Using Bedroom Shades and Custom Drapery for Better Sleep

If you are looking to create the ultimate slumber oasis in your bedroom, then remember these three things: keep it cool, keep it dark, and keep it quiet. With those three steps, sleep will be just a blanket pull away because, for most of us, sleeping is best in an environment that prioritizes temperature, light, and sound control.

In bedrooms, the biggest threat to those ideal sleeping conditions often comes from the outside world, with external noise and sunlight invading through bedroom windows. For South Carolina homeowners looking to gain better environmental control to protect their slumber chamber, our team at Blinds & Us Seneca can show you how the latest Hunter Douglas bedroom shades are equipped to protect your good night's sleep.

Add Insulation with Cellular Shades to Control Temperature

When it comes to insulation in bedroom shades, few come close to the power of a cellular honeycomb shade. With a cellular construction that creates a layer of air inside the shade itself to block energy transfer, cellular shades can regulate both the unwanted loss or gain of energy. As such, they make great tools in the bedroom to control temperature and maintain that ideal temperature for sleep. Hunter Douglas has two styles of cellular shades in their suite of window coverings:

  • Duette® Cellular Shades: The classic design for cellular shades with decades of energy-efficient engineering in every insulating air pocket. This type of cellular shade from Hunter Douglas can also be upgraded with the Duolite® system or LightLock® blackout system for additional light control.
  • Sonnette® Roller Shades: A modern iteration of cellular shades that brings together the internal cellular construction of honeycomb shades and the chic, streamlined style of roller shades. This model of hybrid roller shade from Hunter Douglas is also available in motorized styles.

Use Blackout Systems to Control Light with Hunter Douglas

Duolite® is an innovative blackout system that exponentially expands a window treatment’s ability to control light with the addition of a second, room-darkening shade that’s controlled through the same header unit. With both a light-filtering shade and a room-darkening shade in a single treatment, homeowners can create a wide range of interior lighting solutions, including, of course, blackout darkness for sleep. Duolite® is available in multiple styles of Hunter Douglas bedroom shades, including:

  • Vignette® Roman Shades: Bring the grace of Roman shades into the bedroom with Duolite® Roman shades that elevate light control without changing the treatment’s sculpted fabric style.
  • Duette® Cellular Shades: Combine light control with the best in insulation by upgrading cellular shades with the Duolite® system.
  • Designer Roller Shades: For a sleek style that grants you precise control, Duolite® roller shades allow for optimization of both style and performance.
  • Silhouette® Sheer Shades: With the use of translucent sheer materials Duolite® sheer shades offer layer upon layer of light control for soft filtration all the way through blackout darkness.

Reduce Noise with Hunter Douglas Custom Drapery

The final aspect of creating our perfect sleeping conditions is noise control, so we’re looking at ways to muffle or eliminate incoming sounds to create that tranquil atmosphere we’re looking for in bedrooms. We love custom drapery for sound control not only because their fabrics can absorb sound waves for quieter interiors and rooms with less echo but also because custom drapery is great in layered window fashions with cellular shades or Duolite® shades for elevated environmental control.
