Sound Blocking Shades for the Bedroom

Many sleep specialists say that most people need three elements to create the ideal sleeping conditions. They need a room that is dark, quiet, and at a comfortable temperature ideally between 60-67° Fahrenheit. If you’re ready to invest in your sleep health, consider the many benefits of updating your bedroom window shades to more advanced options better suited to help you create a tranquil, sleep-inducing environment.

At Mr. K’s Fabric Shop, you’ll find a range of Hunter Douglas window treatments that can help you control the interior atmosphere of your home from sound blocking shades to insulating window coverings, all with the latest advancements in operation and style from Hunter Douglas.

Honeycomb Cellular Shades

Honeycomb cellular shades provide unparalleled multi-level environmental control, which is why they make popular window treatments for bedrooms.

Cellular shades have an internal structure shaped like a honeycomb, with pockets of air trapped between the fabric layers. This unique design affords the shades an unmatched ability to block heat and cold from the outside, insulating homes and helping to keep internal temperatures at a more consistent and comfortable level.

Cellular shades also make excellent sound blocking shades, again thanks to their distinctive construction. This allows them to absorb sound waves to make bedrooms quieter and more suited for restful and restorative sleep.

There are multiple types of cellular shades from Hunter Douglas to suit a range of different interior design styles. Duette® Cellular Shades are the classic honeycomb shades designed for year-round efficiency and environmental control. Sonnette® Roller Shades, a hybrid roller shade empowered by an underlying cellular construction.

When it comes to blocking light to create darkened interiors for sleep, cellular shades from Hunter Douglas are also available with the exclusive Duolite® system that combines a light-filtering and a room-darkening shade in one unit for the ultimate in light control.

Layered Window Fashions

Layered window fashions offer homeowners both the visual interest of a multi-tiered design and the enhanced environmental control that comes from multiple types of window treatments working in unison. When paired together in a layered window treatment, drapes work together with blinds, shades, and shutters, enhancing and complementing each other’s features.

For instance, both hardwood shutters and custom drapery (especially drapery made from heavier fabrics) make good sound blocking window coverings, offer a spectrum of light control with insulating properties. The drapes block any light leaks, and the shutters add a greater range of insulation and light control.

For bedrooms, this translates into a window treatment system that is able to better meet the needs of residents including blocking more light for darker interiors, absorbing sound for quieter rooms, and insulating windows for better temperature control.
