3 Rooms Where You Need Custom Blackout Curtains
Certain rooms in our home require different materials to make them reach their fullest potential. For example, you can’t make delicious meals in your kitchen without the proper appliances. If you want to entertain people in your living room, most likely need a table, a couch, and an entertainment system. Your bedroom often calls for a comfortable bed and soft lighting. While these are excellent, starts for creating your perfect home, we have a suggestion that would make it even better: custom black-out curtains.
At Wessco Blinds, we carry blinds, shutters, and shades from Hunter Douglas with features that help with room darkening and blackout capability in any room that needs it. Capable of blocking light better than most shades, custom blackout curtains are excellent for three rooms in your home in particular. These include bedrooms, media rooms, and living rooms.
Room #1: Bedrooms
One of the most obvious contenders, when it comes to the best rooms for custom blackout curtains, room-darkening shades, and blackout shades, the bedroom greatly benefits from this addition. If you have ever been kept up by bright moonlight, street lamps, or car headlights, then your current shades might not be doing an adequate job or blocking out unwanted light. Even if you do get to sleep, trace amounts of light can rob you of REM sleep.
For bedrooms, try a Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shade with the LightLock™ feature. This shade is the only one of its kind to provide 360-degree darkening effects. It fits securely into the window frame with U-shaped side channels to trap and absorbs leaving rooms dark when you need them to be dark. Plus, Duette® Cellular Shades add energy efficiency to your home and are among our most popular shade options.
Room #2: Media Rooms
After settling in for a movie, having to get up to shut your window treatments because outside light is causing glare, and your screens is incredibly annoying. This is made even more annoying if your shades are already shut. That is why another one of the best rooms for room darkening shades, custom blackout curtains, or black-out shades are media rooms. For ultimate room darkening, we suggest Hunter Douglas shades that are available with Duolite®, two fabric panels in a single shade (one light filtering and one light blocking) for ultimate light control.
Room #3: Living Rooms
Even though you might not want your living room to be in complete darkness throughout the day, it will come in handy during certain times, like when you’re trying to get some privacy to trying to watch a movie without glare from outside light. Hunter Douglas blinds come with de-Light™ feature, a hole-free design that hides cord holes and blocks light more efficiently.
The de-Light™ feature is available on:
- Parkland® Wood Blinds
- EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds
- Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds
