Safety First

Cordless window treatments are not just safer; they also offer a more polished appearance. Babies quickly grow into curious toddlers, so it’s best to start out with a cordless option. Heritance Hardwood Shutters provide timeless style and are cordless by nature.

The adjustable louvers allow you to choose the ideal amount of fresh air and light at any time. Many popular window treatments are available with cordless operation, including blinds, roller shades, and Roman shades.

Don’t Lose the Window

It’s easy to get so caught up in the window coverings that you forget about the actual window. You’ll want to look out the window at some point, and when you do, you won’t want the view wholly obscured. When hanging curtains or drapes, extend the hardware beyond the width of the window frame by several inches to avoid stackback blocking your view. It’s also important to extend the rod far enough to support the weight of the drapery fabric fully.

Keep Your Cool

A room that is too warm can be dangerous, especially for newborns. Duette® Cellular Shades provide insulation at the window to help keep your nursery at a comfortable temperature and reduce outside sound. The dual layers of fabric diffuse natural light, and the optional LightLock™ blackout system will prevent up to 99% of outdoor light from entering the room.

Designer Solar Shades are another excellent option for nursery windows. Solar shades prevent up to 99% of harmful UV rays from passing through the window without eliminating your view of the outdoors and are available in five opacity choices. Consider the dual-roller design to pair any two Design Solar Shades fabrics on the same window for enhanced light control.

Play with Patterns

Use patterns to add whimsy and interest to your nursery. Design Studio™ Roman Shades are available in over 250 colors and fabrics, including refined options that will grow with your child. You can also use cut yardage of Design Studio™ fabrics to create coordinating accessories for the room. Choose from several control systems, including the UltraGlide® retractable cord, EasyRise® continuous cord loop, and LiteRise® push/pull systems.

Considering PowerView® Automation

Take the safety and convenience of your window coverings to the next level with PowerView® Automation. The smooth, whisper-quiet motors allow you to close the shades in your baby’s room without tiptoeing through the room. You can even set schedules for the window treatments so they’ll close automatically at naptime.
