Are Blackout Shades Necessary?
Ah, light. Whether from the natural shine of the sun or the sparkling city outside our windows, it surrounds us all the time. Of course, anything in excess can start to weigh on you. For example, sun streaming into your baby's room during their mid-day nap can be challenging. Bright street lamps streaming into your window while you get to sleep at night can rob you of precious Zzzs. Car headlamps can cause annoying glare during your family movie nights.
The solution? Blackout shades.
Blackout Shades 101
When considering whether or not blackout shades are worth it, you might ask, "Don't all shades provide some sort of light blockage?" While the answer is technically yes, the degree to which that shade blocks light varies drastically.
While regular shades provide moderate light blockage, blackout shades block out nearly all external light, acting as a barrier against these disruptions to create a dark and tranquil atmosphere.
Many Hunter Douglas blackout shades come in varying degrees of opacity, allowing you to enjoy your perfect levels of light blockage. A lighter opacity will still let natural light in, whereas a darker opacity will block out a more substantial amount.
Best Rooms for Blackout Shades
There is no "right" or "wrong" place to put your blackout shades. However, some rooms reap the most benefits.
The more obvious room in your home for blackout shades will be bedrooms and nurseries. Even if your regular shades are closed, trace amounts of natural or artificial light can disrupt your REM sleep. This will make you groggy despite getting eight or nine hours of sleep. Adding blackout shades eradicates these small amounts of light to achieve deep, rejuvenating sleep.
Other excellent rooms for blackout shades are media rooms and offices. Glare from the sun or streetlamps can make it hard to see the screen in front of you. With blackout shades, you can enjoy a glare-free environment that makes consuming entertainment or working in your home office better.
Additional Benefits
Beyond sleep and screen time, blackout shades increase energy efficiency and privacy. These window coverings provide an effective barrier against the sun's heat during hot summer days and prevent heat loss during colder months, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.
Additionally, blackout shades offer a shield against prying eyes. This lets you move about your home or vacation without worrying about who can see inside.
