Blackout Shades

Getting a good night’s sleep can be frustrating if the first rays of morning light wake you up, but with blackout shades installed as a bedroom window treatment improvement, you’ll finally get to sleep past 6:30am in the summertime, especially on weekends. Blackout shades will provide just that – a total blackout in your bedroom with pure darkness for your body’s ultimate rest and a great night’s restorative sleep that’s so important to your well-being. Health experts say we need at least eight hours of sleep, and if you’re going to bed at midnight and waking at 6:30am when the morning sun shines through your too-thin window shades, you’re missing out on the health benefits of good sleep.

Conservatory Windows

How do you shade a room consisting of three walls of windows? It seems intimidating, but this project is actually quite fun. First, consider the décor and style you would like to maintain in the room. Next, pick a type of treatment.

For conservatories, you can use shades, curtains, blinds, or sheers. The options are vast, so let’s compare the different choices.

Shades

Shades are a great option if you want to control the amount of light entering the room. Unlike curtains, which typically offer open or closed options, shade levels can be adjusted to allow some light in while blocking blinding rays. In conservatories, shades are a great option because you can stagger the levels or leave the sun-facing side closed while still taking in the outdoor views from the other windowed walls.

Window Treatments

When it comes to choosing the perfect window treatments, the options are endless. Some people find shading solutions so alluring, they redesign a room around the windows! If you’re already in love with the current décor, finding window treatments that fit the theme and feel of the room is absolutely possible. The best way to approach your window treatment search is to analyze the room and determine what you want from the options.

When deciding which type of shading you prefer, narrow the options by asking yourself a few questions about the space in question. Do you envision traditional blinds or heavy drapery? Would you like soft natural light, or no natural light at all? When making these decisions, think about the primary use of the room. Is it a space for relaxing or a home gym? Are there outdoor views you would like to take advantage of, or is energy efficiency your top priority? Read more »
