Popular Room Darkening Shades

Room darkening shades adjust the natural light in your bedroom and reduce the glare on your screens from sunlight or streetlights outside your home. Your shades can improve energy efficiency and reduce noise pollution. They even protect your furnishings and carpet from fading by blocking up to 81% of UV rays. Common choices for room darkening shades include:

• Designer Roller Shades have hundreds of fabrics
• Luminette® Privacy Sheers and Silhouette® Sheer Shades are made from semi-opaque fabrics. They can be turned to reduce light and provide privacy, and they’re a fantastic choice if you have a balcony attached to your bedroom.
• Vignette® Roman Shades,

Top Choice for Room Darkening Shades

For the most impactful darkness in your bedroom, select Duette® Cellular Shades. These room-darkening shades use the DuoLite® and LightLock® systems. The two systems work together to give Mom control to make it as dark as she needs.

• The DuoLite system uses two panels of fabric. One panel filters light, blocks the UV rays, and still adds a layer of privacy. The other panel blocks lights, so early-morning sunrise won’t hit Mom’s face and wake her.
• The LightLock system uses overlapping U-shaped panels that reduce light gaps. The fabric deflects or absorbs incoming light, so it stays out of the bedroom.

Duette® Cellular Shades also feature Honeycomb cells. The honeycomb structure traps air and creates a layer of insulation. When it’s up against a window, it creates a buffer between the outside temperature and the inside temperature, which keeps the room warmer in winter and cooler in summer. It also absorbs sound, so Mom won’t hear the neighbor’s obnoxiously loud engine roaring to life.

Together, these three elements create a complete blackout so Mom can fall into a deep and restful sleep and stay there.

Give Her the Power of Automation

To get the most out of your room darkening shades, opt to have them motorized. An app can control the window room darkening shades from anywhere, so when Mom’s ready for bed or if she needs a nap before the kids get home from school, it’s a simple tap. The system can also run automatically, so she doesn’t need to remember to adjust them.
