In every corner of our homes, the safety and well-being of our children come first. When it comes to their bedrooms, a sanctuary of dreams and imagination, every detail matters. This includes the blinds we select for their windows.

Beyond blocking out sunlight and offering privacy, the blinds in a child’s bedroom must also prioritise safety. At Aspiration Blinds, we ensure child safety without compromising on style.

Why Child Blind Safety is Paramount

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has raised alarms in recent years, shedding light on a number of accidents and, tragically, some fatalities that have involved young children and window blind cords.

What might seem an innocuous part of room decor, can actually be a lurking danger. Free-hanging window blind cords can present a potential hazard, especially for young children and toddlers who, driven by curiosity, might play with or become entangled in them.

Aspiration Blinds’ Dedication to Safety

Committed to not only providing high-quality blinds but also to ensuring the safety of our youngest customers, At Aspiration Blinds, we offer child-safe versions of our blinds.

Every child deserves a safe environment, which is why we also extend the option of installing child safety devices at no extra cost, effectively minimising potential risks. 

Popular Blind Styles for Children’s Rooms

Selecting the perfect blind for a child’s room isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about blending style with safety. Aspiration Blinds prides itself on offering a broad spectrum of choices that cater to the imaginative spirits of children while giving parents peace of mind.

Roller Blinds

Roller blinds are a top choice for children’s bedrooms, and for good reasons. Their design inherently reduces the risks associated with free-hanging cords, making them a safer alternative. But safety doesn’t mean sacrificing style. 

Aspiration Blinds offers a wide range of roller blind designs, ranging from simple block colours suitable for any decor to themed patterns that bring a child’s favourite stories to life. 

We can even bring themes to life, like these Harry Potter blinds below, transporting young wizards and witches straight to the magical world of Hogwarts, all while ensuring their room remains a safe haven.

Other Child Friendly Blind Options

While roller blinds are a standout choice, Aspiration Blinds’ collection offers more. Depending on room requirements and personal preferences, there are several other styles that balance safety and design:

Vertical Blinds

Often chosen for their ease of use, vertical blinds can be adjusted to let in varying amounts of light. Their cord-free design can be ideal for kids’ rooms.

Venetian Blinds

With horizontal slats, Venetian blinds allow precise control over light and privacy. Look for versions with cordless controls to maximise safety.

Blackout Blinds

Blackout blinds are perfect for ensuring a good night’s sleep, especially during the brighter summer months. Their design focuses on blocking light, but safety remains a top feature.

Whatever the choice, Aspiration Blinds emphasises safety features and design benefits to ensure children’s bedrooms are both delightful and secure.

Tips for Ensuring Blind Safety

Child blind safety goes beyond choice of the right blind; it extends to its installation and the arrangement of the room itself. 

Here are some best practices every parent should adopt:

Positioning Furniture

It’s vital to place furniture, especially climbing-prone items like cribs, chairs, and tables, away from blinds and windows. This minimises the chances of children reaching for and playing with blind cords.

Control Cords & Chains

These should never be within arm’s reach of young ones, especially around their sleeping areas. Cots, beds, and playpens should be placed with this in mind to prevent curious hands from grabbing and getting entangled.

Secure and Opt for Cordless

Loose-hanging cords present a clear danger. Always ensure they’re secured out of reach. If feasible, opt for blinds with cordless controls, which are both user-friendly and intrinsically safer.
