Sleep Better with Blackout Cellular Shades

Many homeowners need completely dark rooms to sleep well. They rely on their window treatments to keep their rooms protected from the light. Many room darkening window treatment styles were utilitarian in the past, but now, Hunter Douglas has your windows covered in style. Our design experts at Jackie and Bill's Drapery & Interiors can be your partners on your journey towards a more restful home. With new blackout cellular window shades, you won’t feel limited when shopping for these functional products.

Hunter Douglas Cellular Shades

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades were one of the first honeycomb shades introduced to the market. They provide exceptional energy efficiency in cold and warm weather. The design traps air in pockets, creating insulation at your windows.

These shades come in over 150 luxurious fabrics with different opacities. The tighter weaves trap more light, and that’s an excellent start. But like any other window treatment, there can be gaps that let in some light. Duette® Cellular Shades offers options for rooms where total darkness is essential—like bedrooms, nurseries, or home theaters.

Duolite® for Room-Darkening Cellular Shades

The Duolite® system is a great add-on for many Hunter Douglas shade styles, including Duette® Cellular Shades. It cleverly combines light-filtering and room-darkening fabric panels into one shade roller, allowing flexibility for daytime light filtering and light blocking at night. It performs like two different window treatments; adjust one or both fabrics for the desired effect.

LightLock™ for Blackout Cellular Shades

This is the ultimate blackout shade we recommend to light-sensitive homeowners. Duette® Cellular Shades are offered with the LightLock™ system, a trademarked design that’s optimized to absorb or deflect almost all incoming light. The U-shaped channels feature a micro-ridged surface that traps and absorbs light; brightness doesn’t leak through the sides.

LightLock™ is ideal for shift workers, young children, or anyone who struggles with early morning sunlight or nighttime glare. The system prevents light leakage along the sides, creating even darker rooms than standard blackout shades.

P.S.: Both of these blackout shade systems are available with manual or motorized operation.

Additional Tips for Better Sleep with Blackout Cellular Window Shades

Our expert team shares these tips for even better sleep:

• Layer Your Window Treatments: Combine blackout cellular window shades with drapes or curtains for extra insulation and bonus design points.
• Inside Mounts: Inside-mounted shades can provide a tighter fit, reducing gaps where light might creep in.
• Coordinate with Wall Colors: Window treatments in tones similar to your walls can make a room feel more unified and calming.
• Use Automation for Consistency: Motorized options allow you to schedule your shades to lower at bedtime and rise with your morning routine, setting a sleep rhythm.
