Getting a good night’s sleep is essential to maintaining good health. Our sleeping patterns are significantly affected by the amount of light entering our sleeping space. Our bodies naturally crave a dark room for optimal sleep. That is why it is critical to protect our sleeping spaces from disturbances that interrupt this process.
If your sleeping space needs some help, you can help block light from entering the room by installing window treatments. Here are a few options that we recommend:
ROLLER SHADES
Blackout roller shades are a super simple and affordable option to block out light from things like street lights, passing cars or glare from the moon or rising sun. Rollers fit easily within a window frame and can be connected to a mount for a tighter fit. These roller shades offer a ton of privacy and comfort, which is needed to fully enjoy your space and keep your sleep from being disturbed.
Roller shades help regulate the temperature of the room by providing proper insulation. Regardless of the temperature outside, these window treatments will keep your home feeling comfortable all year long. During the day, they will help block out UV rays, protecting you from the harmful effects of the sun.
These shades will also keep your room totally dark so that you are able to fall asleep faster and stay asleep throughout the night. Roller shades are extremely durable and are capable of withstanding even the most extreme weather conditions.
CELLULAR SHADES
Cellular shades have a honeycomb design pattern that is one of the most popular styles of shades among homeowners. These shades are specifically designed for your bedrooms. Not only do these add a modern look to your space, but they are also extremely popular at keeping out light. These window treatments are energy-efficient and maximize the privacy of your space.
These shades are highly coveted because they offer the benefits of two styles of shade all wrapped in one window treatment. The sheer fabric lets in a ton of light during the day, while the blackout fabric helps you keep your room dark enough so that you sleep comfortably at night.
Another benefit of cellular shades is that they provide great insulation which helps lower your energy costs. This is because these window treatments have a high resistance to both heat and cold. They are also ultra-durable and come in a variety of colors and styles to help you create the perfect ambiance for your space.
Cellular shades even help with noise reduction by blocking out outside noises. If you live on a busy street, you will appreciate the peace and calm these shades create in your living space. This is especially beneficial to parents of small children who nap during the day. Your child will be able to enjoy plenty of rest since these window treatments help significantly with soundproofing.
ROMAN SHADES
Roman shades add a more stylish look to your bedroom, but with an added blackout liner, they are perfect for light control. During the day they protect against harmful UV rays that are emitted from the sun. If you’re looking to design a dark room, these shades will efficiently block out most of the light penetrating through your windows.
