nursery curtains?

tlxh7 · January 2011

Where are you getting the curtains for your nursery? I'm really struggling with this! We're doing a green theme - more adult, not baby-themed at all. I want to find curtains before we paint (to make sure the colors work together), but can't find anything I like! I think the biggest problem is that one of our windows is actually a double, so we need wide curtains (71"+) for that window. Any tips?

We just got the curtains to match our bedding. But in the past we have had wonderful experiences using JC Penneys. The price has been great (and they have a lot of sales) and the quality has been awesome. I think every room in our house other than the nursery has curtains from JCP.

I couldn't find squat for my windows. We're doing an aquarium theme, and while it IS more baby oriented, all i could find were valances.

I have a 65" tall window... valance only looks silly, even with our wood slat blinds.

I had to resort to pulling out ye old sewing machine and finding a material I found suitable to the theme from the craft store.

You may have better luck if you're going for a more mature theme, but you're probably going to pay quite a bit for it as well.

I am making mine because I couldn't find any I loved so I may not be a lot of help but what kind of look are you going for? Do you want long curtains, a valance across the time, shades to block out light?

We bought super cute ones from Ikea for DD.

We are doing a valance for DS that matches his sailboat bedding.

We are getting ours from Pottery Barn Kids. They have super cute colors!

I ordered mine from Target. I didn't want to go very "kid" with the drapes either. I'm sure they have different size options, but JC Penney does have a big custom selection and buy from the rack like a PP said.

I didn't want a babyish room either so we did a bunch of mix and match stuff. What I did was went to JoAnn's Fabrics and picked out my colors and made my curtains. I don't have any sewing skills but it wasn't hard at all.

Ikea is a great place for inexpensive curtains. If you don't like those, you can always buy fabric. Even if you don't sew, you can make them yourself. Hem them with Stich Witchery.

I'm having curtains made to coordinate with the bedding we're having made. No baby theme here, just fabrics. I did the same thing with DD and hers are still in her room almost four years later.

Im pretty jealous of the "curtain makers" i would love to make my own but i think i want to much.

My nursery is Navy and lime green and i would like long (room darkening) cutains in navy with a lime green stripe across them horizontally about 1/3 a way down. i may have to go to etsy and get them made or buy navy and somehow get the green fabric across them.

I want the green fabric to blend in with the green stripe I'm putting around his room.

You could make this pretty simply I think if you stick to panel curtains. You can use this as a guide but buy more fabric so it completely covers the width of your windows. The simplest way to attach the curtains to a pole is to buy the ring clips and just put them on whatever rod you choose. The stripe you want can be a wide ribbon attached with the same iron-on glue (or sewn on if you prefer) as your hems.
