Blackout blinds for healthy kids

School can be tiring so helping your little ones enjoy a good night’s sleep is of paramount importance. External light entering a space has one of the worst effects of sleep quality, waking people of all ages, and interrupting the rejuvenating power of sleep. By using a blackout material however, you can keep light to a minimum in a space – and reduce noise pollution too – helping your child to sleep well and keep them healthy. When refreshed and ready to go, your little one will be able to ace it at school! 

You can find specialist blackout materials in our range of children’s roller blinds by clicking the “Blackout” option under the “Opacity” filter on the left hand side of the page. If however you’re looking to decorate your child’s room with a Roman blind or curtain, you can add a free blackout lining to any of the quality fabrics available on the website! For maximum effect, layer your window with a Roman or roller blind inside the recess, and a curtain outside it. Moreover, you can rest assured that whatever window furnishing you pick, your child will be kept safe with every order arriving with the requisite child safety devices. 

Colours to help homework

Beyond the patterns and blackout options, the final area to consider for your child going back to school is colour. Colours are well known to help encourage different emotions from energising oranges to studious blues.

To help make your child’s bedroom or study space as beneficial as possible, look to add shades of natural green to promote positivity, cool shades of blue to encourage a feeling of calm and serenity and pops of orange to add some energy into the space. To learn more about the power of colour in interior design, check out our Positive Colours blog.
