Choosing the Best Shades for Bedrooms
Creating the perfect bedroom ambiance is a bit of an art. You want to consider the following:
- How well with the shades block natural light?
- Will they help control the room’s temperature?
- Will they reduce noise from outside?
- Can they let in light when you want it?
Materials and colors also matter, of course. Luckily, you don’t have to decide all of this on your own. From style selection to precise measurement and expert installation, window treatment boutique staff—such as those at Adler’s Blinds—can guide you in making each decision.
Insist on the convenience of home shopping so you can see how various materials, styles and hardware will look in your bedroom.
Popular Bedroom Shade Options
- Cellular or honeycomb shades are often chosen for their energy efficiency. Their unique construction adds a layer of insulation to prevent window heat loss.
Duette honeycomb selections have double the layers for even more coziness. One option comes with side channels that overlap the shade’s front and back for total darkness when wanted.
- Roller shades provide energy efficiency as well, and come in many opacities, patterns, textures and colors. They can be customized with top and bottom treatments.
If your bedroom looks out on a beautiful scene, you won’t miss any of the view, because roller shades roll up into the headrail. They come with a dual roller system that allows you to pair two fabrics on one cassette. You can operate each fabric separately. For example, if you want light sometimes and dark other times, one of your fabrics can be a blackout option.
- Screen shades provide UV protection while retaining your view out the window. If you like to work on your laptop or watch TV in bed, these shades will reduce glare, while letting in enough light to see your screen.
- With the elegant look of drapes, Roman shades add a lush, calming feel to bedrooms. Vignette® Modern Roman shades hide the cords for a crisp aesthetic. They come in a wide variety of fabrics and colors, along with three different opacities.
Silhouette Window Shadings are a special shade featuring the Signature S-VaneTM that seems to float between the two sheer layers. With the vanes open, the sheers filter harsh light, while the rear sheer blocks any passerby’s view into your most private space.
