Room Darkening Window Treatments:

Spring is here, which means longer daylight hours are coming. This is great for everyone, as the doldrums of winter get further behind us, but for some, sleeping becomes more difficult as the sun beams through the windows earlier each morning and later in the evening. One way to combat the bright room is by using darkening shades and draperies. 

What are Room Darkening Shades and Draperies? 

Just as it sounds, room darkening shades and draperies are specially designed to diffuse the light from entering a room. These coverings come in a variety of colors and styles, unlike the old shades from decades ago. From traditional drapes and Roman shades that have an additional layer of lining to filter out the light, to cellular shades, solar shades, and roller shades, there are plenty of options for homeowners to choose from when finding the perfect way to darken a room while still staying stylish and matching their home interior. 

The Benefits of Room Darkening Window Treatments

Imagine these scenarios: You had a late night at work and you’re not falling asleep until the sun comes up; it’s a Saturday morning of a long work week and you want to sleep in for a few extra hours; you want to take an afternoon nap but it’s a sunny day out and you’re having trouble falling asleep. Sunlight peeking through your shades and curtains can impede your ability to catch extra zzz’s. By equipping your windows with coverings to filter out the light, you can maximize your sleep without solar interruptions. 

These room darkening shades and drapes can also work at night as well to block out street lights, moonlight, or even your neighbor's motion sensor light that seems to be constantly triggered at 1 am.  

Room darkening window treatments are great for nurseries too! If you have an infant that seems to continually wake in the early of the morning, switch out their shades to ones that diffuse the light and everyone will enjoy a few more hours of sleep.
