A Guide to KOO Kids Curtains

It can be difficult in the best of times to encourage children to adhere to their bedtimes, but a colourful and cosy bedroom will have them ready to unwind in a safe space that's personal to them. Kids' bedrooms are made up of a number of different accents that work together to create a bedroom that reflects their personal interests while remaining age appropriate. One of the most underrated feature of a kid's bedroom is their window dressings. Curtains can greatly influence the sleeping habits of your kids as well as the overall theme of their bedroom. One of the most important things to check when shopping for kids' curtains is if they are designed to be safe for use in kids' bedrooms. Discover everything you need to know about kids' curtains including how to style them, which curtains are best for your kids and so much more, right here at KOO.

The Safety of KOO Kids Curtains

Once children reach a certain age, the need to keep a constant watch on them at home diminishes, but this doesn't mean the attention to safety also decreases. As much as you can educate your children of the dangers of playing with their curtains, it's important you take the necessary safety precautions. KOO Kids curtains are specifically designed with the curiosity of children in mind, that is, they are designed to be cord-free, making these curtains a great choice for your child's bedroom.

If pairing your KOO Kids curtains with blinds, make sure to follow the provided installation instructions to prevent strangulation hazards and ensure you use the child safety devices if provided.

Light Control: Why Kids' Blockout Curtains are Great For Little Ones

If your little one struggles to fall asleep when it's light outside, whether its naptime or bedtime, our kids' blockout curtains are here to help. Blockout curtains are constructed with a light block coating that prevents sunlight from filtering through the fabric of your curtains and helps to create a dark and cosy space. Perfect for longer naps and earlier bedtimes, kids' blockout curtains will not only elevate your child's bedroom decor, but also the quality of their sleep.

Angelic Sheer Curtains

A child's room should evoke a bright and cheerful ambience, and what better way to promote feelings of joy then allowing natural sunlight to illuminate their space. Sheer curtains are constructed with a see-through fabric that allows natural light to filter through to your kid's bedroom even when the curtains are drawn. While these curtains allow natural light to filter through, they don't compromise on the need for privacy when it comes to children's bedrooms and offer coverage over their windows for a sense of security.

The Best of Both Worlds: Layering Blockout and Sheer Curtains

Combine the benefits of kids' blockout and sheer curtains in an incredible window dressings display. Layering curtains allows you and your child to alter the coverage of your windows to their preference. Typically, this involves layering sheer curtains behind blockout curtains, allowing an interchange between the types. During the day, open your kids' blockout curtains and draw the sheer curtains to allow natural light to seep through to your kid's bedroom. And at night, close the blockout curtains over the sheer curtains to create a peaceful space for your child to fall asleep.

This layering of curtains also offers a nice contrast between curtain styles. Sheer curtains and blockout curtains are designed in many different colourways. Create an artistic display by styling two different pairs of curtains together. For instance, the KOO Kids Harper Blockout Concealed Tab Top Curtains block out sunlight while featuring a fun two toned design and are available in pink and blue colour options. This contrasts nicely against the fun-coloured tie top tabs of the KOO Kids Charlie Sheer Tab Top Curtains. A nice comparison between colours and styles, a layering arrangement of curtains is great for any child's bedroom where sunlight requirements are constantly changing.

The Benefits of Room Darkening Curtains

If instead you're looking for a pair of curtains with the benefits of both sheer and blockout curtains, then consider shopping for room darkening curtains. These curtains help to darken your child's bedroom while allowing a minimal amount of natural light to seep through, perfect for children who may be afraid of the dark and need a little bit of light to help them fall asleep.

Storytelling Patterns & Designs

While the construction and the purpose of curtains such as blockout, room darkening or sheer can impact the ambience of a bedroom, the overall design and patterns of kids' curtains also hold a significant influence over the mood of a space. Colourful curtains bring an air of cheerfulness and can make them feel calm in their safe space, but patterned curtains can help to stimulate children's creativity and imaginations.

Printed patterned curtains with stunning creative designs often involving animals or whimsical worlds offer incredible storytelling features that ignite children's imaginations. For instance, the room darkening KOO Kids Archer Triple Weave Concealed Tab Top Curtains feature a pattern of hot air balloons, helicopters and blimps in a watercolour style that promotes adventure and curiosity. This pattern also forms the perfect foundation for you to base your next bedtime story on!

On the other hand, if your child is more of a fan of woodland creatures, then the KOO Kids Alice Triple Weave Concealed Tab Top Curtains will bring a whimsical charm to their bedroom. This pair of room darkening curtains showcase a cute bunny and floral pattern that will instantly breathe new life into any kid's bedroom.

When deciding between the patterns and colours of your kids' curtains, talk with your child! Gather insight into their interests and make them feel as though they are involved in their bedroom makeover!
