Choose The Best Children’s Bedroom Blinds

Choose The Best Children’s Bedroom Blinds

The right blinds in your child’s room can be a tricky decision to make. Without the right plan, it can be difficult to arrive at a solution that will put a smile on your child’s face. Luckily, you can find blinds that will suit you and your family’s needs. Blinds for kids should be safe and easy to use, while looking stylish and connecting with your child’s imagination.

Blackout blinds are ideal for kids’ rooms. Blinds of this nature stop light from coming in. This helps your little ones sleep at night for long periods. Children who have problems sleeping at night would benefit from this, making it an ideal blind for your child’s bedroom. Blackout blinds are popular in a roller or perfect fit style as they cover the whole window. They are easy to install and safe for chidlren too.

Another good choice would be roller blinds. Roller blinds are a staple in the blinds industry and complement many types of rooms. They are available in many colours and bring a simple look to a room. Personalise your blinds with a print of your child’s favourite movie or book hero, or get the family pet printed on the blind – the possibilities are endless. Roller blinds let your children be creative in their room and turn it into a room they enjoy being in. If your child is into dinosaurs but also a football fan, why not customise your blinds to have one row of dinosaurs and the other row of their favourite football team? Roller blinds are a popular design and are easy to install and operate. Roller blinds are good as they are child safe when installed properly. The privacy with roller blinds is a feature as they block out the outside world from seeing into your room. It protects your children from outsiders looking in, giving your family the privacy and comfort you desire. As an added bonus, roller blinds are also one of the easiest blinds to clean.

Roman blinds are a premium and appealing option for children’s rooms that give a more mature look. The rich history of roman blinds ensures a classic look that will last for years. Their soft surface makes them stylish and soft to touch. They are also easy to personalise to your taste, coming in patterns and colours to match any room. Roman blinds are still very easy to use, especially when accredited with the BBSA and the ‘Make it safe’ scheme. Privacy is also great because you can control how much light enters the room. These features allow Roman blinds to be child safe and ideal for children’s rooms. Roman blinds are easily accessible and best when manufactured by a local specialist.

When looking at blinds for kids, ensure they are safe. A good way of ensuring this is the case is by the BBSA-accredited scheme. They make sure that child-appropriate safety devices are in the product. These devices include cordless designs, chain tension mechanisms to pull the cord out of children’s reach, breakaway clips and more. You should have these features in the blinds. However, most importantly, make sure the blinds are correctly installed! Blind cords can easily wrap around kids’ necks and cause serious accidents when not manufactured the correct way.

Colourful blinds in a child’s room add a great feature to the bedroom! They allow them to express themselves to the fullest. Blinds in kids’ rooms should be creative, bright, and long-lasting. The best window dressings reflect the personality and choices of your child. Blackout blinds are great for sleep and give them energy for the next day. However, having a creative pattern and design will make the room come to life! Talk to your children regarding the type of blind they want and work with a local specialist to get the perfect blind installed and fitted the right way.

Custom Branded Roller Blinds for Bradley Hall’s Grey Street HQ

Client: Bradley Hall
Location: Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Commercial Property
Scope: Custom Branded and Non-Branded Roller Blinds Across Two Floors
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time, Within 2 Weeks

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install a combination of branded and non-branded roller blinds for Bradley Hall’s stunning new head office on Newcastle’s iconic Grey Street. The blinds not only enhance the aesthetic of the new space, but also provide practical year-round comfort.


What the Client Needed

As the building is listed, Bradley Hall were unable to use external signage to display their brand identity. They needed an interior solution that would subtly represent their brand in a stylish, professional way, while still providing effective solar shading and heat retention.


The Challenge

  • No external signage permitted due to the heritage status of the building.
  • No parking for unloading equipment.
  • 4-metre-high windows requiring specialist ladder access.
  • Narrow spiral staircases, making it difficult to manoeuvre materials without damaging freshly decorated walls and doors.

The client also required a rapid turnaround ahead of moving into their new space.


How We Overcame It

Our team designed and manufactured a blend of branded and non-branded roller blinds, ensuring a cohesive look across two floors. The installation required exceptional care and expertise to work safely within the constraints of a heritage building.

Despite the logistical hurdles, we delivered the entire project from initial enquiry to completion in under 2 weeks, meeting Bradley Hall’s deadlines without compromising on quality.


The Result

The finished installation delivered:

  • Stylish integration of Bradley Hall’s branding into the new office.
  • Effective shading and thermal control for year-round comfort.
  • Seamless delivery within a limited timeframe.
  • A high-quality installation, despite the challenges of restricted access and building constraints.

Client Feedback

“Huge thanks to you and the team Kevin! Fantastic service from start to finish, quick turnaround and quality product and installation. They look great!”

– Sharon Boyd, Chief Operating Officer, Bradley Hall North East / Yorkshire


The Bigger Picture

This project demonstrates our ability to combine branding, design, and practicality, even in heritage or conservation-area buildings where signage is restricted. It also underlines our expertise in overcoming complex site challenges and delivering under tight time pressures.

40 Custom Tension Pleated Blinds for Newcastle Airport Control Tower

Client: Newcastle International Airport
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Aviation – Air Traffic Control
Scope: 40 Bespoke Tension Pleated Blinds
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install 40 custom tension pleated blinds for Newcastle International Airport’s Air Traffic Control Tower. This wasn’t a straightforward job – the tower’s unique architecture and operational restrictions made it one of the most complex installations we’ve ever delivered.


What the Client Needed

The brief was simple but critical: shading and light control in an environment where visibility is paramount. The blinds needed to perform flawlessly to reduce glare, enhance comfort, and maintain clear sightlines for air traffic controllers at all times.


The Challenge

The tower’s design created a unique technical challenge: the windows are narrower at the top than the bottom. This meant the blinds had to operate in reverse, raising issues with tension and stability. Getting them to stay in place was no small feat.


How We Overcame It

Our team engineered a bespoke solution using:

  • Maximum tension throughout each blind system
  • Reinforced top bars for durability
  • Discreet magnetic strips to keep blinds secure

We worked closely with the client throughout, being completely transparent about the technical hurdles. To build confidence, we produced working samples that were tested and signed off before full manufacture began.


Working in a Live Air Traffic Control Tower

This wasn’t just a technical project – it was also about precision planning. Working in one of the UK’s busiest control towers meant strict security measures:

  • All staff were vetted and security checked
  • Passports had to be presented at each entry
  • Access was tightly restricted and visits limited

To meet these requirements, we planned every step of the installation around an agreed programme of works, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and minimal disruption to airport operations.


The Result

The new blinds have transformed the tower environment, delivering:

✅ Glare reduction
✅ Improved visibility for controllers
✅ Greater comfort in a high-pressure workplace

The client praised not only the quality of the finished product but also our communication, professionalism, and how smoothly the installation was managed.


The Bigger Picture

This project highlights our ability to deliver bespoke blind solutions for even the most complex environments. From innovative design to meticulous project management, we can adapt to buildings where standard systems simply won’t work.


Ready for the Next One

If you’ve got a project that demands a tailored shading solution – whether it’s an airport, a commercial office, or a uniquely shaped building – we’ve got the expertise to deliver.

Get in touch with our team today to discuss how we can design, manufacture, and install blinds that meet your exact requirements.
