Choosing Blinds for Your Children’s Bedroom: The Ultimate Guide

Your child’s bedroom should be a fun environment, but also a restful one. Choosing the right blinds for your children’s bedroom is, therefore, incredibly important. 

Redecorating your little one’s bedroom is an incredibly pleasant project to undertake, and an excellent opportunity to get a little creative! When you’re planning the re-do, it’s important to focus on achieving a good balance between creating a space that is both engaging and inspiring, yet also lends itself to rest and relaxation.

Put simply, the bedroom should reflect your child and their hobbies and interests, whilst being a practical place to play, study and sleep. Window dressings, like any other type of furniture, fixture or fitting in your child’s room, should also be chosen with this balance of playfulness and practicality in mind. So, today we thought we would give you a short run-down on how to choose the right blinds for your children’s bedroom, just in case you were unsure as to where to begin!

So, let’s get straight into it…

Sleep-boosting blackout blinds

According to advice provided by the NHS, children require between 8 and 14 hours of sleep per day, depending on their age.

Having the right window coverings in your child’s bedroom is an integral part of ensuring they get a good night’s sleep, as the ideal blinds will help to reduce both light and noise levels during the evening and through the night.

As such, our team here at Angel Blinds are always keen to recommend blackout blinds to parents and carers who are looking for the perfect window dressing for a child’s bedroom.

Blackout blinds stand out as one of the most ideal styles for a children’s bedroom. This is because their key selling point and design feature is that they will block all natural light from the room. This means you can create a feeling and atmosphere of nighttime inside, even if it’s still light out, as it often is at bedtime during summer months. As such, blackout blinds should hopefully make the often arduous task of trying to coax your little one to surrender to sleep a little easier! Plus, they’re thermal-efficient and insulate against noise, too, so they should go some way towards helping to keep your child’s bedroom cosy, warm and quiet.

Prioritise safety with Perfect Fit blinds

Here at Angel Blinds, we often recommend Perfect Fit blinds to those looking for the ideal window dressing for their child’s bedroom.

Why? The answer is simple really. Perfect Fit blinds offer the key advantage of being incredibly safe. This is due to the fact that no cords are present in the design of Perfect Fit blinds. Instead of looped cords, this type of blind is operated by simply moving the bottom bar of the blind up and down. As such, all Perfect Fit blinds available easily meet the legal requirements for blind safety.

Not only can blinds with cords be unsafe for children, they can also be tricky to operate and easily broken. It makes sense, therefore, to consider a cordless Perfect Fit blind for your child’s bedroom, as they offer greater durability and are safe and sturdy enough for your child to operate themselves.

Create a cosy atmosphere with roman blinds

Roman blinds stand out as another wonderful choice for your children’s bedroom.

The soft, calming design of roman blinds can make for a perfectly cosy addition to a child’s bedroom. The timeless design and strong durability of these beautiful window dressings also position roman blinds as a fantastic investment that should stand the test of time, too.

Here at Angel Blinds & Shutters, all of our bespoke, made-to-measure roman blinds can be made complete with blackout lining, too, and are available in a wide variety of colours and patterns.
