Control The Light With Window Treatments That Darken The Room

Room darkening window shutters, shades, and blinds are designed to restrict light from entering a room. Blinds and shades are typically made of a thick, heavy fabric lined with an opaque material. This combination of materials helps to prevent light from passing through the fabric, creating a dark and peaceful environment in the room. Shutters are made of wood or polymer that naturally provide a light-blocking function.

Common Types of Room Darkening Window Treatments

Shutters, blinds, and shades work differently to block out light, but they all share the same goal of creating a dark and comfortable space.

Best Applications for Room Darkening Window Treatments

Blackout shutters, blinds, and shades are most commonly used in rooms where complete darkness is desired, such as bedrooms and home theaters. They are also often used in nurseries, to help create a dark and peaceful environment for infants to sleep in during the day.

Bedrooms

In bedrooms, blackout window treatments are ideal for blocking out light from street lamps, car headlights, and other sources, which can disrupt sleep and make it difficult for people to fall asleep. Blackout window treatments can also help to keep a room cool by blocking out the sun’s rays, which can reduce the need for air conditioning during the summer months.

Home Theaters

Home theaters also benefit from blackout window treatments, as they help to create a dark and immersive viewing experience. The complete darkness allows for better contrast and overall image quality, making movies and TV shows look more cinematic.

Nurseries

In nurseries, blackout window treatments can be used to create a dark and peaceful environment for infants to sleep during the day, which can help to regulate their sleep patterns and promote healthy growth.

Other Rooms

Blackout window treatments can also be used in other areas of the home such as home offices, where having a dark room can help to reduce glare on computer screens and make it easier to focus on work. They can also be used in media rooms, where complete darkness is needed to fully appreciate the visuals and sounds of movies, TV shows, or video games.

Profoundly happy with the beautiful Smart Drapes window fixtures, Gary Loconsole installed from the Louver Shop Shutters of Philadelphia. They are not only beautiful but also practical.

I had a very nice experience working with Bryan Duke. Their Shop installed plantation shutters throughout our new house a year ago. The shutters were of good quality and installed correctly. We have not had a problem at all with them.

I got a few estimates and chose Kevin because he seemed most knowledgeable about the blinds and would do the installation himself. The blinds look great and work well.
