Pet- and Child-Friendly Window Treatments

Pet- and Child-Friendly Window Treatments

Window treatments improve your home’s privacy, energy efficiency and comfort. If you have pets and children, choosing the right window treatment can help you enjoy the benefits of safeguarding your home while also keeping your family members safe.

Types of Pet- and Child-Friendly Window Treatments

When you have pets and kids, safety is your priority when choosing new window treatments for your home. Window treatments with no cord are the best solution because they don’t have a dangling feature that a pet or child could get caught in. Popular cordless window treatments include:

Shades

Several types of shades make great additions to homes with children and pets. Popular options include:

  • Roller shades
  • Roman shades
  • Pirouette® window shades

These shade styles can all have cordless features, such as manual lifting or motorized window treatment options. You’ll have your pick of designs when you choose shades.

Blinds

You could also get cordless blinds for your windows. Cordless blinds allow easy opening and closing as you simply pull or push the blinds up and down. You could get several styles of cordless blinds for your home to match your aesthetic and make operating them easy. Some styles include:

  • Wood blinds
  • Vertical blinds
  • Aluminum blinds

With vertical blinds, you would open and close them as if they were drapes or curtains.

Shutters

Shutters are another way to keep your privacy and enjoy natural sunlight when they are open. Plantation shutters are one of the most popular shutters that help keep your kids and pets safe. They are child- and pet-friendly because they do not require additional operational features to open and close. The shutters may have a tilt rod you can use to open and close all the shutters at once, while some may open with manual movement.

Drapes

Some drapes and curtains can also be pet- and child-friendly. Ensure the drapes or curtains you hang do not puddle or bunch up at the bottom so your pets aren’t tempted to curl up on them. You can get custom drapery made with motorized features, making it easy to open and close them with the push of a button.
