For toddlers and preschool children, safety is vital. They will need a low bed or one with a bed rail. Electrical outlets will need to be covered, and the windows need to be secure so children can t climb out and hurt themselves. It isn t a good idea to use long curtains in children s rooms. Try a double row of caf curtains or blinds to be pulled down for privacy.
Blinds are safe and easier to clean.
Blackout blinds give you the opportunity to let children sleep later in the morning rather than waking up at first light. Vinyl-coated shades are very practical and can be wiped clean with a damp sponge. Mini blinds allow you to control the light coming into the room. Blinds can also be used instead of expensive doors on the front of closets. Be sure to keep the cords out of the reach of young children.
