Safe and Fun Window Treatments for Kids

When it comes to kids’ bedrooms and playrooms, you have to choose your window treatments carefully. There are extra considerations, including safety measures, engagement, and sleep needs. At Walls & Windows, we know how tough those decisions can be. That’s why we’ve put together this handy guide for choosing windows for your kids’ rooms.

Safe and Fun Window Treatments for Kids, Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades near Bellingham, Washington (WA)

Cordless Shades

Traditional cord loop adjustments on window treatments pose a strangulation hazard, so the Window Coverings Safety Council recommends selecting a cordless adjustment style for your shades. Luckily, Hunter Douglas has you covered. Their LiteRiseⓇ system is not only safe, but it is also easy to operate. All you have to do is push up on the bottom rail or pull down to adjust and your shades will stay exactly where you left them. As a bonus, the cordless adjustment leaves your window shades with a clean, uncluttered look. LiteRiseⓇ is available on a wide array of Hunter Douglas styles, including Design Studio™ Roller Shades, Silhouette® Window Shadings, Duette® Honeycomb Shades, Vignette® Modern Roman Shades, and many more.

Cordless Blinds

Although shades are generally more recommended for kids’ rooms, Hunter Douglas does have an excellent selection of cordless blinds available with either LightRise® or SimpleLift™. With SimpleLift™, push a button on the bottom rail of your blinds to unlock them for adjusting and they will stay in place until the button is pushed again. Hunter Douglas offers three durable styles of blinds available with either LightRise® or SimpleLift™ including: Parkland® Wood Blinds, EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds, and Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds.

Shutters

One kid-friendly window covering that is often overlooked is shutters. Since they’re naturally cordless, there is no risk of strangulation. These simple yet beautiful window coverings also add value to your home due their permanence. Hunter Douglas offers three gorgeous and durable shutter styles to choose from: Heritance® Hardwood Shutters, NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters, and Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters.

Color

To stimulate your kid’s brain, a colorful window treatment is best. Options such as Design Studio™ Roller Shades and Roman Shades offer a wide range of vibrant colors and patterns that can easily coordinate with the decor in your kids’ rooms! Both are available with the LiteRise® cordless lift system for an ideal combination of safety and color.

Convenience

Not only is there safety and stimulation to consider with kids’ window treatments, there’s also convenience. Cordless styles are more convenient to adjust quickly, but did you know there’s an even better option? PowerView® Automation allows you to control all your Hunter Douglas window shades and blinds with the Pebble® Remote or PowerView® App. It is even compatible with Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters, the only motorized shutters on the market. The feature that parents love most, however, is the ability to schedule your window treatments to open and close at a particular time. Set your kids’ bedroom shades to open when it’s time for them to wake up and close at bedtime, no matter what time it gets dark outside. You can even schedule a special adjustment just for naptime! Reinforce your kids’ sleep schedule with the help of natural light with just the push of a button.
