Choosing a window covering for your child's room can be hard. You want to choose something that looks good, is safe for your child, and doesn't cost the earth. Cordless roller blinds are a great option on all fronts, providing a safe, attractive and functional solution. You'll avoid the safety issues that can be present with other types of blind or curtain. Read on to find out exactly why cordless roller blinds are perfect for your child's bedroom, no matter what their age.

Blackout for better sleep

Roller blinds are made from a solid panel of material which can be fitted exactly to most standard sized windows. The blinds pull down completely to achieve full window coverage. There's no chance of light peeking through like there might be with curtains, where a small gap is often left in the center. They're also more effective than Venetian blinds--although these can be closed, some light will still escape through the slats.

You can choose special blackout blinds to achieve complete darkness in your child's room, even when it's light outside. This is really useful when trying to establish a good bedtime routine. A completely dark room shows your child that it's time to sleep. It also ensures full privacy if your child's bedroom window looks out onto the street.

Wide range of designs

Because they're so easy to print onto, roller blinds are available in loads of colors and designs. If your child's room has a theme, then you shouldn't struggle to find a matching blind. Popular prints include dinosaurs, flowers, sweets, and animals. If the room doesn't have much decoration, then blinds are a really easy way to add some. As roller blinds are relatively cheap and easy to install, you can rest assured that if your child grows out of the design it won't cost too much to replace.

No dangerous cord

Cordless roller blinds are operated using a metal rod which can be twisted in either direction to open or close the blind. This is really easy for adults to use and can be kept out of reach of children. The fact that there is no cord eliminates the risk of tragic accidents - there have been past cases of children dying after becoming tangled in blind cords. Investing in a cordless solution is the best way to keep your child safe. As the blind is a solid panel of material, there are no small parts to present a choking hazard. Be sure not to buy blinds with any embellishments like sequins or beads, especially for younger children.
