How Do Blackout Curtains Work?
Blackout curtains are designed to block light from entering a room. They can also help dampen sound and add privacy. They're ideal for use in bedrooms, nurseries and home movie theaters. The kids room blackout curtains you'll find at West Elm come in different designs. Choose from single panel curtains, a set of two curtain panels or cordless shades.
A single curtain panel is perfect for use with a small window. Two curtain panels can add a more finished look to a room, and they work well for larger window spaces. Roller shades or Roman shades offer a streamlined look to your window. Our blackout kids shades are cordless by design for added safety in homes with children and pets.
Our shades can be placed as an inside mount or an outside mount, and they come with installation hardware. Both our roller shade and Roman shade options feature a blackout lining.
When you're deciding between an inside mount or an outside mount, consider the following: inside mounts are ideal in rooms with minimal wall space or for layering with curtains, while an outside mount covers more of your window and can boost the light-blocking potential of the shade. An outside mount helps make a window appear larger than it actually is.
Choose from neutral colors like white, natural or gray kids curtains for easy integration with your kid's room. Or invite the soft, subtle shade of our blue, brown, yellow or pink options for a touch of colorful variation. Solid black shades add to the light-dampening effect and add a dramatic touch.
The heathered fabric of our crossweave polyester curtains lends subtle textural detail to your windows and walls. Include a sewn-in blackout lining to ensure no light gets in. You'll also find airy, lightweight linen curtains available. They offer a casual-chic flair to your window and a relaxed, lived-in look. Choose linen curtains with a blackout lining for full light-blocking potential.
Designing the Look of a Bedroom with Kids Room Blackout Curtains
As you narrow down your selection of blackout kids curtains, don't forget to measure the width and length of your window to choose the right size of curtain or shade. For curtains that you'll be opening and closing regularly, make sure they sit just above the floor so they can move easily along the curtain rod or pole.
When you've drawn your blackout kids curtains or pulled down the blackout shades for the night, consider other ways to add cozy illumination and comfort to your kid's room before bedtime. In our kids lighting options, you'll find playful picks like colorful table lamps, woven flushmounts, lunar wall lights and cascading LED string lights. Envelop their bedroom with the soft, cozy textures of throw pillows, floor cushions and blankets. From star-themed shapes to colorful cactus shapes, supersoft faux fur throw pillows to luxe velvet floor pillows, you're sure to find the right designs and textures to create a warm, inviting space that's just for them.
