The Do’s and Don’ts of window treatment for nurseries  

This helpful list of nursery window dos and don’ts can be a good start!  

Do: Avoid floor-length draperies  

Unless you want your kid to pull down the curtains or climb up and get themselves hurt, it is advisable to keep the drapes short, simple, and out of reach of children.   

Do: Avoid upstaging the curtains   

If you are planning to choose curtains, make sure you buy wide-paneled drapes and install the rod’s hardware far from the window edges. It creates more room for the curtains to get pulled back entirely without blocking the window view and natural light. For safety concerns, kindly ensure that your curtain rod is long enough to accommodate the added width. Curtain rods that get stretched too far can risk getting unstable or may collapse.   

Do: Choose a Valance  

If you are looking for window blinds in NYC, a fabric valance softens its appearance, adds color and texture to your design, and allows you to style the room while staying clear of the kid’s tiny fingers. To create a dramatic effect, you can create a cornice box, which is padded and covered with fabric. These minimalistic wooden frames box on the top of the window provide added structure to any traditional valance.   

Do: Go for an inexpensive roller shade   

Unlike blinds, roller shades are relatively inexpensive and can feel like it’s not there during the day while ensuring you receive plenty of sunlight. Choose an ultra-thin, light-blocking model, and attach a decorative fabric to the front for a soft, colorful finish. It may sound intimidating at first, but with the right window treatment expert like Stylish Window, it can be a cakewalk.   

Do: Introduce pattern  

Add a whimsical touch to your baby’s nursery room with some fun design and patterned fabric for your window dressings. To balance the continuity, make sure you feature your chosen pattern multiple times throughout the entire room. At least 3-4 uses per pattern are recommended for a perfect balance. For instance, you can coordinate the nursery bedding with the curtains using the same fabric or create an accent pillow for your little one. Looking for some coordinating pattern choices?

Do: Enhance the theme  

If you are more into a nautical theme, we suggest choosing some old nautical maps to add to the pull-down roller blinds. If the room is for your baby girl, crown the window treatments  in Manhattan with fancy tiara-inspired cornice boxes.  

Do: Choose a childproof blind  

Window blinds with long, exposed cords and embellishments can pose a strangulation hazard for children who recently have started walking. Therefore, before leaving your children alone in the room, ensure that the cords are safe and out of reach of their hands. To install blinds, make sure you first install a safety device designed to control cord access. Also, consider buying blinds that feature new breakaway cords, which eventually break when stressed out.   

Do: Keep the room cool  

It is always a good idea to install heat-reflecting, UV-blocking window treatments to make the nursery feel cool during the hot summer days. Choose double-lined, UV-blocking drapes or a set of heavy blinds to help your little one beat the heat during their afternoon naps. Also, you can use a window film that reflects the sun’s heat and can directly get applied to the window glass.   

Don’t: Save the curtains shopping for the last  

While decorating the nursery room, choosing the fabric elements should be the get-started step. Considering the astounding array of available paint colors and the prevalence of color-match technology, it is easier than before to choose your fabrics first and then paint the rooms to match and compliment your fabrics.  

Don’t: Do not ignore the window treatment installation  

Curtain rods and blinds casings can cause hazardous risks, especially if you choose poor-quality hardware for the curtains. To ensure safety, make sure you choose curtain hardware that gets fixed directly to the wall stud or secured using a quality drywall anchor.  

Don’t: Don’t use tension rods  

Tension rods are not screwed to the all, as a result, they may collapse easily, causing a nasty bop on the head of the toddler who will always give a good pull to the curtain panels. Curtain hanging hardware should get attached directly to the wall to avoid any accidental risk.  

Don’t: Don’t choose embellished curtains  

Curtains with beading, cording, and other such embellishments are not recommendable for a nursery room. Such items may loosen later and could get pulled off by the kids, posing a choking risk. Instead, go for something like fun prints, rich textures, and embroidery.
