Which curtains should you choose for a child's bedroom?
Since your little one will spend every night (or almost every night) there, decorating their bedroom shouldn’t be taken lightly. Curtains, beyond their decorative aspect, play a key role in the quality of sleep. But which curtains should you choose for a child’s bedroom? Embrin is here to help.
Did you know? Embrin, a family-run business from Normandy, offers a whole range of washed linen curtains, ideal for children’s bedrooms. If you wish, you can also opt for made-to-measure curtains, so they fit your little one’s room perfectly.
What colour should you choose for children’s curtains?
Naturally, the colour of curtains in a child’s bedroom should blend well with the room’s décor. If the walls are white, choose a lively shade to create a lovely contrast. Perhaps curry yellow curtains, fig or ocean might be just right? If, on the other hand, your little one’s room is already colourful, neutral-coloured curtains will be more discreet and help avoid overloading the space.
The child’s preferences should also be considered when choosing curtains for their bedroom. Since this is the cocoon where they’ll spend every night, it’s important they feel comfortable there. You can ask your child’s opinion: find out their favourite colour or let them choose between two curtain styles.
Which lining should you choose for children’s curtains?
It is very important to get a good night’s sleep, especially for children, as sleep is essential for healthy development. While a good night’s sleep is prepared throughout the day (no screens in the evening, regular mealtimes, etc.), it’s also important to ensure your child’s bedroom is ideally shielded from all sources of light.
For this, we recommend choosing a blackout lining for children’s bedroom curtains. If you live in a town or city, it will help block out street lighting, which can disturb sleep. It also allows your child to sleep well even if it’s not completely dark outside. Blackout curtains also act as thermal regulators. This way, your child’s night will be more restful, and they’ll wake up feeling refreshed.
Washed linen: the whole family’s ally
Linen is the ideal fabric for children’s bedroom curtains. The very structure of its fibres helps prevent allergens from clinging to it. Dust, mites… your child can enjoy a peaceful sleep, while reducing the risk of developing allergies.
Linen is a thermoregulating fibre that keeps your child’s room cool in summer and warm in winter. This means you can save on heating and ensure your child’s room is always at the right temperature.
Finally, linen offers remarkable longevity. The fibres that make up this fabric are among the most durable in the plant world. Over the years and through many washes, your linen curtains retain their beautiful colour, do not fray, and keep their appearance.
