What are the Best Rooms for Blackout Shades?
While we love natural sunshine, some rooms simply work better with less light. Whether you are trying to sleep past sunrise, create a better movie night setup, or keep afternoon glare off a screen, blackout shades can work beautifully in a variety of rooms. Here’s a little more about these shades, where they fit best, and a few styles we think you will love:
Blackout Shades for Bedrooms Offer More Privacy
The bedroom is probably the most obvious place for blackout window treatments. Morning sunlight can wake you up earlier than planned, while streetlights and headlights can keep the room brighter than you would like at night. Blackout shades can create a darker environment that helps you achieve deeper rest, whether you are turning in for the night or taking an afternoon nap.
Duette® Cellular Shades with the LightLock® blackout system are particularly well-suited to bedrooms. The system uses specialized side channels to minimize light gaps around the edges of the shade, giving you a darker room than you might get with a shade alone.
Help Children Sleep Better with Blackout Shades in Nurseries
If you have ever tried to convince a tired baby to nap while sunlight is streaming through the windows, you already know why blackout shades can be helpful in a nursery. Darkening the room can make it easier to create a consistent sleep environment for naps and bedtime.
Blackout shades can also help reduce distractions from outdoor activity, especially in rooms facing a busy street. Cellular shades are a great option here because they can provide both light control and insulation. Paired with modern drapery, your baby can enjoy even greater light and noise control, as well as comfort, thanks to the insulating properties of the fabrics.
Blackout Window Shades Make Media Rooms Feel Cozier
A bright room can make it difficult to see what is happening on a television or projector screen. If you have a dedicated home theater or media room, blackout window treatments can help reduce glare and unwanted light so you can actually see your movie or show.
Roller shades in a room-darkening fabric are a great addition to these spaces. They allow slightly more light to enter so you can move about the space safely, but block most of the sun to prevent glare. Compatible with PowerView® Automation, these shades can also create a movie theater effect with hands-free adjustments.
