A good night’s sleep is key to maintaining optimal health and wellness, which is why it’s important to make sure your room is setup for sleep. From infants to adults, a dark room is key to falling and staying asleep. And the best way to achieve the darkest room possible is with blackout window treatments.
What types of window treatments are the best for room darkening?
Blackout curtains and shades are the best window treatment styles for room darkening. Homeowners can either choose a room-darkening fabric like velvet for their drapery or opt for an additional blackout liner for more sheer fabrics like linen or woven woods.
Proper installation is also essential for maximizing room darkness. To reduce light leaks, window treatments should be custom made for the window. If you’re choosing curtains, specialized custom drapery hardware will also need to be installed.
What window treatments are the worst for room darkening?
Window treatments with slats, like blinds and shutters tend to have the biggest light leaks and therefore won’t offer complete blackout benefits. However, when combined with room-darkening custom drapery, homeowners can then get the best of both window treatment styles.
