Kids Bedroom Shutters — What to Consider

Plantation shutters are a kid-friendly window treatment ideal for your child's bedroom. Block out morning sun to let the little one sleep in, or let light flood in during play time. They are practical, durable, and child safe.

Here are the key factors to consider when designing shutters for a kids room.

Plantation shutters eliminate any dangling or dragging fabric or cords hanging from the window, making them the safest choice for a child's bedroom. Other key benefits include:

• Easy to clean — simply wipe with a duster or soft cloth. No fabric to launder, no strings to get tangled around cleaning

• Allergy friendly — shutters have a smooth surface that does not hold on to dust, pet hair, or dander. They also create an insulative barrier that reduces outdoor allergens entering the home

• Hidden tilt rod — for an even smoother surface to clean and to eliminate the temptation of little hands playing with a central tilt rod

Best Shutter Style for Kids Bedrooms

Full height shutters are the best choice for a child's bedroom, particularly if you want maximum light blockage for sleep. Key benefits

• Maximum privacy when panels are closed

• Adding a mid-rail gives separate control of the upper and lower slats

• Keep the bottom slats closed for privacy while the upper slats let in some natural light

• Close both sections fully for maximum light blockage

• Open both sections fully for maximum sunlight during the day

• Our slats close flat in the upward direction for optimum privacy, letting you peek out without others peeking in

For maximum room darkening, solid raised panel shutters block more light than louvered shutters and can be a good choice for children who need a darker room to sleep.
