Choose Blackout Blinds
Blackout blinds and shades are proven to help improve sleep. Early morning sunlight can interrupt anyone’s sleep routine, especially a young child’s. If you have a baby or young children, you know that helping them sleeping in longer in the morning is important for both your little ones and for Mom and Dad!
Roller shades and honeycomb shades are excellent for blocking both light and some noise, as well. If you were hoping for something stylish like Roman shades or woven shades, not to worry. You can add a blackout liner to them to get the look you love with the blackout effect you need.
Inside mount blackout blinds can leave slight light gaps on the sides so if you need more than 95% light blockage, don’t worry. We have solutions for you!
Try Total Blackout Blinds for 100% Light Blockage
Thanks to bottom and side rails, these Total Blackout Shades block all unwanted light. Light gaps appear when shades are mounted inside the window frame. This is simply to prevent the blind from fraying against the side of the frame. Total Blackout solves that problem entirely.
You can choose the honeycomb version for insulation as well. Or go for the roller option, which offers the same darkness, but can be upgraded to a motorized lift system. Plus, they come with a No Drill installation headrail to make the process even simpler than you can imagine. They literally just pop right into place. In seconds, your child’s nursery can be turned into the ultimate sleep sanctuary.
Layer with Drapes for Maximum Darkness
Layering blackout drapes is one of the most effective ways to achieve true, room-darkening conditions because it addresses the small gaps that standard window coverings often leave behind. Even the best blackout shades can allow light to seep in around the edges, but adding a second layer of thick, well-fitted drapes helps block those remaining light leaks.
This combination creates a more complete seal against outside light, reduces glare, and enhances privacy. Beyond darkness, the extra layer also improves insulation and sound absorption, making the space feel more comfortable, restful, and quiet—ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, or any room where light control matters.
Top-Down Bottom-Up Honeycomb Shades
The best blinds for nurseries and kids rooms will be practical, as well. If you want blackout shades at night, but love to let light in during the day, you will love our Top-Down Bottom-Up Honeycomb Shades. They allow you to easily let light in while still maintaining privacy. They’re easy to adjust – even for children.
Plus, honeycomb shades come in a wide range of colours so you’re sure to find the perfect match for your nursery or kids rooms. We also offer a Two-Fabric shade so you can switch from light filtering to blackout effortlessly.
Affordable Blinds
Children have a tendency to wear out even the finest things in a home. They also have a tendency to cost their parents lots and lots of money! So, you probably don’t want to overspend on blinds – or anything for that matter.
We know raising a family is expensive, so we offer a variety of blinds and shades that are ideal for anyone on a budget. We also know you want to save money without compromising quality. That’s why we have a whole section on our website devoted to budget-friendly blinds – made with our usual quality craftsmanship.
