  • Room Darkening

    One of the most frequent questions we get asked is about the difference between room darkening and blackout…and which option would be best. It’s a good idea to understand that room darkening is the term used when “most” of the light is kept from a room, but it’s still possible to see. Blackout is best described as an environment where all the light is blocked, and it can be hard to see. Both environments are favorable for a good night’s sleep. It’s often the intensity of the light–or if adults need daytime sleep–that can dictate which choice is best. Plus, the type of window shades and fabrics influence the results.

    If you’d like ideas for the window treatments, including room darkening and black out blinds and shades, we’ve got plenty to choose from. Block the light, no matter the time–day or night.

    Light Gaps

    It’s always important to keep in mind that light gaps may exist–these are slivers of light that appear along the edges of room darkening shades when it’s bright outside. We mention this because there are times when blackout shades create more of a “room darkening” environment due to the gaps. This is where your window covering specialist can help guide you. Depending on the make-up of your window, the framing and depth, you can have varying light gaps. It’s dependent upon which window coverings you choose and how they are installed. One option to consider if you need it ultra-dark, is the LightLock system. This adds a U-channel to the frame, sealing out the light, paired with a blackout honeycomb shade. Another option, layering draperies, allows you to cover the edges of the window, while enhancing the style of your home.

    Can it get even darker?

    Get solutions to block the most intense sunshine for any room in your home. And, create the ideal media space for an afternoon movie. With the LightLock™ feature on room darkening shades, any room can achieve complete darkness!

  • Top Down/Bottom Up Shades

    Top Down Bottom Up window coverings give homeowners precise control over light, privacy, and protection from the sun’s harmful rays. These innovative window coverings let you lower the top for soft, filtered light while keeping the bottom closed for privacy—or raise the bottom for full natural light. Many styles also include a sheer shade option, adding UV protection while maintaining a bright, airy atmosphere. Perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, or any space where light and comfort matter.


    How Top Down Bottom Up Window Coverings Work

    • Move the shade independently from the top or bottom of the window
    • Enjoy natural light from above while maintaining privacy below
    • Compatible with honeycomb shades from brands such as Hunter Douglas, Alta and Graber
    • Sheer shade option reduces UV damage to furniture, flooring, and interiors

    Benefits of Top Down Bottom Up Shades

    • Flexible Light Control: Filter sunlight or darken rooms as needed
    • Privacy on Demand: Keep the bottom closed while letting light in from the top
    • UV Protection: Sheer shades protect interiors while letting in soft natural light
    • Energy Efficiency: Reduce heat gain and lower cooling costs
    • Safe and Stylish: Cordless or motorized options available for convenience and child safety

    Daylighting

    Natural light crosses the ceiling and illuminates the space. This is called daylighting, and it’s a well-loved feature of top down shades. Just by lowering your shades from the top, you can have all the benefits of covered windows while enjoying mood-boosting sunshine. Reduced glare, no direct rays in your eyes, privacy and energy savings.

    Privacy

    Just because you have street-level traffic outside your windows, doesn’t mean you have to give up privacy. Not only that, but you don’t have to give up your sky views or natural light, either. Bring the shades down enough that you can have the best of both worlds–a cozy, private feeling on the inside with natural light that easily puts you in a good mood.
