Your nursery window treatments checklist

Before choosing your nursery window treatments, here’s a few important things to consider:

-Safety first: cordless or motorised options, positioned away from cots and climbable furniture.

-Blockout for quality sleep: light-blocking fabrics for nap time and early morning sun.

-Privacy requirements: especially important for street-facing rooms.

-Practicality: washable, durable fabrics or easy-to-clean surfaces that handle daily life.

-Temperature and noise control: keeping rooms cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and a bit quieter overall.

-Style that lasts: designs that won’t feel too babyish as your child grows.

Nursery curtains

You can’t go wrong with curtains in a nursery – they bring a this wonderful sense of softness and warmth that works beautifully in children’s bedrooms. With our wide range of sheer, blockout and unlined options, it’s easy to find nursery curtains that suit both your style and budget.

Blockout curtains for better sleep and insulation

Blockout curtains are an excellent option if you’re prioritising better sleep, insulation, sound softening, and a cosy overall look. They’re ideal for rooms that are exposed to bright streetlights or early morning sun, or for households with light sleepers and shift-working parents.

Choosing neutral nursery blockout curtains creates the perfect blank canvas for you to add in colourful wallpaper, wall decals, or accessories without overwhelming the room.

Pair sheers with blockouts for the best of both worlds

This combination offers flexibility for both day and night: sheer curtains provide filtered daylight and privacy during the day, while blockout curtains deliver darkness for naps and bedtime.

This pairing works particularly well for front-facing rooms, overlooked windows, or spaces that need natural light without glare. For styling, soft whites keep the room light and airy, while textured or earthy tones create a warmer, more grounded feel. Both options transition easily as your child grows and their room evolves into a more “grown-up” space.
