Blackout Shades for a Good Night's Sleep
Is there anything better than a full night of deep, undisturbed snoozing? A sleep that is so good that you wake up with pillow marks on your face? A sleep so fantastically restful that you wake up ready to take on the day?
While we would all love to achieve such beauty rest every night, for many of us, it’s nothing but a dream. Sure, you could get the comfiest bed and softest sheets, but if you find yourself still robbed of sleep, it might be bright artificial or natural lighting streaming through your windows. Too much light can prevent you from achieving the REM sleep you need. Fortunately, our team at Designer Accents at Home is here to help. We carry the best options from Hunter Douglas with blackout shades to create that perfect bedroom oasis, whether you desire stylish or insulating styles for your space.
Benefits of Blackout Shades
REM sleep is key when it comes to deep, restful sleep. Blackout shades from Hunter Douglas block out car headlights, street lamp lights, moonlight, and even sunlight if you work nights and need to sleep throughout the day. Of course, blackout shades offer more benefits than just that. Hunter Douglas blackout shades block out distracting light and prevent glare, seal the cracks in your windows where pesky light streams in, and darkens a room no matter the time of day. This last feature makes them especially great for media rooms and living rooms.
Blackout Shade Options
Hunter Douglas understands that window treatments are not a one-size-fits-all product. Even if you need room-darkening, you might want other functional benefits as well. That is why we are happy to introduce you to our expansive blackout Hunter Douglas shade options. These include:
- Duette® Cellular Shades: Combining energy efficiency and room-darkening, these Hunter Douglas shades keep your home warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and dark when you need it most. Over time, these shades can also reduce your home’s energy bills. Plus, with LightLock™, these cellular shades feature U-shaped side channels that fit inside your window frame to minimize light gaps, providing 99% darkness.
- Vignette® Roman Shades: Featuring crisp, uniform folds that can be customized to provide unparalleled blackout properties, these Roman shades from Hunter Douglas are excellent shades for minimalist homes. These shades can be fitted to uniquely shaped windows, ensuring that no trace amounts of light will disturb your beauty rest or movie night.
- Silhouette® Sheer Shades: The pioneer of light control, this sheer shade transforms bright sunlight into a beautiful glow during the daytime and block out unwanted light whenever you wish. Featuring vanes of solid fabrics that appear to float between a front and back layer of sheer material, these shades offer a range of light filtering and privacy capabilities without compromising your view of the outdoors.
