Window treatments can help beautifully diffuse light during the day, but if the window is in a media room, a nursery, or your bedroom, you might prefer to always have that window treatment keep things as dark as possible. At F&R Interiors serving the greater Los Angeles area, we carry the full line of Hunter Douglas window treatments, including some solutions for the best room-darkening around. Read on to learn more, and be sure to speak with one of our specialists to see these products in person.

Shades for Blocking Light

You’ll find that all window treatments offer some amount of light-blocking, and some are better at it than others. Typically, fabric type and color dictate how well the product will block light. Sheer fabrics filter light, and semi-opaque fabrics offer some privacy protection and some filtering. Opaque fabrics block the most light, but they don’t do it completely. Instead, you’ll need to check out some other considerations. To cut down on the light that can enter from the sides, you can mount the treatment outside of the window frame instead of inside it or add side panels or drapery. You can also add a room-darkening liner, available on most Hunter Douglas shades; the liner can be sewn onto the shade or you can have the option of letting it operate independently (DuoLite®). Hunter Douglas has also designed some ways to reduce gaps, such as the Duette® LightLock™ system, which is available with most Duette® products and works to absorb light and prevent it from entering the room.

Custom Window Treatments

Solid shades are your best bet for room-darkening treatments. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are made with luxurious folds that help reduce incoming light. Roller shades also reduce light, especially if you choose a specific room-darkening fabric. And cellular shades, like Duette® Honeycomb Shades, give you the added benefit of insulating the window, helping to keep your energy costs down, even when it’s very hot outside.
