Choosing Blackout Shades for Better Bedrooms

Blackout shades are useful for bedrooms, nurseries, guest rooms, and media rooms, but blackout fabric alone is not the whole story.

Light gaps at the sides and top can affect the result. The best solution may involve outside mounting, side channels, layered drapery, or a different product type.

Inside mounts often look very clean, but they may allow more edge light. Outside mounts can cover more of the opening and improve room darkness when the wall space allows it.

A professional measurement helps match your privacy and darkness expectations to the right product configuration.
