Breathe New Life into Your Bedroom with Blackout Shades
Getting a good night’s rest is scientifically proven to help lower the chances of mental illness, heart disease, and stress while providing energy for everything you need to accomplish during the day. But how do we get that much-needed sleep? By creating conditions that put us in a restful state and block out distractions.
Selecting blackout shades for your bedroom helps put your space in a state of relaxation that will improve your quality of rest. At Designing Windows, our talented design team can help you find the best blackout shades for your home’s bedrooms.
Benefits of Bedroom Blackout Shades
Blocking outside light with bedroom blackout shades creates a darker, quieter, more tranquil space. These characteristics make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep longer to get the reset your body needs. Some additional advantages of bedroom blackout shades include:
- Increasing privacy.
- Absorbing outside sound.
- Adding style and elegance to your bedroom.
- Reducing glare and UV rays.
Types of Hunter Douglas Blackout Shades for Your Bedroom
There are many premium Hunter Douglas window treatments that provide room-darkening benefits, such as:
Duette® Cellular Shades
The most popular and best blackout shades for bedrooms are Duette® Cellular Shades, which are available with LightLock®. The LightLock® feature contains a side channel design that helps absorb and deflect most natural light streaming in from the window.
Additionally, they’re energy-efficient window treatments due to their honeycomb-like fabric pockets that trap air. These pockets can help keep your bedroom comfortable, encouraging more restful sleep.
Silhouette® Sheer Shades
Don’t let the name fool you because Silhouette® Sheer Shades can work well as bedroom blackout shades. During the day, these shades transform the natural sunlight into a radiant glow. When you upgrade these sheer shades with the Duolite® system or A Deux® design, you’ll enjoy improved light control and room-darkening features.
Vignette® Roman Shades
For a modern-day twist on classic window treatments, the sophisticatedly tailored Vignette® Roman Shades can provide beautifully filtered sunlight. But they can do more for you when you opt for the special feature Vignette® Duolite® Shades. This feature combines a light-filtering or sheer panel as the front shade with a room-darkening back panel.
Custom Drapes
For even more room-darkening benefits, consider layering your window treatments with custom drapery. Adding drapes over other window treatments can help with any light sneaking out from the sides of your shades or blinds, making your room even darker. Custom drapes can also help absorb and reduce outside noise, improving sleeping conditions, especially during the daytime.
Tips for a Better Night's Sleep
While blackout shades for your bedroom can contribute to more restful sleep, other helpful habits for better sleep hygiene include:
- Creating a bedtime routine.
- Investing in comfortable custom bedding or your sleepwear.
- Avoiding screen blue lights for at least an hour before bedtime.
- Plugging your phone into another room.
- Using a sound machine.
