Darkening A Room: Which Window Dressings Do You Use?

There are many individuals who enjoy a dark room. There are many reasons why these individuals may enjoy it as well. Some people find the lack of light comfortable and soothing while others would say it makes it easier to work in that particular space. Still there are other individuals who enjoy a dark room simply because the less light that enters the room the less heat enters the room.

For individuals who enjoy dark rooms or look forward to enjoying one the question comes down to what type of shades, drapery, blinds, or shutters they want to utilize to achieve the right amount of darkening.

While draperies, especially those of a darker color, absorbed quite a bit of light they do allow a fair amount of light into a room because they do not sit directly against a window and light escapes from behind drapery as well as its sides. With window blinds individuals will find that although they can darken the room significantly, light tends to seep through blinds even when they're closed firmly. Shutters also do a good job of blocking out light but do allow some light to escape into the rooms in which they are used.

The type of window dressing an individual want to use will depend greatly on how much light they want to allow into a room and what type of mood they are trying to create. Should you be unsure of which one you need to use please be sure to contact us so that we may help.
