Child-Friendly Shades that Grow with Your Family

When kids come into the house, they change everything, bringing with them their own unique needs and perspectives. And as they grow, those needs grow and change with them, maturing from that of a vulnerable baby to an independent teenager. And while many things in their lives will come and go, there is no reason that their window treatments can’t grow with them for years of dependable use.

Hunter Douglas NewStyle® Composite Shutters near Quincy, Illinois (IL)

With child-friendly shades from Hunter Douglas, our team at Mr. K’s Fabric Shop offers the best blinds, shutters, and shades that will last for years and grow with your family—from the youngest and most rambunctious toddler to the senior members of your family.

Safety for the Youngest Family Members

In the beginning of one’s life, it’s all about security. Because babies and toddlers have a habit of getting into everything, it is important that everything in their environment is child safe. Cordless window shades are the safest option for young children, as hanging lines or cords from some window coverings may pose a strangulation hazard.

Happily, there are many styles of cordless shades in the Hunter Douglas catalog of modern window treatments. To start, plantation style interior shutters are naturally cord-free, using a tilt bar to open in close their louvers in lieu of cords or lines. Homeowners can also transform models of cellular shades, Roman shades, drapery, and roller shades into cordless shades by choosing cordless options or upgrading to systems like PowerView® Automation that replaces loose lines with motorized control.

Color Palettes Good for Mature or Youthful Aesthetics:

We love the timeless look of white as a primary neutral tone for window treatments in children’s rooms. Using neutral colors in child-friendly window shades ensure they can grow with the developing aesthetic of your kids. White works in the soft stylings of a nursery, the playful and hectic rooms of toddlers and young kids, and the developing maturity of the teenage palate. White is also the brightest of the neutral tones to help keep the feeling in children’s rooms light and airy, an aesthetic that’s actually desirable in bedrooms for residents of all ages.

If you want your child-friendly window treatments to be able to grow with your children, then they have to be able to last as long as your children do. Opting for durable treatments like shutters ensure years of use as your children grow. Paml Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters were designed to withstand both heavy use and harsh conditions for lasting durability—plus, they come in three neutral tones perfect for a transitional space that will grow with your kid as they age.

Design Features Beneficial Through Any Season

Another option for child-friendly shades that stay functional as your children grow is to choose features that are beneficial to them at any age. Cellular honeycomb shades like Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades, for example, provide insulation to keep bedrooms cozy and comfortable year-round, and they also help to create an ideal sleeping environment by controlling temperature and muffling sound. Cellular shades come in many forms in the Hunter Douglas collection including hybrid styles that have been combined with roller and Roman shades.
