What is the Best Blackout Solution for Bedrooms?

Minimizing light in the bedroom is one element of creating a sleep-friendly bedroom. SelectBlinds offers several blackout solutions for bedrooms, so there’s a style for every interior! Let’s dive in!

Our Top Blackout Window Covering Solutions

No-Drill Cordless Complete Blackout Cellulars

This honeycomb shade is the epitome of blackout cellular shades. It completely eliminates the typical glow around window coverings, making them perfect for bedrooms. Side tracks provide a clean, minimal look and blocks out 100% of light, helping enhance your sleep quality.

This single-cell shade is also certified by an Oxford University lab to provide 30% energy savings and 30% noise reduction. Choose from warm colors, aesthetic micro stripes and playful mini ripples. The track color is automatically selected to complement your chosen fabric color.

Cordless Blackout Cellular Shades

Create a sleep-friendly bedroom by blocking up to 99% of incoming light with these 3/4″ single-cell pleats. After 25 hours of research and testing, The New York Times’ Wirecutter rated this shade as the best blackout shade of the year. The energy-efficient cells can also help you save on heating and cooling costs, and they act as a buffer to outside noise.

More Blackout Options for Bedrooms

Blackout Curtains

Curtains add a touch of elegance and coziness to your bedroom. Upgrade to a blackout liner to effectively block out light and add another layer of insulation to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Modern Light Filtering/Blackout TriShades

The Modern Light Filtering/Blackout TriShades is a great option if you still want to allow light in the room. The top half of the cellular shade is made of light-filtering material, and the bottom half is made of blackout material. You can customize your lighting by adjusting the sections however you want, either for full light-filtering, full blackout, or somewhere in between.

Blackout Window Shades

If cellular shades and curtains aren’t your style, SelectBlinds offers several other blackout shades.

  • Blackout roller shades, with their simplicity and effectiveness, are a popular option for blocking out light.
  • Roman shades offer a softer look, combining the elegance of drapery with the functionality of a shade. Add a blackout liner to reduce incoming light.
  • Woven wood shades bring a natural, textured element to your space. A blackout liner helps prevent light from seeping through the woven shade.

However, if these shades are mounted on the inside of the window frame, there will be a small glow on the sides and bottom of the window covering. An outside mount can help minimize the “halo” effect, or you can layer these shades with curtains. Layering also allows you to enjoy natural light during the day and maintain privacy at night.
