Article by Artistic Windows Inc.

The interior design of a kid’s room requires special attention to certain details. Even the window treatment for this part of the house should create an ambiance of fun and relaxation for kids since they spend a lot of their time in their bedrooms. There are window treatment accessories and styles in many home improvement stores in Tampa so your choices are virtually unlimited.

Safety is a special consideration for window treatments for a child’s room. Curtains with ropes should be avoided because children tend to grab and pull. The strings on blinds could also be a safety hazard but if you can keep them out of reach, then you can probably use them because they are easy to maintain and they come is colorful styles. Draperies also tend to come in long lights which creates an easy access for more grabbling and pulling.

Going for simple, cool fabrics with minimal beading and attachments would also be best because these could fall off and get into the hands of toddlers or babies. Cotton or satin curtains in pastel shades are good options for creating a brighter room, especially if the room gets a lot of natural light. Light and airy fabrics are subtle means of softening the room’s interior design.

Shades, specifically solar shades, are a good idea for a kid’s room because they help regulate room temperature and they have the ability to filter dangerous UV rays, especially during hot summers.

Shutters are optional but they are good protectors from cold and wet weather. Paint your shutters with bright colors, integrating a few drawings of animals or shapes to make it more kid appropriate. Tie in your window treatment selection with matching or contrasting beddings for a harmonious look.
