Best Blackout Shades for Homes
There are many things to love about a California summer. We get gorgeous weather, wonderful beach days, and a bright sun that fills our days with warm bliss. Of course, that constant sunshine can get really old really fast. This is especially true if you go into your home and feel like you are still on the beach. If your windows are not properly covered, bright sunlight can stream in and cause your home to heat. Additionally, that late summer sun can stream through your windows when you are getting ready for bed. Even when the summer sun has set, bright moonlight, street lamps, city lights, and car headlights can seep through your windows and prevent your body from achieving REM sleep. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas offers a variety of blackout shades and room darkening shades. Read on to discover the best room darkening and best blackout shades for homes.
Duette® Honeycomb Shades
One of the best blackout shades for homes are our Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades. You can enjoy unparalleled darkness with the innovative LightLock™ system available with all Duette shades. This option almost completely eliminates light gaps, allowing you to achieve better rest throughout the night. Additionally, the LightLock™ system utilizes a unique U-shaped side channel that overlaps the front and black to seamlessly blend into one uncluttered window shade.
If flexibility is your preferred feature, Hunter Douglas’ innovative Duolite® feature allows you to have total control over the light and privacy your home enjoys. This is thanks to the feature combining two fabric panels in a single shade. One of the fabric panels is made from a light-filtering fabric and the other from a light blocking fabric, giving you an impressive amount of light control. The best part? Both layers can be moved independently.
Designer Banded Shades
Another one of the best blackout shades for homes are Hunter Douglas roller shades. These are excellent for reducing glare and UV protection. Plus, these shades never take away from your view of the great outdoors, so you can keep on enjoying what is outside of your home. Roller shades also help with energy efficiency and room darkening, so your bedroom will stay cool and shaded all summer long.
Designer Banded Shades combine alternating sheer and solid fabric bands in a single shade for total light control, unparalleled shade, and a beautiful look at your windows. We can also introduce you to the various fabric colors within this collection to create a look that you will love.
