Nursery Curtains
An introduction to nursery curtains
Nurseries are special spaces where your little ones play, nap, and grow—so choosing the right curtains is key to creating a cosy, functional environment. At Blinds Direct, we offer both made to measure and ready made nursery curtains to suit every need. From thermal blackout lining that support better sleep and reduce noise, to cheerful prints and playful colours that brighten the room, our curtains are designed to be as practical as they are charming.
The best nursery curtains
At Blinds Direct we have a range of exciting colours, patterns, and finishes that children will simply adore! Our broad selection of fabrics and designs allows you to find the perfect nursery curtain. From energising and inspiring colours to fun prints, we'll have the perfect addition for your child's nursery.
Jungle curtains
Jungle print curtains are a fabulous way of adding engaging colours and patterns to a nursery. The bold leaf prints and exotic animals bring in a fun twist, making the space a more enjoyable, exciting area to spend time with your young one. Ideal for neutral shade nurseries, these bold patterned fabrics will add depth and warmth to the space.
Picture curtains
Picture curtains are a popular choice for nurseries as they come in a variety of prints from set scenes to animals. Picture curtains work with most interior styles as their diversity within the colourways help bring new colours and shapes into the scheme while still working with the existing décor. For an extra fun touch, consider pairing with a matching lamp shade to really enhance the space.
Neutral nursery curtains
Neutral shades create warming environments which are perfect for nurseries. Whether you go for an off-white shade or a sandy tone, neutral colours will aid in keeping the space calming while adding a warming energy to the room. With a range of patterns and shades to select from, curating the perfect neutral toned nursery curtain has never been smoother. Neutral tones are particularly handy for decorating the nursery before your child is born, especially if you're waiting for a surprise when they arrive!

Nursery curtains need to meet a range of practical benefits, from reducing light to maintaining heat. Choosing the correct lining can enhance your nursery curtain, meeting your need to ensure your child has a great night sleep or down time. At Blinds Direct we offer the following free linings:
Thermal Blackout Lining for Nursery Curtains
A peaceful night’s sleep is vital for your baby’s development—and the right curtains can help create the ideal nursery environment. thermal blackout lining is an excellent choice for nurseries, combining effective light blocking, temperature control, and noise reduction to support better sleep for babies and toddlers alike. By keeping the space dark and quiet, and maintaining a comfortable temperature year-round, these linings help make nap times and bedtimes more restful.
At Blinds Direct, all of our made to measure nursery curtains include a free thermal blackout lining upgrade, and many of our ready made styles also come pre-lined—giving you both convenience and comfort in one smart solution.

Faqs for nursery curtains
How soon should I install curtains in a nursery??
It’s a good idea to install curtains before your baby arrives so the room is calm, cosy, and sleep-ready from day one. Made to measure nursery curtains offer full customisation, so ordering a few weeks in advance is ideal. If you're short on time, our ready made curtains provide a quick and easy solution without compromising on comfort or quality.
Are long curtains safe in a nursery?
Safety is always a top priority—especially in spaces for babies and toddlers. While long curtains can add a soft, elegant look to the nursery, they should be positioned carefully and kept out of reach of little hands. At Blinds Direct, all of our curtains are free from cords or chains, and if you’re pairing them with blinds, every blind is supplied with a compliant child safety device. You can find more safety guidance on our website.
What curtain lengths are best for nurseries?
Sill-length or slightly below is often ideal for nurseries to avoid trailing fabric that little ones can tug on. However, if you prefer full-length curtains, they can be safely used if positioned out of reach. Both made to measure and ready made curtains are available in a variety of lengths to suit your layout and safety needs.
What kind of curtains are best for a nursery?
The best nursery curtains combine comfort, safety, and visual appeal. Soft, durable fabrics with playful prints or calming tones work well to create a comforting atmosphere for babies and toddlers. Whether you opt for made to measure curtains with customised fabrics and headings, or choose from our ready made nursery range for quicker updates, both options are available in child-friendly styles designed to suit every stage of development.
Are blackout curtains necessary for a nursery?
Blackout curtains are highly recommended for nurseries, especially if your baby or toddler naps during the day. They block out unwanted light to support longer, deeper sleep—helping with routine and overall development. At Blinds Direct, all made to measure nursery curtains include a free thermal blackout lining upgrade, and many of our ready made options feature this lining too. You can learn more about linings in our Curtain Lining Guide.
What colours or prints work well in a nursery?
Soft pastels, soothing neutrals, or fun prints like animals, stars, or nature themes are all great for nursery decor. Our made to measure range offers endless fabric choices, while our ready made nursery curtains feature curated fabrics that are soft and calming—perfect for babies and toddlers alike.
