Choosing the Right Blinds for Your Nursery

Feeding, changing, sleeping, snuggling—your baby’s room needs to serve multiple purposes. To achieve that, you need cribs, mattresses, changing tables, rocking chairs, wall hangings, carpets, rugs, a supply of diapers, and lots of other baby items. But one thing that you might not think about is window treatments. We’ll talk about why your blinds and shades can help you create a nursery that is more comfortable for you and your baby.

Achieving a Dark Room

Very dark rooms are ideal for promoting sleep, and blackout shades are the best way to darken a room. You’ll find blackout fabrics in roller shades, cellular shades, and tailored Roman shades. Adding Bali’s easy-to-install room-darkening side channels reduces the light that can enter the room along the sides of the shades. And for tired new mothers and fathers in need of quality sleep, blackout shades might be a good investment for their own bedroom.

The Cordless Lift System

When it comes to finding the right window treatments for your child’s nursery, cordless lift shades have big advantages. The absence of control cords creates a safer environment for children and pets. And Bali’s EasyTouch Cordless Lift, available on roller and solar shades, is so smooth and whisper quiet that you’ll be able to raise and lower your shades without waking your baby.

Motorized Lift Systems

Another great option for nurseries is motorized lift. A motorized lift roller, solar, cellular, layered, sheer, or Roman shade can be raised and lowered with your phone, a remote control, or a tablet. Similar to cordless shades, there are no visible control cords. Add the Bali app and gateway to your motorized shades and you can raise or lower your shade from anywhere in the world.

Gentle Light During the Day, Great Sleeping Conditions at Night

One of the best solutions for a nursery is a dual shade system. A dual shade is a roller shade coupled with a solar shade in the same window. The solar shade has an open weave that allows some sunlight into the room during the day but reduces the heat and UV rays. Adding a roller shade in a blackout fabric allows you to create an extremely dark sleeping environment when you’re ready to go to bed.

Make Things Easy

There are a lot of things to think about when you have a new baby. Reducing the little details and steps can relieve some of the stress. Picking easy to use and adjust window treatments can help keep things simple. Some of the easiest-to-use window treatments include roller shades, solar shades, cellular shades, and layered shades. One simple movement allows you to open, close, or adjust these shades quickly.
