invest in Motorized Window Treatments

First, examine the mechanics of a truly child-safe treatment. Cordless or motorized lift shades or shutters can protect your child from choking hazards. Plus, motorized treatments give you control from virtually anywhere. 

Remote Control

Some motorized products come with remote access. This means you can use either a remote control or an app to manage your window settings. You can request these high-tech features for blinds, shades, and shutters. 

Most kids can’t access the mechanical parts. Since these window treatment options feature no enticing, loose-hanging hardware, you never have to worry about stumbling across your child with a cord around their neck or a small part in their mouth. 

Additionally, remote access features allow you to manage the window settings from beyond the room. Does your kid attempt to climb the blinds or shutters? No worries! Use your remote control or app to quickly draw the treatments. 

Electric Switches

Perhaps you’d prefer control access in the same room. In that case, you should explore electrical installation. Some have wall-mounted switches you can flip like a light switch. You can move in and out of the room while flipping a switch to commence closure or opening.

Explore Other Cordless Options

Do you prefer more traditional kid-friendly window treatments without all the modern trappings? Several cordless options look decorative and provide a great alternative to corded window coverings. Check out a few styles below. 

Roller Shades

Roller shades are a timeless style with superior, durable operational mechanics. Tug the shades from the bottom to pull them down. When you want sunlight or fresh air in your home, tug from the bottom again and allow the shades to draw upward. 

Roller shades come in various colors, patterns, and fabrics. You’re sure to find a perfect match for your interior design preferences. 

Roman Shades

Roman shades might offer more options. You can draw them vertically, like roller shades, or pull them to the side and stow them away like a modern curtain. 

Roman shade fabric is pleated for compact storage after you open them. Just secure them into the port on the side of the window frame. This product works perfectly for larger windows that need expansive coverage. 

Aesthetics Are the Finishing Touch!

Take the final step toward making your window treatments more kid-friendly by adding fun patterns and colors into the mix. Everyone deserves a room that reflects their personality and interests — including your child. Make the windows in their bedroom, playroom, or nursery as vibrant as they are! 

Creative Fabrics

Curtains and shades prevent unwanted sunlight and fluctuating outdoor temperatures from entering a room, making them perfect for bedtime, naptime, and temperature control. They are also user-friendly, allowing older kids to manage their windows. You can also choose from an endless assortment of colors and patterns to match bedding sets, wall decor, and more! 

The fun fabrics make your kid happy. Meanwhile, the safety aspects and streamlined use may make you ecstatic. 

Bright Materials

Going for a more classic look with cordless blinds or shutters? Explore panels with bright colors that highlight otherwise muted aspects of the room. Yellow, powder blue, soft green, and pastel pink are fantastic options.
