It is very pleasant to wake up in the morning from the warm rays of sunlight, but quite often the early dawn takes away the most cherished hours and minutes of sleep. As a result, a person wakes up broken, not rested and cannot collect his thoughts all day. This is especially noticeable in children, for whom it is extremely important to create optimal conditions for rest and healthy sleep all year round and regardless of the weather. After all, it is not for nothing that they say that healthy sleep is a guarantee of health. Excess light in the morning and during the afternoon rest can negatively affect the quality of sleep, drain energy, and reduce the performance of physical and mental strength. To address this challenge, Disney and VELUX have jointly developed a new collection of blackout curtains that provide the level of illumination the owner needs, from soft diffused sunlight to complete darkness in the room.
The new Disney & VELUX Fabulous collection is specially designed for children. A number of curtains have been created for children's rooms - and each model has its own unique design. On the bright canvas of blackout curtains, you can see all the variety of famous Disney characters. Here you can find funny little mouse Mickey Mouse with his friend Minnie Mouse, and kind deer Bambi, and the familiar bear Winnie the Pooh, and Princesses, and Airplanes. In total, six themes have been selected, for each two design solutions have been invented: one is brighter, the second is calm and restrained. In total, the collection includes 12 original fairy-tale designs, from which you can choose not only your favorite cartoon character, but also choose the color scheme necessary for decorating your bedroom. The design takes into account a variety of stylistic preferences, offering the necessary options both for connoisseurs of bold colors and bright solutions, and for delicate people who prefer elegant and discreet things.
Dan Dossa, deputy head of retail at The Walt Disney Company Nordic, explains:
“Disney & VELUX presented a fabulous collection featuring the most beloved cartoon characters with their fun adventures and friendliness. These characters are popular with children and adults of all ages. This way the whole family can enjoy the new curtains. We're thrilled to see Disney characters come to life in this one-of-a-kind collection."
The collection was created specifically for the windows of VELUX - the world's largest manufacturer of roof windows, accessories to them and related roofing equipment - taking into account their parameters, peculiarities of location in the attic floors and inclined planes. VELUX branded curtains and blinds are specially adapted to work in the inclined plane of the roof, and therefore the fabric will not sag or lose its shape and color. In addition, these curtains are very easy to install, since they exactly match the size of the window. The specially developed Pick & Click! TM system allows you to easily fit the curtain into the pre-installed brackets on every VELUX window. It is just as easy to replace or remove the curtains.
Curtains tightly cover the entire plane of the window, protecting the room from prying eyes and controlling the level of illumination - up to complete blackout, not letting in any moon or sunlight into the room. Our internal clocks are set in such a way that each person takes a certain amount of time to get enough sleep and feel refreshed and full of energy. However, nature works on its own clock. Finding the right light balance becomes especially important during the summer months, when the night is much shorter and the sun rises earlier. Skylights located directly in the roof of the house let direct sunlight into the room, filling the space with the maximum amount of light. Obviously, getting enough sleep in such a situation is quite difficult. Therefore, blackout curtains in the presence of dormers in the bedroom will be the ideal solution. This is especially true for a child who needs to fall asleep early in the evening and sleep well in the morning. That is why it is so important for him to create a comfortable environment in the bedroom. Disney & VELUX's fabulous collection is the easiest way to control sleep lighting in bedrooms with VELUX roof windows. In addition to providing a healthy sleep environment, these curtains provide the right lighting for play or study.
The advantage of the new blackout curtains is not only their striking design and ease of use. The curtains are made of materials that do not contain any harmful chemicals and fully comply with the Oeko-Tex material testing standard ® Standard 100 is an internationally recognized standard that guarantees that a product is not capable of harming your life and health.
Kent Holm, director of sun protection and decoration accessories at VELUX, explains:
“We want to create the best possible environment for our children at all times, and bedtime is no exception. We know that sufficient darkening in a child's room promotes restful sleep. When developing a new collection for children's bedrooms, it was important for us to create such conditions so that parents can easily control the level of light, creating a fun and comfortable environment - both during play and while sleeping."
