Peaceful Slumber with Bedroom Window Shades

Of all the things we do in our bedrooms, the most important and most consistent is sleep. A good night’s sleep can make a huge difference resting our bodies, refreshing our minds, and preparing us for the upcoming day. There are many elements that go into transforming your bedroom into a slumber oasis, including the bed and bedding choice, to keep you comfortable, a color palette to set the mood, and the right set of bedroom window shades to help control exterior and interior environmental elements.

Environmental Control with Bedroom Window Shades

Light Control

For most of us, it’s in darkness that we find sleep. So, when selecting new bedroom window shades look for blackout treatments that can better deflect or absorb incoming sunlight to create darker interiors. Multi-layered window fashions, like drapes over shutters, are another great solution for light blocking window coverings in the bedroom because the two treatments work in tandem to enhance their combined blackout capabilities.

Temperature Control

For the best night’s sleep, most find that a temperature between 60 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit in the bedroom is ideal with 65 degrees being the most popular temperature for sleeping. So, whether you need to keep the heat out or the cold in to achieve that dream temperature range, bedroom window shades can help. Especially if those shades have insulating powers, like honeycomb shades, to block the up to 30% of energy transfer that can occur through household windows.

Sound Control

A peaceful slumber chamber is most often also a quiet one. Thanks to the unique construction of honeycomb shades, with interior pockets of insulating air, you can not only regulate the temperature in a room but also improve the acoustics. Honeycomb shades dampen outside noise absorbing up to 70% of incoming sound waves for a quieter, more peaceful bedroom ambiance.

Aesthetic Control

Another key part to creating a tranquil slumber chamber where you want to lay your head down at night is aesthetic control. It can be hard to relax in a space whose design overwhelms you or whose color choice creates chaos instead of calm. For bedroom window shades consider using blues or greens because those colors have been shown to have a calming effect on people. And style doesn’t have to be sacrificed for color choice when the fabric library at Hunter Douglas contains hundreds of choices for their fabric-based bedroom window shades.
