Child-Friendly Blinds from Hunter Douglas

Not all blinds are created equal, and when you’re choosing the right blinds for your home, picking an option that remains useful while being safe for children makes a big difference. Safety is a major priority in homes with children. The dangling adjustment cords found on many blinds can be a hazard for small children. Sleep habits are another important consideration since homes with children typically require better light-blocking to aid with naptimes. At The Drapery Shop, we love using blinds from Hunter Douglas in spaces that need to be child friendly. They combine great safety features, excellent light-blocking, gorgeous styles, and top-notch technology for a product that checks all the boxes. Here are a few reasons we think you’ll love them, too:

Safe, Cordless Operation 

Long and looping adjustment cords are a huge danger for small children and even pets. Luckily, Hunter Douglas has not one but two solutions to make your home safer. Add LiteRise® to your blinds, and all you’ll have to do is push up to raise them or pull down to lower them. SimpleLiftTM works similarly but only when you press a button on the bottom rail. Both systems are available on all Hunter Douglas horizontal blinds and are safe to use in homes with children.

Better Light Blocking 

It can be challenging to get your child to sleep, especially for daytime naps or early bedtimes during long summer days. Stray light coming through your blinds can make it even worse. That’s why Hunter Douglas blinds with de-LightTM can be a parent’s best friend. Block 50% more light with de-LightTM, which removes cord holes and eliminates light leakage. Less light helps your child sleep better so you can rest easy, too.

Gorgeous Styles

One of the best things about child-friendly blinds from Hunter Douglas is the full selection of styles available. You are not limited to any particular blinds to get the features you want. LiteRise®, SimpleLiftTM, and de-LightTM are available on all Hunter Douglas horizontal blinds.

  • Parkland Wood® Blinds are made with authentic, sustainably harvested wood for a classic look.
  • EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds have the appearance of hardwood but are crafted from a synthetic material that resists bowing, cracking, fading, or peeling, even in extreme heat or humidity.
  • Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds are available in a wide selection of colors and specialty finishes, including matte and pearlescent, with a durable construction that maintains shape even during rough handling.

Reinforced Sleep Schedule

Not only can your blinds be safe and helpful additions to your home, but they can also be game-changers. With PowerView® Automation added to your Hunter Douglas blinds, you can schedule them to open and close at the same time every day; that gives you amazing back-up when you’re trying to get the kids to take their midday nap or go to bed on time. PowerView® also allows you to control your blinds with a remote, app, or even voice control when you connect it to your favorite smart home system, including Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit.
