Four reasons I use blinds in my kids’ rooms
Decorating a bedroom for a child is great fun. With the enormous range of fabulous products
on the market it’s hard not to go overboard!
However, there is one thing I always choose. I always buy blinds for the
windows. And here’s why...
1 They’re Practical
The practical side of me want my child’s room not only dark
at night – but also at nap time. So blackout
blinds are essential. I tend to go belt
and braces here buying both black-out curtains and blinds to ensure everyone
gets to sleep soundly.
2 They Protect
With the light on passersby can see directly into your
home. If your child’s bedroom or
playroom is at street level, protect them from prying eyes by fitting
translucent blinds. These will allow the
light in whilst at the same time protecting them from unwanted attention.
3 They’re Safe
Fitted close to the window, blinds do not cause a trip
hazard unlike long curtains. Ideally use cordless blinds or make sure the cords
have a cleat and breakaway fixings. There is an enormous range of
child-friendly designs on the market and all are designed with child safety in
mind thanks to standards brought in during 2014.
