Curtains or blinds for nursery?

[suziedoozy]

I currently have wooden blinds in the new nursery which is east facing.

I was thinking about putting black out blinds over the top but they are quite expensive & would need to stay there a long time to make worthwhile.

Would decent black out curtains work and be cheaper?

I don’t really want the baby waking up super early in summer!

Do you have any recommendations for where to buy from? I’m thinking something like grey with stars.... neutral & not too babyish.

Am contemplating repainting the room too.

Thanks 😊

I have a blackout blind and blackout curtains 😂

Sure the blind wasn’t too expensive. I think it was from blinds direct or something like that. The curtains were from John Lewis but I did notice some nice very reasonable blackouts in dunelm the other day

I’d go with curtains, the blind pull thingies freak me out in a child’s room.

That being said I have black out curtains and a gro blind up during the summer

This was the blind we got: we have them in 3 rooms. Very good quality and value imo. We have huge windows and they were about £50. This is what I have in the nursery:

In dds room we have the deep purple and being darker it reflects less light around the edges so deffo makes it a bit darker

Ps they come with a safety thing for the pull thingy ☝️

Thank you very much for your suggestions - going to Dunelm Mill tomorrow the probably Next to have a good look 👍👍
