NURSERY WINDOW TREATMENTS
CREATIVE UNIQUE IDEAS

Attractive Nursery window treatments that will match our nursery themes and fit the windows properly are not always easy to find. We have a few tips and ideas that will make it so easy for you to find perfect draperies, curtains and valances for your baby's room! More often than not, matching baby room curtains are available in the same prints and pattern as your nursery bedding set. Once you have your crib set, check to see if the window treatments that match will fit the windows in your nursery.

Even if they have a set in the correct size, the design might not fit your room's decor. If you love the pattern and colors, buy several yards of coordinating fabric and make your own curtains or have a seamstress make your custom draperies according to your specifications.

SEW YOUR OWN QUICK and EASY VALANCES and PANELS

If you can't locate curtains, valances or baby nursery window treatments in the stores that will work with your nursery's decor, there's no need to go with blinds. Try your hand at sewing your own with some free online nursery curtain patterns that will give you measurement and sewing instructions. A simple set of pole top curtains is the perfect sewing project for a beginner. They will take only a few straight seams and you will quickly have perfect, custom draperies that will coordinate with your chosen decor.

GO BEYOND FABRIC
Window treatments traditionally consist of fabric sewn in various lengths and styles with some trim to finish the raw edges. Baby nursery curtains don't have to be made of solid panels of material to be successful.

Here are some creative nursery window treatment ideas

Convert a raffia hula skirt into a clever valance for an Hawaiian Nursery or a surfing theme room
Hang multi-colored bandanas across the top of the window frame for a cowboy or cowgirl themed room
Drape vines covered in green silk leaves over the windows in a jungle or rainforest theme nursery
Knot lengths of rope to use as a nursery window treatments for a pirate theme room. Use a tricorn pirate hat as a medallion in the center of the valance
Decorate a plain pair of white sheer curtains by attaching tiny ladybugs, dragonflies and butterflies (out of baby's reach of course)

There are so many ways to design darling draperies that match baby's nursery theme without paying for expensive designer fabrics. I love to take everyday items and turn them into the perfect nursery accessories for my clients. Many times I take ready made curtains and transform them into custom nursery window treatments with a few decorative sewing techniques.

NO SEW OPTIONS
Of course there are no-sew options, too! For instance, you can have a perfectly coordinated cowboy or cowgirl themed room valance for the price of about $10 or less! Go to your local discount store and buy some bright bandanas (you know the kind the cowpokes always wear in the old westerns) in whatever color you prefer. Glue or staple them "hankerchief hem" style to a cheap, prefab cornice board. You can use the same technique for the grass skirt idea that I mentioned a minute ago.

With just a little planning your baby's nursery decor, baby bedding, window treatments and accessories can be everything you ever dreamed and much more.
