Blackout Shades
Beach vacations aren’t complete without a sunny afternoon by the water. Reading a book in a cozy patch of light is a splendid afternoon. Even taking a walk in the sunshine after a few gloomy winter days is like a breath of fresh air. However, at Designer Accents at Home, we know there are moments when we need some reprieve from the bright rays of the sun.
For example, if you are trying to watch a movie when the sun is out, you might deal with glare on your screens. If you are trying to sleep, the bright artificial lights from cars rolling by or nearby street lamps can prevent you from reaching REM sleep. Basically, we all need a balance of light and sun.
Unfortunately, many big-box store shades will not provide ample sun blockage. That is where Hunter Douglas comes in. Offering a variety of room darkening and blackout shades, Hunter Douglas makes it easy to achieve your lighting preferences.
Duette® Honeycomb Shades
An energy efficiency shade, Duette® Honeycomb Shades can help keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer thanks to its cellular honeycomb structure that traps air right at your windows. Of course, Duette® Honeycomb Shades do more than just that! Featuring the LightLock™ system, Duette® Honeycomb Shades can also offer unparalleled darkness when you need it most. The LightLock™ system features a side channel design that is optimized to absorb or deflect nearly all incoming light. This makes these shades perfect for media rooms and bedrooms alike. If you need extra shade or privacy, then you will love exploring Duette® Honeycomb Shades in all their sizes and color options.
Vignette® Modern Roman Shades
A classic Roman shade that offers a uniform appearance and sophisticated designs, Hunter Douglas Vignette® Modern Roman Shades offer class, functional ease, and blackout capabilities. In fact, Vignette Duolite® Shades combine with either a light-filtering shade or a sheer front shade with a built-in room-darkening back panel. To maintain its sleek appearance, these shades house both of these pieces on one roller shade. This allows for less mounting depth than other dual roller systems available. This allows you to achieve unparalleled darkness when you need it while still maintaining a clean, sleek style at your windows.
Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery
If you have window treatments that you love but want a little added oomph when it comes to light control, then you will love exploring our Hunter Douglas Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery. Though not technically blackout shades, these pieces allow you to enhance your current window treatments while enjoying darkness whenever you please. Simple draw your drapery closed over your window treatments and you will no longer have to deal with the lights of street lamps, car headlights, the moon, or the sun from disrupting your sleep or movie marathon. Plus, since these custom draperies are in the Design Studio collection, you have endless opportunities for customization.
