Safe Windows for Kids and Design Options from Next Day Blinds

This is part 2 is a series of posts where I take you through the process of choosing window treatments with the help of a Next Day Blinds in-home design consultant, Leslie Press. You can enter to win $200 to Next Day Blinds here!

Design Advice for a Kid's Room

Leslie takes me through the various options for safe window treatments for the Twins' room. I had cordless honeycomb shades from another vendor which were great but one broke and then I replaced it with a DIY one from Lowes.

We are ready for something a little more sophisticated but still very safe, and sturdy.

 I was thrilled to learn about the warranty, the variety of choices, and that I wasn't stuck simply choosing a new color of the same shade I already had in there!

These are my child safe choices from Next Day Blinds:

Cordless honeycomb shades like I already had

Deisgner Leslie Press takes mesaurements of my existing cordless honeycomb shade

Cordless but colorful roller shades

Roller shades would offer a nice pop of color

Fancier roman shades on a continuous cord loop

Roman shades came in fewer color choices but a sophisticated look that is still child-safe

If you are looking for window coverings that are safe for your kids, check out the options offered by Next Day Blinds HERE. If you are in the DC area, be sure to take advantage of the FREE in-home design consultation.

What safe window option do you have in your child's room?

Disclosure: I received a set of roman shades for the girls' room at no charge from Next Day Blinds in exchange for covering the in-home consultation and purchasing process on my blog. Leslie is THAT good as you can see in the video and I only edited the end slightly to shorten it by a few minutes. I am very impressed with the quality of the blinds which you will read about in later posts. All opinons are my own and this post was neither reviewed nor approved by Next Day Blinds prior to being published.

How do you cover your windows?

Window treatments, window coverings, blinds, shades, shutters....whatever you call it, choosing how to cover windows is no easy task. Which is why I was grateful for the opportunity to work with Next Day Blinds and one of their local in-home design consultants to choose something to cover the Twofers' windows.

Step one in choosing blinds is to narrow your choices

Next Day Blinds designer, Leslie, was incredibly helpful and explains here how she starts the process with a customer. By the way, Next Day Blinds offers in-home consultation FREE as part of their service!

As you can see, Leslie knows her windows. You will see in a future post how she saved my do-it-yourself window catastrophe and gave me a do-over that not only looks much better, it's functional and safe for the girls to be around.
