I had the bed in my 2nd BR against the blinds and it looked fine~I used side panels, tied back, and it gave the bed more 'presence'. You could also do a balloon valance, very feminine for a little girls room.

I was actually more concerned about the ivory colored furniture against the white blinds. Does is matter if they are different colors?

I don't think it matters as long as you can definitely tell they are different colors. If they are too close in shade then it might look like you were trying to match, but didn't quite make it. :-)

In my daughter's room I have a shade and sheer curtains. If everything is closed then the room is really dark (great for naps and summer when she goes to bed when it's still light out). If I want just a little light, or some light with privacy, then I open the shade but leave the sheers closed. And when I want it bright, I open it all up! Works great for us.

My son's room had blinds, but I replaced it with a shade. Our neighbor's son had a tragic accident because of cords from their blinds and I immediately rid my home of all cords. They even had the child safety cord winders, but he reached it somehow and figured out how to get it off. Just my two cents, since your daughter's bed will be right up against the window and she could easily stand on the bed and get to the cords.

Have you considered shutters instead of blinds? Solves the cord danger and very pretty. With shutters, they look like part of the window, so you won't have an issue with matching the furniture.

I agree shutters would be pretty -- although more pricey than faux wood blinds. However, I think you can match the blinds to the window trim because I think that the wood or faux wood can look like part of the window, just like shutters. It's when you use fabrics that I think the color can be tricky.

I got my blinds at blindsgalore.com -- they were priced reasonably and custom sized for my weird 50's windows. I know some blinds have cordless lift options specifically for the safety issue. You may want to look into that.

Yes, I would get cordless blinds. I always order from americanblinds.com. Great, fast service and good prices!
I definitely can't afford shutters!
The Levelor blinds I priced are only $65 for each window!
