A Guide to Kids Curtains

Decorate your child's room with kids curtains from West Elm. The selection contains kids' room and nursery curtains in an array of styles and colors to suit any space. There are sheer curtains and blackout drapes that can be hung on their own or layered together.

Types of Kids Curtains

There are all kinds of nursery curtains and kids' window treatments from which to choose. They come in a variety of materials, including luxurious Belgian flax linen. This fabric provides opaque coverage that blocks most light from entering the room. If you need more coverage, you can use these drapes with a window shade or blinds.

You'll also find sheer Belgian flax linen curtains, along with linen/cotton blend curtains. This type of fabric provides many of the same benefits as Belgian flax linen, with the lightweight softness of cotton. These curtains block some light from entering; for maximum light-blocking, order them with a blackout liner. They come in classic colors that work for any nursery and are available in different sizes to suit most windows.

A set of two cotton canvas curtains is another option for your child's room. Cotton canvas is soft, durable and machine-washable for easy cleaning. These curtains come in a variety of solid colors and prints to coordinate with the decor. Like the other curtains at West Elm, cotton canvas curtains come in different lengths, ranging from 84 inches to 108 inches.

Other curtain options include cotton luster velvet, which has a luxe look and feel and comes in an array of shades and hues. There's also jacquard curtains with a lustrous look; choose from prints and patterns including ripple and bark texture. They can be ordered unlined or with a sewn-in blackout liner for opacity.

As mentioned, the selection also contains shades in different styles that can go underneath the curtains. West Elm also has all the hardware and accessories you need for hanging window treatments, including brackets, rods and finials.

Creating a Coordinated Style

It's easy to create a coordinated style with kids curtains and an accent rug. You can match a solid rug to the curtains or go for a printed rug that features the curtain color. There are decorative wall hangings in a variety of colors and themes to tie the look together. West Elm also has all the furniture you need for your nursery or kids' bedroom. There are cribs, beds and dressers in a wide variety of modern styles, including mid-century modern.
