Room Darkening Blinds and Shades for Bedrooms

Choosing window coverings for your bedrooms requires the right blend of comfort, style, and light control. Room darkening blinds and shades can keep your bedroom dark and cool so you can get your best night’s sleep. 

Benefits of Room Darkening Window Treatments

Selecting room-darkening bedroom window treatments can significantly improve your ability to fall asleep, no matter what time you choose to go to bed. If you have a third-shift job and need to sleep during the day, room-darkening blinds and shades make that transition easier since they can block the sunlight. However, they can also help improve your sleep any time.

From a scientific perspective, a darker room encourages the release of melatonin, so you fall asleep faster and deeper. Light exposure, even if it just comes from streetlights or headlights, can interrupt your body’s sleep schedule. A deeper sleep also has numerous health benefits, including lowering stress, improving depression, and reducing the risk of heart disease.

Best Room Darkening Blinds

When it comes to room-darkening window treatments, blinds can be an excellent option, especially wood and faux wood blinds. They are constructed with solid materials that help to reduce the amount of light that comes through the room. Choose blinds with decorative tape options that cover the cord holes that traditionally goes through the slats. These can create room-darkening conditions, especially when combined with blackout drapery.

Modern vertical blinds can be a room-darkening solution that add luxury and style to your bedroom while simultaneously creating that darker environment. The benefit of blinds is you can also quickly and easily enjoy natural light. However, vertical window blinds are best on sliding glass doors or large, expansive windows.

Best Room-Darkening Shades

For most other windows, shades made from room-darkening or blackout fabrics are a better option. The thicker fabrics of room-darkening shades also contribute to a quieter, cooler environment, which can also improve your sleep!

Several styles of window shades also create a room-darkening atmosphere with the addition of liners that act as a second layer of protection against the sun or street lights. Consider:

• Blackout cellular shades
• Blackout roller shades
• Natural woven and pleated shades with blackout lining.
