When you’re picking out blinds for a nursery or kids’ room, you might start by thinking about the fun stuff. Will they block enough light for naps? Does the color go with the room? Will sticky fingerprints wipe off easily? But before you decide, think about how the window covering actually works. If you’re shopping for custom blinds for a nursery, playroom, bedroom, or family space, check how they work before you think about fabrics and colors. For homes with young kids, cordless blinds are the safest choice. Still, not every cordless shade works for every family.

Cordless window coverings are the safest choice when young children are around. This risk is real. According to current safety data, about eight children age eight and under die each year, on average, from strangulation caused by corded window coverings. You can operate a cordless shade by pushing or pulling the bottom rail, using a wand, or with a motorized control. What matters most is making sure there are no cords that children can reach. That’s why “child-safe” is a better term than “childproof.” A cordless blind removes the cord hazard, but it can’t stop a toddler from climbing on furniture, opening a window, or leaning against a screen. Before you pick a color or fabric, make sure you check these four basics: no […]
