Without a doubt, removing cords from a window treatment is the easiest way to introduce kid friendly options in to your home. By removing the cords you remove the temptation of playing with cords from kids and pets.

Instead, cordless options are neat and modern and if you opt for motorization you can make your living spaces feel futuristic and new by adding these ultra convenient treatments to your space. 

Kids love playing with remotes and feeling like they are helping and with motorized treatments you get both. You will find your kids want to help when the sun becomes a nuisance.

Non-motorized blinds have a tension spring built into the window covering that allows you to pull the blind up and down with ease.

Other cordless options, like motorized shades, work using an app or a remote control. Automating your homes window treatments is a great options for homes with kids.
