What Blinds Are Best for Your Baby’s Nursery?
When it comes to designing your baby's nursery, few things are more important than ensuring it’s safe, comfortable, and sleep-friendly. Choosing the right window coverings is one of the most overlooked, yet crucial, elements. The best nursery blinds block out light for daytime naps and help with temperature control and privacy while maintaining a soft, calming aesthetic.
Here’s our guide to the best blinds for your baby’s room and why they’re the smart choice for growing families.
Why the Right Blinds Matter in a Nursery
Babies and toddlers are highly sensitive to light and temperature. An overly bright or chilly room can make it challenging for them to settle for naps or bedtime. That's why well-chosen blinds can make a big difference—not only for your baby's comfort but also for your peace of mind.
Key things to consider:
Light control – for better sleep at any time of day
Thermal insulation – to help regulate room temperature
Safety – cordless or motorised options are ideal
Style – to match the calming, beautiful aesthetic of the space
Our Top Blind Options for Nurseries
Blockout Roller Blinds
Blockout blinds are a nursery essential. Their thick, light-blocking fabric makes the room as dark as possible, perfect for sleep time. They also help keep the heat out in summer and trap warmth in winter.
Why parents love them:
Complete light control
Simple and stylish
Available in a range of colours to match any nursery theme
Double Roller Blinds
Double rollers combine a sheer blind with a blockout blind in one system, giving you complete control over privacy and light.
Pros:
Use the sheer during the day for soft light
Switch to blockout for naps or bedtime
Modern and practical
