Choosing Child Safe Window Coverings

A child’s room should be their safe space—a place where they feel like they can explore and play. When you are selecting décor items for this space, whether you are getting a child’s room ready in your home or updating your kid’s existing space, remember that safety is fundamental like with most things for children. Even window treatments have special requirements when it comes to meeting the needs of the youngest family members.

That’s why our team at Don’s Drapery Service offers child safe window coverings with cord free design and insulating shades that create cozy, comfortable spaces. We can help you shop the Hunter Douglas collection of window treatments to find the best type and style for your kid’s rooms.

Create Cozy Spaces with Duette® Cellular Shades

A great window treatment that we love for kids’ rooms are cellular honeycomb shades. This type of soft treatment affords a key range of environmental control that can transform a room into a great sleep oasis or cozy playroom. It is the unique honeycomb-like structure found in cellular shades that gives homeowners the power to effortlessly create the perfect environment for their child. And with the option for cordless control, including motorization, cellular shades are also child-safe window coverings perfect for the little ones in your life.

• Unmatched Insulation: Temperature control is key to comfort, whether you’re kid is awake or asleep. Cellular shades contain discreet built-in air pockets to insulate windows, blocking heat loss in the winter and preventing heat from entering in the summer, making them kid friendly shades with a purpose.
• Noise Reducing: For a better night sleep, most of us (adults and children) prefer a quieter environment. In addition to offering insulation, the honeycomb design of cellular shades is excellent at absorbing sound for quiet and peaceful home interiors.
• Light Control: To create rooms appropriate for sleep or play, kid friendly shades need to be able to create a wide range of lighting options. Cellular shades are excellent at blocking or filtering light, but with the addition of a modern cordless operating system like PowerView® Automation or the Top-Down/Bottom-Up system the treatment can effortlessly create a wider range of lighting suitable for any kid’s play. To create a darker room for naptime or nighttime, the Duolite® feature adds a room-darkening liner to create an additional layer of protection at the window for flexible light control.

Enjoy Durable Cordless Style with NewStyle® Composite Shutters

A durable and stylish solution for any space, faux-wood shutters are also an optimal choice for kids’ rooms and playrooms alike. Like cellular shades, the appeal of shutters as kid friendly shades is rooted in their ability to create controlled and comfortable home interiors. The slatted design of plantation style interior shutters allows homeowners to tailor lighting, privacy, and air flow all at once with style appropriate options for children’s rooms—plus, their faux wood composite material is ultra-durable and perfect for spaces where kids spend lots of time.

• Cord-free Design: Shutters are naturally child safe window coverings because they do not utilize hanging cords for control—rather, shutters have a tilt bar that opens and closes the treatment’s louvers. No dangling cords lines means no strangulation hazard, and parents can rest assured that their kid’s room is outfitted with child safe window coverings when they choose shutters for their kids’ rooms and playrooms.
• Durable and Long Lasting: Saying kids can be tough on things is an understatement. Kids test almost everything in their home environment, and their items need to be durable. Composite shutters from Hunter Douglas are built with enhanced strength and are designed to perform in high traffic areas, ensuring the treatment will last through even the most active of homes.
• Range of Light Control: The louvers on a shutter, which move in unison, create unique interior lighting conditions in which the shutters can allow natural light but also provide privacy for your family. When it comes to child safe window coverings, few treatments match shutters for the range of protections they offer—from cord-free design to safeguarding your child’s privacy from peering eyes.
