Better sleep matters. Daily moods, energy, productivity and overall happiness can be dependent upon a good night of sleep. Room darkening shades and Blackout blinds can create the ideal atmosphere in the bedrooms of your Ontario home. You can take a nap even on the brightest day. Sleeping in is a whole lot easier–even get the kids to sleep longer in the morning. Blackout solutions offer great options for media rooms, too. Turn your bright living room into a movie-watching sanctuary on Sundays with the family with help from Night & Day Decor.

Room Darkening VS Blackout

Blackout is the term used to describe a space where it’s difficult to see in front of you. Room darkening describes a space where “most” of the light is blocked. There are a number of factors that can affect the “darkness” of your space. Fabric opacity, or how much light gets through, is one aspect. The other is influenced by the type of product you choose to cover your windows. And, the make-up of your windows can play into the results, whether you need to have your room darkening shades inside or outside mounted.

Dual Shades

The dual shades feature has increased the experience of Blackout Shades, simply because this allows light-filtering shades to now offer a room darkening experience, like Dual Sheer Shades. It’s quickly becoming a favorite, since it offers the widest range of light control. With dual shades, you get two shades on the same headrail. They operate independent of each other. When you want to enjoy your view and bring in natural light, the first shade is lowered into place. When you want darkness and light-blocking, you lower the secondary shade, a blackout roller shade, into place behind the first.

Light Gaps

Light gaps occur along the sides of your window shades, creating slivers of light. This can occur due to a number of reasons: the fit of the window shades, the way the shades are mounted, the type the window covering you’ve chosen and the framing of your windows. In most cases, it shouldn’t bother you. But, if this is a concern, before you order, consider these options: Choose a window covering that offers a channel that fits the frame of your window, like LightLock, which seals out the light. Consider window shades that have the smallest light gaps, such as our Designer Roller Shades. Talk to your window covering specialist about how they will be installed to get the best results, such as inside mount. And, finally, by adding side draperies, you can enhance the style of your space, while also blocking that halo of light.
