I don't think it makes a difference in the early months, but it definitely helps LO settle down and sleep for naps and at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-curtains-or-both#post-127699 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 06:43:11 +0000 looch 127699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, because they're blackout curtains. We can't install blinds in these type of windows, so we had no other option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-curtains-or-both#post-124873 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:18:52 +0000 Andrea 124873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both. The curtains are just for looks though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-curtains-or-both#post-124845 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:03:38 +0000 aMohror 124845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We already have nice wooden blinds in her one window so we are just adding the valence that matches her bedding. We don't have curtains in any of our other windows so I figured we would just keep the blinds :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-curtains-or-both#post-124784 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:45:20 +0000 Mrs. Bee 124784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>had both in charlie's room to make the window look nicer. in olive's room we only have blackout curtains, though the blackout shades did a better job of blocking light than the curtains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-curtains-or-both#post-124779 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:43:38 +0000 winniebee 124779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have wooden blinds in the baby's room (already were there). We're putting curtains up too - the room is a tan color and furniture is brown and we wanted curtains to break up the colors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-curtains-or-both#post-124745 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:19:41 +0000 Goldilocks1107 124745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll probably have both - the nursery window faces west, so it will get a lot of late afternoon/early evening light making it tough to get the room dark for naps/night time. If it faced east, I probably wouldn't care as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-curtains-or-both#post-124742 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:17:51 +0000 mrsjyw 124742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have blackout blinds and there's valances for curtains that I will most likely add, just for aesthetic purposes.

I will probably add curtains but only for look, not for function. They will probably stay pulled back most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-curtains-or-both#post-124721 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:00:43 +0000 Mrsbells 124721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>currently the nursery is one side of our bedroom and we have blinds and curtains as well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-curtains-or-both#post-124717 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:58:38 +0000 heffalump 124717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you need them. We have ugly blackout blinds, so we have pretty curtains over them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blinds-curtains-or-both#post-124714 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:57:49 +0000 mediagirl 124714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We currently have blinds on our nursery window (there's just one in the room). I have a valence I'll be putting up on top of the window. Do we need curtains, as well? </p> <p>Were curtains necessities in your nursery? </p>
