Our expert team will help you find energy-efficient shades and room-darkening window treatments that enhance your sleep.

What to Look for in Winter Window Treatments for Bedrooms

Consistently getting good sleep impacts every system in your body in truly incredible ways. For example, your overall health improves, stress decreases, and blood sugar lowers.

Types of Energy-Efficient Winter Window Treatments

Here are a few types of window treatments that can help you sleep restfully at night and even help lower your energy bills over time:

Energy-Efficient Shades

Cellular or honeycomb shades are the most energy-efficient window treatments available. These shades comprise folded fabric to form honeycomb-like cells. When hot air tries to pass through, the cells inflate with trapped air and press against your window to insulate it and keep your space comfortable. The insulation blocks outside noise, so your room remains quieter, too.

Another stylish, energy-efficient option for winter window treatments is Roman shades. Made from heavy fabrics that fold over, they have an elegant, classic look and insulate your windows, prevent heat transfer, and block noise.

Energy-Efficient Shutters

Shutters are also energy-efficient because instead of going over your window, they’re set into the window frame, eliminating cracks and other things that could let cool air in and out. Their sturdy louvers or slats also prevent heat exchange when they’re closed.

Additionally, if you opt for ones made of genuine hardwood, like Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters, the real wood acts as a natural insulator.

Energy-Efficient Drapes

Draperies, such as Carole™ Fabrics custom drapes, add an extra layer, providing an ideal atmosphere, less light, and a layer of style and visual warmth. Layering your drapes with blinds or shutters can help create a better sleeping environment and cozy space.

Why Choose Room-Darkening Window Treatments

A window treatment’s material is what makes or breaks the room-darkening feature. For our wide collection of shades, you can select the opacity, which ranges from sheer to room-darkening. Room-darkening shades block up to 99% of light, including artificial light like streetlights and natural sunlight.

Shutters and blinds reduce light and provide privacy. While blinds provide some room-darkening benefits, they can still let light through at the sides and string openings. Layering window coverings, like drapes, can help correct this challenge.
