Cordless Shades for Safe, Stylish Nursery Design

A perfect nursery contains key elements, like a crib and a changing table. But if too much light comes in through the windows, the environment might not feel calm and peaceful when you need it to. That’s why our Window Magic Blinds & Drapery design experts recommend window shades for a nursery that effectively darken the space.

Even more importantly, the shades should be cordless, for essential safety reasons. We’re here to explain the benefits of cordless window treatments from brands like Hunter Douglas and how you can have stylish shades that ensure a safe nursery for your little one.

What Are Cordless Window Treatments?

Traditional window coverings with pull cords present serious hazards in children's spaces, and the dangling cords are dangerous for pets, too. Cordless shades eliminate that danger. No cords also means fewer components that can break or malfunction.

Modern cordless shades have mechanisms like spring tension or motorized systems, making them safe and convenient. For example, you can easily dim the nursery for nap times or create relaxing bedtime routines without worrying about cord placement or accessibility.

Types of Hunter Douglas Cordless Window Shades

Let’s explore a couple of routes you can take to enjoy Hunter Douglas cordless window shades in your baby’s nursery:

Hunter Douglas offers them in many colors, and all the tones add texture and organic style to any interior space.

Going Automatic or Battery-Powered

The innovative PowerView® Automation enhancement for nursery room windows changes how you think about your home’s window treatments. Open, close, adjust, and program your shades with a remote, app, or voice commands. So instead of putting your baby in the crib and then lowering the shades, you can program them in advance to close right before a nap or bedtime. Most Hunter Douglas shades are compatible with PowerView® Automation, such as:

• Duette® Cellular Shades.
• Designer Roller Shades.
• Vignette® Roman Shades.

The second option, SoftTouch® Motorization, is a battery-powered, cordless system. You move the shades effortlessly by pushing up or pulling down on the attached wand. This intuitive system is compatible with Hunter Douglas window shades, such as:

• Designer Roller Shades.
• Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades.
• Sonnette® Roller Shades.

Manual Meets Modern

Hunter Douglas also offers these cordless, manual operating systems, including:

LiteRise® System

Operate your shades by pushing up or pulling down with your hand. Some available window treatments are:

• Provenance® Woven Wood Shades.
• Vignette® Roman Shades.
• Duette® Cellular Shades.

SpringRise™ System

Push the system up or down with your hands and enjoy an uncluttered view of the window. Compatible window shades for this system are:

• Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades.
• Pirouette® Sheer Shades.
• Silhouette® Sheer Shades.

Additional Advantages of Cordless Window Treatments

Cordless shades offer a streamlined aesthetic without the unsightly and unsafe dangling cords. They're convenient to operate with cleverly designed mechanisms, and the adjustments are smoother and quieter. A cordless shade can also last longer since cord-free means less wear and tear from constantly adjusting them daily.

Additionally, these window coverings have long-term investment value. They easily transition from a nursery to a toddler room and beyond, adapting to growing needs while keeping the safety features.

Can I Add Curtains to Cordless Shades in Nurseries?

Yes, you can layer cordless shades with custom curtain panels for added visual appeal. Choose panels in complementary colors or baby-friendly patterns that tie into the overall nursery theme.

You still don’t have to worry about cords with motorization, for Carole Fabrics™ is a battery-operated, cordless system with a 15-channel remote.
