Your bedroom is a place for relaxation and the room you should feel most comfortable in. When dressing your windows, it can be challenging to find the right window treatment. One that gives you maximum light and temperature control without completely closing the room in and obstructing views.

With a wide selection of blinds, shades and drapes Vancouver, Lux Blinds has a wide selection of fabric window dressings for those that love high-quality drapery.

Rooms in the home that benefit from darkness

Usually, media rooms with a tv and other electronics, nurseries and bedrooms largely benefit from being kept dark. Drapes that offer maximum light control will cut down on glare on the TV screen, and protect sunlight and heat from damaging your electronics. In the nursery, this means no disturbing light leaking through the windows for your baby, for a restful nights’ sleep. If you struggle with sleeping well throughout the night, it could be transformative for your sleep cycle and overall wellness.

Should I get room-darkening or blackout drapes?

While room-darkening fabrics soften sunlight up to 75%, blackout fabrics block light completely.

The thick fabric that blackout drapes Vancouver are made from is excellent at insulating noise and keeping your room dark and quiet all throughout the night and into the early morning as the outside world gets louder.

Although room-darkening drapes don’t block light 100%, they are great for keeping the light in a room at a comfortably-dark level.

Which rooms could benefit from sheer drapes?

Sheer drapes can be used as a layer underneath blackout or room-darkening drapes, combined in one beautiful window treatment. This gives you complete control over the amount of light that filters into your home. Want as much of that morning sunlight as possible? Draw open your room-darkening drapes so the sheer shades can filter in plenty of sunlight. Want to keep your bedroom or living room cool during the hottest parts of the day? Draw your drapes closed.
