Blackout vs. Room Darkening Shades for the Bedroom
Bedroom window shades can go a long way toward creating a cool, calm, and quiet environment that fosters a good night's sleep. Choosing blackout or room-darkening bedroom window shades makes your room more private and darker so you can relax and rejuvenate in peace. At Blind Corners, we carry Hunter Douglas shades in Roseville, CA. We can work with you to select room darkening vs. blackout fabrics for your bedroom and the style of bedroom window shade you prefer.
Room-Darkening vs. Blackout Fabrics
It's commonly assumed that room-darkening or blackout fabrics are darker fabrics, but that's not the case. It refers to the fabric's weave and how much light can pass through. Room-darkening fabrics are tightly woven fabrics that prevent most light from passing through the window shades. Depending on the fabric, they can block as much as 80% of light.
Adding liners and other systems can block even more light for a complete blackout experience. In your bedroom, this can create an environment that signals it's time to sleep so you sleep longer and deeper.
Which option is best for you: room-darkening or blackout bedroom window shades?
Designer Roller Shades for Room-Darkening Bedroom Window Shades
Designer Roller Shades come in more than 370 fabric colors and materials. Many of these fabrics are room-darkening or opaque, which will block out much light. Since they're fitted to your window, they won't let in as much light through the sides. However, our Duolite® system combines the fabric of your choice with a room-darkening opaque liner. The shade and the liner can operate independently so that you can enjoy a view or a next-level room darkening experience and nearly blackout conditions.
Duette® Cellular Shades for Blackout Bedroom Window Shades
What if room darkening isn't enough? Cue Duette® Cellular Shades. These shades are available in over 150 fabric and color combinations, including light-filtering, opaque, and room-darkening fabrics. Cellular shades are already a good choice for bedrooms because they contribute to a more comfortable and quieter atmosphere due to the layers of fabric that act like insulation on your window.
You can also combine the Duette® Cellular Shade with the Duolite® system and select a room-darkening liner, or you can opt for our LightLock® Blackout System. LightLock® adds u-shaped channels into the window frame so that light is both deflected or absorbed and can't shine through the sides of the shade. It's your best solution if you want to have a dark room at any time of the day or night.
