Why Homes Will Love Blackout Shades for Bedrooms

There is nothing better than waking up in the morning feeling well-rested and ready for the day ahead. However, did you know that you could be unwittingly reducing your quality of sleep each night?  For example, if you find yourself groggy, cranky, or in a fog even after sleeping a full eight hours, then it might be time to consider replacing your shades. Since regular window treatments let in trace amounts of light from street lamps, cars, moonlight, and more, you might not be able to reach the deepest state of sleep that allows you wake up well-rested. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas has a collection of window treatments that will help you achieve improved sleep, improved acoustics, and custom privacy. Read on to learn more about why homes will love blackout shades for bedrooms.

Better Sleeping Habits

As mentioned, one of the reasons why homes will love blackout shades for bedrooms is improved sleeping habits. For our nine-to-fivers, this means that you can sleep through the night without artificial lighting disturbing your Zs. For our nightshift workers, this means that you can get a full eight hours without the blaring afternoon sun keeping you up. This is thanks to the innovative technology used within many of our Hunter Douglas blackout shades.

For example, Duette® Honeycomb Shades feature the LightLock™ system that absorbs or deflects nearly all incoming light, including natural and artificial. Of course, if you have to wake up to use the restroom or get a glass of water, you won’t feel like you are stumbling through a cave. That is why Hunter Douglas blackout shades block nearly all light from coming through. This makes them perfect for master suites, guest bedrooms, and nurseries where getting an ample amount of sleep is a necessity. These shades also help improve the acoustics of your bedroom while drowning out the noise of chatty neighbors or loud cars rumbling by.

Custom Privacy

When it comes to our bedrooms, the last thing we want is a flimsy shade that gives the world a front row seat to our most personal space. Of course, no one wants to feel like they are stepping into a pitch-black tomb every time they shut their shades. This is another reason why homes will love blackout shades for bedrooms. In fact, our Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Duolite® option allows you to achieve your custom levels of light, shade, and privacy throughout the day.

Featuring two shades in one, Silhouette® Duolite® offers room-darkening benefits for when you need some sleep and privacy and light-filtering benefits for when you want to enjoy some natural lighting. This is thanks to the independently operated roller shade nestled behind the window treatment for complete control over all incoming light. You can also choose from a variety of custom designs to match the aesthetic of your bedroom.
