Designing the perfect room for your child goes beyond choosing colours and themes, it’s about creating a space that feels calm and comforting. Children’s blinds play an essential part in achieving that balance; offering a window covering that’s practical, aesthetically appealing and suited to little ones of every age.
At All Kinds Of Blinds, Curtains & Shutters, we understand that families need solutions that stand up to everyday use and most importantly, keep children safe.
Whether you’re designing a nursery for a new arrival or updating a teenager’s bedroom, this guide will help you to find the ideal blind for every stage of childhood.
Blinds can completely transform a child’s room, not only by complementing your chosen décor by adding a cheery design, but also by controlling temperature and light; particularly important for those early risers! From helping little ones to sleep better, to reducing screen glare during homework time, the right choice can make daily life more comfortable.
When it comes to children’s blinds however, there’s a few key things to keep in mind:
Safety: 2014 BS EN 13120 regulations outline that blinds must not have any accessible cords, and if they do, they need to be fitted with child safety devices. At AKOB, all of our blinds are approved child-safe, however, it’s important to check your current blinds if they were purchased before 2014.
Function: Light control and insulation are two important functional aspects to consider when creating a comfortable environment. Although we offer a range of options, most of our children’s blinds are created using blackout fabrics, so you don’t need to worry about broken sleep from sunny mornings.
Style: From bright dinosaur prints to colourful flowers, or neutral tones that match the aesthetic of the rest of your house, the chosen design should reflect you and your family.
Allergies: We also offer fabrics which come Pollergen®-treated, meaning that they are perfect for reducing health issues caused by dust and pollen.
For babies and toddlers, we understand that the priority is creating a peaceful, safe environment that encourages a long snooze.
One of the most popular options for nurseries are roller blinds, which are ideal as a minimalist solution. With smooth-running gear systems, they can be adjusted quickly and quietly to create a dark, calming atmosphere for naps during the day and bedtimes in summer months; making them a perfect year-round addition.
Babies are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature. Choosing blinds from our children’s range means that the insulated fabric can help to keep their room warm in winter and cool in summer.
At AKOB we know that safety is paramount in any children’s rooms. When you order blinds online, there’s unfortunately always the risk that the excess cord can be forgotten when fitting. With us, our installation team makes sure that any excess is removed and discarded.
Our motorised options eliminate the risk of entanglement entirely. With motorisation, you can also adjust the blinds quietly, even from another room, making this the perfect option for avoiding disturbances once your little one has drifted off to sleep.
As your child grows, their room becomes a space for play and imagination. This means that your blinds need to be able to withstand a bit of mess and mischief.
Blinds remain one of the best choices for younger children’s rooms thanks to their easy operation and endless design possibilities. At AKOB, our range of blinds includes fun, colourful prints featuring animals, stars, numbers and nature themes, perfect for sparking creativity and adding character.
Many of our suppliers now offer a large selection of wipe-clean and stain-resistant fabrics making them ideal for busy family life. Whether it’s sticky fingers or the occasional crayon mishap, your blinds will continue to look fresh and tidy.
Not every child likes total darkness, and Vision® blinds or Allusion® blinds could provide a softer alternative to blackout options; allowing a gentle glow to filter through whilst still ensuring privacy and reducing glare. These are particularly good for living rooms during daytime naps.
As children get older, their needs change and so does their sense of style. The ideal blinds for school-aged children and teenagers should balance practicality with a design that reflects their evolving taste. Whether you would like to open up their room by adding light faux wood, or perhaps include an extra layer of style in a busy room by choosing a block colour fabric; the options are endless.
