Best Light Blocking Shades

To an extent, all shades block a percentage of sunlight. However, there are tell-tale signs that indicate that your current shades aren’t blocking enough unwanted light. For example, do you wake up throughout the night because of irritating lighting washing over your face? Does your house feel warm when you run errands despite shutting your shades to block the intense sunshine? Finally, are you facing constant glare on your screens even when the shades are closed?

At All About Blinds, we are happy to share some of the best light-blocking shades in our Hunter Douglas collection. Some of our favorite options include the following:

Option 1: Cellular Shades

Also known as honeycomb shades, cellular shades are one of the best light-blocking shades from Hunter Douglas thanks to their carefully crafted fabrics. Available in several opacities, including room darkening, Hunter Douglas cellular shades block unwanted light from streaming through your windows while providing added insulation that keeps your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter, naturally.

Option 2: Roller Shades

Another one of the best light-blocking shades from Hunter Douglas is Roller shades. Capable of preventing unwanted light from streaming through your windows, these shades are versatile and stylish, making them a popular choice for those who want extensive customization. They come in various fabrics, including blackout materials, and can be customized to fit any window size.

Option 3: Roman Shades

Hunter Douglas Roman shades are another great option for the best light-blocking shades. Offering a classic and elegant look while providing effective light blocking, these shades provide a feeling of uniformity that works perfectly in minimalist and contemporary homes. Roman shades from Hunter Douglas come in light-filtering and blackout fabrics, allowing you to choose the level of darkness you desire for each room in your home.

Option 4: Shades Layered with Curtains

If you desire ultimate light control, pairing your favorite Hunter Douglas room-darkening shade with custom drapery is a fantastic choice. Since the fabric of these custom draperies is thicker, layering them with your preferred shade provides even more insulation, shade, and privacy. Of course, when you want to let a little light in, these draperies compliment the shades they are covering beautifully—even when they are pushed to the side.
