When you’re trying to get your baby to sleep through the night, the last thing that you want is for the first rays of dawn to come through the window and wake up your infant just as they fall asleep. Alongside a sound machine, getting the right nursery blinds can help your baby fall asleep and stay asleep. So what are the best nursery window treatments?

To create the perfect nursery, you’ll want window treatments that go with the color and aesthetic of the rest of your room decor. However, even more important than looks is the blind’s ability to block out the light. That’s why Factory Direct Blinds recommends trying blackout shades for nursery, which will provide the most amount of light and contribute the most to baby sleeps. In fact, you might love them so much that you decide to get some blackout blinds for your bedroom as well!

If you live in a very dark area that doesn’t get a lot of ambient light, then you might want to explore other Factory Direct Blinds window treatments that aren’t blackout. You might also want to layer your window treatments. For instance, pairing a blackout shade with a light filtering one so you can have privacy and natural light while nursing or changing the baby.
