Day curtains, night curtains, blackout curtains - the choice is huge. We explain which curtains are best suited to which room and how to find the perfect curtain for every room.
Which curtain for the baby and children's room?
The darker it is, the easier it is for babies and children to fall asleep and stay asleep: darkness promotes the release of the sleep hormone melatonin. The best curtains for babies' and children's rooms are therefore blackout curtains. They make it possible to create a dark and sleep-promoting environment even when it is light outside. You will find various solutions for babies' and children's rooms in our range:
Blackout curtains for better sleep
- Blackout curtains for children's rooms: they darken the room and ensure a better night's sleep. They also help to keep out the cold in winter and the heat in summer. The blackout curtains in our children's room range with child-friendly designs offer a blackout level of 65 to 80 percent.
- Completely light-proof curtains: The up to 100 percent light-proof curtains do not allow any rays of light to pass through and create complete darkness, no matter how bright it is outside. Incidentally, the curtains do not have to be black for this: Thanks to special layers of fabric, they are also available in child-friendly colors such as yellow, blue or red. Do you have special dimensions in the children's or baby's bedroom? No problem. Our made-to-measure blackout curtains can be customized.
- Optimized light protection thanks to integrated sliders: With conventional curtains, there is often a gap between the curtain track and the curtain, through which disturbing light enters the room. To offer even more light protection, we at vorhangschweiz.ch have developed blackout curtains with integrated gliders: The gliders are sewn directly into the light-blocking curtain and enable better contact between the curtain and the track. This achieves almost seamless blackout. You can select this option for every made-to-measure blackout curtain in our configurator.
Beautiful, colorful and playful curtains for the children's room
What's popular with your child right now: Astronauts? Animals? Stars? Football? In addition to our blackout curtains, you will find many other children's curtains in our range with a variety of patterns and motifs that turn children's rooms into a place full of life, play, creativity and imagination and make children's eyes light up.
- Night curtains for children's rooms: Decorative night curtains protect children from prying eyes during the day and at night. They have less of a darkening effect than blackout curtains.
- Day curtains for the children's room: Day curtains provide privacy, protect against strong sunlight and make the children's room cheerful and homely. They are much thinner than blackout and night curtains and allow a pleasant amount of light into the room.
- Fluorescent curtains: Older children in particular love it when the room lights up and sparkles at night - and they often no longer need complete darkness in the room. With our light-up curtains, you can create a magical atmosphere in your child's room.
Our tip: Innovative travel curtains for relaxing vacations with children
- In many hotels and vacation apartments, the curtains leave a lot to be desired: they are too thin, too short, too narrow. During the day it remains bright, at night the room is illuminated by the neighboring hotel or the street lamp. It is suddenly difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep, especially for children. Rest? No chance! With our innovative "Monroe" travel curtain (available from the beginning of 2024), you can easily and completely darken your bedroom at any time of day or night, even when you're on vacation. Thanks to its compact size and light weight, it's easy to take with you wherever you go.
Which is the right curtain for the bedroom?
The following also applies to adults: the darker and quieter it is in the bedroom, the more restful your sleep tends to be. That's why it's best to choose a blackout curtain for the bedroom: these curtains darken the room and also keep out the cold or heat from outside, creating a comfortable sleeping environment at all times. In our range, you will find a large selection of beautiful, high-quality blackout curtains made to measure or as ready-made curtains in stylish colors.
Our completely light-proof curtains are particularly effective: as they are made of special layers of fabric, they are up to 100 percent light-proof. Whether in daylight, under a full moon or next to street lamps - they create complete darkness, no matter how bright it is outside. So if you have to sleep during the day due to night work or are sensitive to light while you sleep, we recommend one of our lightproof curtains.
- Curtains with noise protection: Is it loud in your bedroom? Then take a look at our blackout curtains with integrated noise protection.
- Thermal curtains: A thermal curtain is the perfect choice for colder days in winter thanks to its heat-insulating properties to improve the thermal insulation of a room. You can find our thermal curtains with blackout function here.
Classic night curtains, on the other hand, are less suitable for the bedroom: Although they are also opaque, they let in more light. They are therefore better used in rooms where you want to be protected from prying eyes but still let some light in.
The perfect curtain for your living room
The living room is usually the heart of the house or apartment. Here, not only the functionality of the curtains plays an important role, but also aesthetics and style. Consider the following points:
- Function: for what purpose do you want to use the curtain?
- If the curtain is to protect you from prying eyes during the day and in the evening, it is best to choose a night curtain or an in-between curtain: with both, it is no longer possible to see into the living room, but they do let some light through.
- If you want the curtain to let in a lot of light and brightness, choose a day curtain. Day curtains are made of light, often semi-transparent fabrics and give the room an airy atmosphere. They protect against strong sunlight, but only to a limited extent from outside views.
- Do you regularly use your living room as a home theater? Then we recommend a blackout curtain.
- Length: The length of the curtains depends on your personal preferences and the style of your window. Floor-length curtains often create an elegant look.
- Color, pattern and fabric choice: What color and style suits you and your decor? If you want to create interesting accents with your curtain, it is best to choose a special color or a patterned fabric. Heavy fabrics such as velvet give the room a luxurious look. Clean lines and neutral colors, on the other hand, give the room a sense of calm and suit a more modern interior. You can find our versatile selection of curtains for every style and every living room here.
The right curtains for the kitchen
The kitchen places different demands on its curtains than other rooms, as practical aspects are also important in addition to aesthetic ones. That's why we have a separate range for kitchen curtains. Here's what you need to consider when choosing:
- Removable and washable: Odors, fumes, cooking splashes - not uncommon in the kitchen. It is therefore important that the curtains can be removed and washed quickly and easily. You can find out the best way to wash curtains in our blog article.
- Short curtains: Choose short curtains for the kitchen that are not too close to the oven, hob or sink. This way, they are less likely to get in your way when you are cooking, less likely to get dirty and there is less risk of the fabric catching fire, for example.
- Light fabrics, light colors: Light fabrics and bright colors that let in a lot of light are recommended for the kitchen. At the same time, the kitchen is also a lively room where you can easily try out creative shapes and patterns.
