Decorating a child's room is a task that is simplified today with the wide variety of fabric, paintwork, accessories and furniture available in the market today, but the most popular and economical way to give it a boost is with window treatments- and child curtains
are the rage today with ranges from plain to fancy and everything in between to fulfill dreams and playtimes for babies and toddlers and preteens.
Selection of child curtain
Older children usually love to be a part of the decorating process and
if given the choice of selecting their own curtain fabric, they are more likely to enjoy the room and the efforts put in when combined with their own judgments being taken in to consideration also, thereby adding to the longevity in choosing this very important
element of room décor. It is wise to choose backgrounds and patterns that show longer appeal than those restricted to a certain age group as this can limit the child's choice as he grows up and may outgrow it. One can choose accessories around it too, like bedding
and inexpensive area rugs to create a sense of continuity. Roller blinds are now available with nursery prints and are a good way to liven up a child's room while blocking out harsh light at nap times. Fabric valances give fashion and grace to girls' rooms and clean,
panel cut curtains with favorite sports patterns or solids are natural options for active boys room curtains. Finally, adding small touches and simple details like shapes and colors in contrasting colored borders, welted edges, box pleats or ribbon ties can add a
different dimension to the room too.
Safety and simplicity in child curtains is important
While style, color and functionality is important in choosing a child curtain, it is safety that is a priority and curtains for children must be selected
wisely. Long draperies should be avoided especially for small children learning to crawl and walk as grabbing on to long and flowing fabrics can cause the hardware to come down or smother the child. Also corded hardware on blinds should be bought only if has safety
cord options to prevent breakaways, if blinds are used. Shorter curtains are best for a child and shades and blinds are good options but be careful about the placement of drapes near a crib or changing table as this can provide an opportunity to children to pull them down
