Choosing curtains for a nursery: material, fit and installation

Compare the selected curtain's material, light-blocking description and installation requirements. A darker room is a design preference; this guide does not promise a particular sleep duration or medical outcome.

1. Check the actual fabric and options

Linen-look does not necessarily mean linen fiber. Read the composition and choose only the lining options displayed for the product. Celeste offers 90–100% light blocking and currently has no separate lining option. Room darkness also depends on coverage and light gaps.

2. Understand certificate scope

Material documentation: Please request the current certificate and its scope for your selected material, color and configuration. A supplier-held material certificate does not automatically certify the entire finished curtain or every accessory. OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 concerns testing for harmful substances within the certified scope; it is not a fire-performance certificate, an allergy guarantee or permission for infant contact. See our documentation guide.

A nursery location alone does not establish a product's certification class. Ask for documentation that identifies the selected article/material and configuration rather than relying on a general collection statement.

3. Keep window coverings out of reach

Keep cribs, beds, furniture and toys away from windows and window-covering cords. Follow the installation instructions, secure the hardware properly, and keep curtain fabric and accessories out of a child's reach. For window-covering cord safety, see the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission guidance.

Chemical-testing certification does not make curtains suitable for chewing, draping over a crib, or contact with a sleeping baby's face.

4. Measure and maintain

Measure the rod or track and desired drop using the selected header's instructions. Allow appropriate coverage without introducing accessible loops or loose accessories. Follow the product's care label; do not assume every blackout fabric uses the same coating or care process.
