Safe And Simple Is The Rule Of The Day For Window Blinds For Childrens RoomsThe decorating magazines show these elaborate window treatments for childrens rooms usually designed for the parents ego- not the kids. Decorating childrens room shouldn't be about "look what I can buy" rather what's user friendly for the child should be the rule of the day. Give the kids a break. Let them be kids. Kids like to have fun, climb on wall if possible and do all those neat things that super hero's do. They might hide behind drapes, run between vertical vanes, and-heaven forbid- write on window shades. I know- not your kids. Maybe your kids don't do those things but they are kids, so why not make their room fun, safe and simple.
Let the Fun BeginGive the room a theme around the interest of the children. If they are into soccer then give them a soccer room, a ballerina should have a practise bar, Bamboo FlooringBaseball bats make great drapery rods, cheerleading pom poms make great swag holders! Buy pieces of fabric in their schools colors and drape them on the wall above their bed for a canopy a queen would die for. Use a low cost smooth pvc verticals some glue and a poster of their favorite super hero or rock star, cut the poster in 3 1/2" strips and glue the poster on to the vertical slats. When you make great looking window blinds for childrens rooms it will mean more to them than any thing you could buy. Get a no holes wood or faux wood blind, slip the slats out with no holes. They slip right out, then paint the slats their school colors or other favorite colors of theirs. Slip the slats back in and you have a one of a kind masterpiece they will be proud of.
Keep it SafeFor childrens rooms vinyl blinds are a lot more kid friendly than their aluminum cousins. You won't have to worry about them getting cut on the slates like you would with aluminum blinds. The vinyl slatts are a lot more pliable than the aluminum ones. Always ask for the newer breakaway and safety cord options when purchasing window blinds for childrens rooms. Safer yet would be to eliminate the cords altogether and go with the cord less version. Safe for a few dollars more is a good investment. If your children are smaller opt out of draperies and just use a valance over your window blinds for childrens rooms to give them that extra special oomph. Which brings us to:
Keep it SimpleWhat do I mean buy keep it simple? I keep thinking back to this shade we made for this young mother to put in her little girls room. It definitely wasn't for the little girl it was for her mothers ego. It was a combination of a roman shade and a balloon shade that had to be sewn and then fabricated by hand one balloon or swag at a time because the long and short point were different for each individual pouf. The resulting shade was gorgeous, but the little girl could care less, she probably would have been happier with a $4 vinyl mini blind. The mother had bought one of those $50 decorating books that are worthless, full of pictures of window treatments that are not practicable or functional and worse still, subtly tell you that your not chic unless 80% of your house is beautifully inhabitable. The point I'm trying to make is to keep it simple. Children need to be kids, they just want to have fun and enjoy their room. $4 mini blinds are not a bad investment for window blinds for childrens rooms. T hey clean easy-just a little soap and water- and should they break-they will-go buy another. Such-a-deal!
