Nursery curtain not suitable?

[nasiisthebest]

May I have your opinions please? I'm pregnant and we're looking at curtains for the nursery. I showed my (very lovely) MIL a picture yesterday of a curtain that we're thinking of ordering and she said that it wasn't suitable for a baby. She felt it was for an older child. We love it but now I'm unsure if I'm missing something. May I have your opinions please?

@nasiisthebest The material is beautiful, but the most important thing is to get them made with blackout lining AND a blackout blind behind them!

Thank you. That was always the plan, it's quite a light room and really needs it.

I had thick cotton nursery rhyme curtains. I remember that they tasted very nice.

you win the thread I think

I think that your curtains are lovely, but I can also remember on hot summer evenings when it was light and I had been put to bed, suckling on my curtains. There was one corner, bottom right, that was perpetually screwed up and soggy :)

We didn't go for babyish stuff in our kids' rooms. They have brightly coloured walls and navy curtains with animal designs in the weave. This has the advantage that neither of them has grown out of their rooms and wanted to redecorate... They are now early 20's

I want those curtains!!!

That does sound very nice as well. I'd like that.

I don't think they're in the UK though. Might be worth emailing them to see if they'll send a swatch. Or you might want to plan a weekend to Amsterdam... (don't if you're scared of a Corona increase or can't afford to quarantine when you get back, it's increasing really quickly at the moment in that city).

Thank you .
I had been googling and only found the Dutch link !

I will do further research .

I think they’re rather sweet. We didn’t really have a nursery as such, just a bedroom where the child slept from about nine months. We waited until they were a bit older to make it more of their choice but even then just had ‘ordinary’ curtains that were there already.

How very odd. Not suitable how?? It's not like they're covered in penises or severed heads...

Avoid pink pink pink.
In our house, one chose dark blue & the other green - for now, choose something you like.

The only thing that matters is that you have blackout linings. Trust me on this.
The pattern is lovely!

Let's face it, nursery decor is for the parent, not the baby. Babies don't care about curtains.
