What works best in a kids room.
The safest option for a child's room. Motorisation eliminates cords entirely and allows you to adjust the blind from outside the room without disturbing a sleeping child. A blockout fabric delivers the darkness needed for daytime naps and consistent sleep.
A cord-free alternative to motorisation. Spring-operated blinds are raised and lowered by gently pushing or pulling the bottom bar rather than operating a cord or chain.
A double roller lets you run a light-filtering blind during the day for a comfortable play environment and drop the blockout for sleep. A practical choice for children who use their room throughout the day as well as at night.
A popular choice for children's rooms in colder parts of NZ. Blockout honeycomb blinds combine full darkness with thermal insulation, keeping the room warmer overnight without the need for additional heating.

Cord safety in a child's room.
Exposed blind cords and chains are a recognised safety hazard for young children. For any room used by a child under the age of five, Russells recommends a cord-free operating system. Motorised, spring-operated, and cordless options are available across the range, and your consultant will not install a corded blind in a child's room without ensuring the right precautions are in place.

Choosing the right blinds for your home

Frequently asked questions
What blinds are safest for a child's room?
Motorised blinds are the safest option, as they eliminate exposed cords entirely. Spring-operated roller blinds are a cord-free alternative at a lower price point. If a chain-operated blind is used, a chain tensioner must be installed to keep the chain taut and out of reach. Your local consultant will advise on the safest system for each window in your child's room.
Do kids need blackout blinds?
For young children, yes. A dark sleep environment helps children fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and maintain consistent sleep patterns regardless of the season or time of day. In NZ, where summer evenings stay light until late, a well-fitted blockout blind can make a significant practical difference for families.
Are blind cords dangerous for children?
Yes. Loose blind cords and chains present a strangulation risk for young children. For rooms used by children under five, a cord-free operating system is strongly recommended. Your local consultant will not install a standard corded blind in a young child's room without discussing this risk directly.
What is a cordless blind for a child's room?
A cordless blind operates without an exposed cord or chain. Spring-operated roller blinds are the most common cordless option: the blind is raised and lowered by gently pushing or pulling the bottom bar. Motorised blinds are operated by remote, app, or smart-home system and are fully cord-free.
What are the best blinds for a nursery?
A motorised or spring-operated blockout roller blind is the most practical nursery choice. The blockout fabric supports daytime naps, and the cord-free operation means you can adjust the blind quietly without disturbing a sleeping baby. Your consultant will also advise on colours and fabrics that suit the nursery's interior.
Are double roller blinds good for a child's bedroom?
Yes, particularly for children who use their room during the day as well as for sleep. The light-filtering blind allows a comfortable daytime environment, while the blockout blind provides full darkness for sleep. Your local consultant will advise on a fabric combination that suits both uses.
How do I clean blinds in a kids room?
Roller blinds with a wipeable surface are the easiest to maintain in a child's room, as marks and fingerprints can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Your consultant will advise on the most practical fabric options for easy cleaning when you make your selection.
What blinds work in both a nursery and an older child's room?
A blockout roller blind in a neutral colour is the most adaptable choice. It delivers the darkness a baby needs for sleep and continues to suit the room as your child grows. Motorised operation adds safety and convenience at every age.
Can blinds be made child and pet safe?
Yes — there are a few easy ways. Any of our chain-controlled blinds can have a chain tensioner added for child and pet safety, at no extra cost. Prefer to do away with cords and chains completely? Motorising your blinds removes them altogether, and several of our ranges also come with a cordless option. Just tell your consultant it’s a priority and we’ll point you to the safest choice for your home.
