When it comes to room-darkening window treatments, you’d think selecting an option would be easy. Simply pick a shade you like, get it in a dark opacity if available, and go on your merry way. If you are confident in what type of blackout shade you want, then more power to you! However, if you find yourself hesitating, there is probably a reason why. People often ask themselves if they need blackout liners or shades. After all, will room-darkening shades be too dark? Or are they just what you need? We are here to discuss blackout liners and blackout shades to help you decide which is best for your home’s needs.
Blackout Liners
When it comes to blackout liners or blackout shades, it’s helpful to know what each is capable of. Blackout liners are a removable fabric that keeps most light from streaming through your windows. Many Hunter Douglas shades have an available liner that can be added to your window treatment whenever you wish. By placing the liner against the shade’s fabric, you will notice an immediate increase in shade. This is perfect for movie nights to reduce glare or for daytime sleeping, nurseries, and days when you leave the house but don’t want the sun shining in all day, making it way too hot. If you want the benefit of blackout shades without the commitment of a blackout shade itself, then a liner is the perfect compromise to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Blackout Shades
On the other hand, if you want a shade that provides ample light blockage every time you shut it, you will love adding blackout shades to your home. Out of several Hunter Douglas shade collections, blackout shades are excellent for bedrooms, media rooms, nurseries, and any other room that needs extra shade. They provide a consistent, unparalleled ability to block light, so whenever you need it to be a little darker, just adjust your shades and you’re good to go. We can help you choose from several opacities to help get the exact amount of darkness you want out of your blackout shades. Instead of removing and storing a liner, you can block out unwanted light with a simple tug or pull of your shades. You can also select from several different fabric colors while still enjoying blackout benefits, allowing you to love looking at your shade just as much as you love using it.
