If you want to create a safe home environment for you pets and children, it’s important to consider your window coverings. While they may seem harmless, traditional blinds can create hazards for curious kids and mischievous fur friends. Thankfully, with the right blinds you can strike the perfect balance between safety and style and reduce risk to your children and pets.
One of the biggest dangers associated with conventional blinds is the presence of cords, which can pose a strangulation hazard for both pets and children. That’s why safety experts recommend using cordless blinds and window coverings in homes where young children or pets are present. If you want a safer option, look for blinds which have cordless or motorised operation.
Children and pets can put a lot of strain on your window coverings which is why you should choose blinds that are durable and long-lasting. Look for designs that are scratch-resistant, stain-resistant and easy to clean. Fabrics that are moisture-resistant or antimicrobial can be particularly beneficial in homes prone to spills and accidents. This will ensure that your blinds remain fresh and functional for years to come.
By investing in child and pet-friendly blinds, you can create a safe and comfortable space for the entire family.
