Faux Wood Shutters are durable, easy to clean, and naturally cord-free, so they're a great choice for kids' bedrooms, playrooms, or any room where kids may play unattended. Plus, they give windows a high-end look and are great for curb appeal.

Draperies

Add privacy and a pop of color to any room with custom curtains. Blinds.com draperies are available in a beautiful array of fabrics in solid prints and patterns. We recommend choosing a blackout liner for kids' bedrooms to help them sleep more soundly. For safety, be sure that curtain rods are installed securely into a stud, so that little ones can't tug and pull them off of the wall.

Cordless Light Filtering Cell Shades

Cordless light filtering cellular shades are one of our top sellers for a reason. They're affordable, easy to lift and lower with the touch of a finger, and have a clean look.

Vertical Blind With Wand

Turn any vertical blind into a child safe choice when you select a wand control instead of a loop cord or chain. Vertical blinds are a durable and functional choice for large picture windows and sliding glass doors. Consider choosing a vinyl version for easy cleaning.

Cordless Solar Shade

Solar shades block glare while still giving you a view outside. A cordless lift is safer for kids and allows you to adust shades by just tugging on the end of the fabric. Solar shades are made with a vinyl-coated woven fabric, so they can be easily wiped down with soap and water if any sticky hands get a hold of them.
