There is no substitute for a good night of sleep. Being tired throughout the day affects your mood and productivity in all areas of life, so having a restful bedroom is so important. Several factors come into play when creating a relaxing bedroom, including the color palette and lighting, but none have the impact of window coverings. The White House Designs for Life designers share our three favorite restful window treatments to get great sleep.
Drapes
Drapery that just touches or “kisses” the floor is an exquisite look for both classic and contemporary styles. We love how easy it is to pair drapes with other window treatments. Layering shades with drapes is a great way to add texture to your space without overwhelming it and gives unparalleled functionality.
Cellular Shades
Duette® Cellular Shades add magnificent texture to a space and gently diffuse sunlight during the day. These shades also provide exceptional insulation and reduce noise for a more comfortable sleeping environment. The insulation of cellular shades makes your room more comfortable and makes your home more energy efficient.
If you’re wondering which is better regarding single cell vs. double cell shades- they’re both fantastic choices. Duette® Architella® Cellular Shades offer an additional layer of light and sound-reducing insulation. The optional LightLock® system reduces incoming light by up to 50% more than standard cellular shades, and no room is too dark for sleeping.
Roman Shades
Roman shades are an elegant choice for every bedroom, and Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are best-in-class when it comes to sophisticated windows. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades have no exposed rear cords, which gives your bedroom a clean aesthetic, and tidy rooms have been shown to create a calm mood. Believe it or not, they’re also an incredibly versatile window covering solution.
Blocking light is crucial to a restful bedroom, but daytime privacy is just as important. Consider the Top-Down/Bottom-Up system for your Roman shades to enjoy unfiltered sunlight without losing any privacy. You can also have a sheer front shade with an opaque rear shade when you opt for the Duolite® system or any two fabrics you love with the Two-on-One headrail operating system.
