The curtains should be practical, because the child loves to leave traces of its turbulent activity not only on the wall, so they should easily be removed and stitched.
In addition, it is necessary to consider:
- theme and color range of the room;
- What a child likes, favorite heroes;
- coloring bedspread, pillows;

- Curtains should create an atmosphere for sleeping baby;
- Age features (the decor of the teenager windows will differ from the room of a small child).
