Top 7 Reasons to Choose Shutters in Your Kids’ Rooms

Top 7 Reasons to Choose Shutters in Your Kids’ Rooms -Wasatch ShutterInterior shutters are a popular design element that is not just practical; they can be considered a furnishing in and of themselves. Many people install interior shutters in the living areas and master suite but don’t use them in the kid’s rooms. Whether you’re decorating a nursery or a room for an older child, choosing shutters to cover the windows can be a great choice. Here are just a few of the reasons why.

Safety: New design regulations have made traditional window blinds safer, but the cords can still pose a safety risk to young children. Some people recommend not having the child’s bed near a window with blinds, others recommend skipping them altogether in a child’s room. Because interior shutters are not crafted with strings or cords, they do not have the same type of safety concerns.

Durability: There will be a point in your child’s development where he or she simply cannot, no matter how many reminders you give, keep their hands off their blinds. They will pull on the cords, twist and yank on the wand until it breaks off and becomes a weapon, try to remove the slats, and even hang from the blinds themselves. Interior shutters offer sturdier construction than blinds and can survive more of the abuse your kids will give them.

Cleaning: As we mentioned, your kids will not be able to keep their hands off of their window coverings. Interior shutters are easy to clean. Most dust and other loose debris can be easily vacuumed away and a damp cloth will take care of the rest. Quality shutters are crafted of materials that easily wipe clean while maintaining their original beauty.

Light control: Shutters are an excellent way to control the light coming into a room. You can completely open them away from the windows to offer a room full of sunshine for your kids to enjoy, and at nap time you can close them up completely to block a significant amount of light from the room. This is particularly handy when the kids are fighting about going to bed in the summer, while the sun is still up. Aside from these two extremes, the louvers can be adjusted to comfortably direct the light coming into the room.

Sound dampening: Interior shutters will help to reduce the amount of noise coming into the room from outside the home.

Curb appeal: Interior shutters can be seen through the windows from the exterior of your home. If you’re using them in other parts of your house, you’ll probably want them installed in the street-facing bedroom windows as well. This will give a more uniform look to the outside of your home.

Style: Interior shutters are available in a range of styles, materials, colors, and louvre sizes to meet the needs of virtually any decor and fit into a wide range of budget plans. Interior shutters are customized to your individual window, insuring that you will have a perfect fit.
