Top 3 room-darkening Shades Near Wichita, KS
It’s easy to confuse blackout shades with room-darkening shades. While these window treatment ideas reduce light and glare, they offer varying degrees of light control. Jackie and Bill's Drapery & Interiors offers both options by Hunter Douglas, and our team often explains their features to our clients.
What Are Room-Darkening Shades?
Room-darkening shades block a substantial amount of light, though not completely. They create a darker environment but don’t block 100 percent of the light. Hunter Douglas room-darkening shades work well in bedrooms, media rooms, or wherever else you need to reduce glare and enhance privacy without entirely blocking out natural light. They come in many styles, materials, and colors to offer style and color as well as superior room-darkening capabilities.
Ordering Room-Darkening Shades
When selecting room-darkening shades, consider the room's specific needs. Decide how much light control you need—if you want nearly complete darkness, shop for blackout shades. Other considerations include the room's current style, the color scheme, and whether or not you want energy-efficient shades.
Here are our top three room-darkening shades:
1. Duette® Cellular Shades
As one of our best-selling window covering ideas, Duette® Cellular Shades are energy-efficient and versatile. Their honeycomb structure traps air to create an insulating barrier that can reduce energy costs.
These shades are available in a range of opacities, including room-darkening options. Their sleek, contemporary look complements various interior styles, and the high-performing fabrics stand the test of time. They’re available in horizontal and vertical orientations. You can also pair them with drapes for a uniquely layered design statement.
2. Silhouette® Sheer Shades
Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades darken rooms with grace and sophistication. They have integrated, adjustable S-shaped vanes that float between two sheer panels. You get to control the amount of light coming inside while still having a view of the outside.
We can custom order these shades in room-darkening fabrics that offer privacy and reduce glare. Our team recommends them for living rooms and bedrooms, where you can create a comfortable atmosphere without sacrificing style.
For even more flexible light control, Silhouette® Duolite® Shades have the light-diffusing benefits of a Silhouette® shading plus an independently operated roller shade behind it.
3. Vignette® Roman Shades
This third window treatment idea blends the elegant appeal of a Roman shade’s design with modern form and function. Vignette® Roman Shades have 4" full folds or 6" flat folds that create a clean, polished look.
We can help you customize Vignette® Roman Shades with sheer, light-filtering, or room-darkening fabric opacities. Choose from dozens of colors and quality fabrics like linen, silk, natural weaves, and tweeds. You can select a fabric with a subtle texture or lovely pattern to add visual interest to your windows.
