Sometimes, less light is better. Whether you need to keep pesky light leaks at bay when trying to sleep or you want to darken your home for a movie on a rainy day, blackout window coverings can certainly come in handy. Hunter Douglas offers a great selection of custom blackout window coverings for homes for you to choose from for both luxurious style and impressive light control in any room.
Best Blackout Shades
There are several great options for custom blackout shades you can choose from to get effective room-darkening in your home. You’ll want to start with finding a shade style that offers a good fit, with minimal light gaps surrounding your windows. This factor is just one of the many aspects of Designer Roller Shades that make them great for homes. For each set of custom roller shades, exact measurements are taken from the windows to ensure the final product fits as precisely as possible. You can add a blackout liner to your custom roller shades to make the light control even better. The resulting shades also look incredibly refined as well.
You can enjoy superior room-darkening by choosing Duette® Honeycomb Shades as well. This collection of energy-efficient shades is now available with the new LightLock™ system, which fits into the sides of your windows next to your shades. This system is the most advanced room-darkening system available and can keep your home dark even during a bright sunny day.
Duolite®
While reading about blackout shades, you may be wondering about the windows in your home where you’ll want more flexibility for the natural light in your home. Luckily, you won’t have to switch between total darkness and direct sunlight with Hunter Douglas shades. The available Duolite® option, which recently became available for Designer Roller Shades, is a sleek feature that gives you a third level of light on your windows. The independent liner lowers behind your shades to provide a room-darkening effect whenever you need it.
When you have this feature added to your shades, you can use the primary shade to filter light and allow soft natural light into the room while knowing you can always just lower the blackout liner if you need room-darkening. This independent liner even operates from the same head rail as your shades, so no one will even know it’s there until you make your home darker for your cozy rainy day movie.
Design Studio™ Side Panels and Drapery
If you want an option for blackout window coverings for your bedroom, choosing custom drapery will work spectacularly. Design Studio™ Side Panels and Drapery come in a variety of styles, including a version with a blackout curtain. Between the soft style, sound-dampening from the fabric folds, and the room-darkening effect, your room will be perfectly set up for a restful night of sleep.
