What’s your favorite part about summertime? We love spending time outdoors, soaking in the sunshine, and simply relaxing with friends and family. But, there is a downside…the sun sets later, making it hard to get settled in for the night, especially with kids! They don’t want to go to sleep when they see the sun still out. With the school year just around the corner, you need solutions that will get your family back on a schedule. The best room darkening features will give you everything you need. Take a look.
Darkness at Anytime of the Day

Bedtime has become quite the task. The sun sets later, which keeps you and your family awake. Nap times are even more challenging because the bright summer sun shines through your windows. The best room darkening shades will block out the sun with the smallest light gap, making your rooms dark and comfortable.
And, Light, Too!
You definitely need sleeping solutions, but what about during the day? You don’t need a cave-like environment all day long. The best room darkening features will give you the best of both worlds. You’ll have blackout when you need it, as well as filtered light and privacy control.

Consider adding dual shades to your design, or check out top down bottom up functioning. The sun streams across your ceiling, while the remaining section of your window stays covered by the shade. When it comes time to sleep, simply close your shades. Designer Banded Shades, featured here, are the newest option. Go from blackout to sheer, view-through with a quit rotation.
Keep Everyone on a Schedule
Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? Well, Hunter Douglas has made it easy with PowerView motorization. Let the PowerView app become your personal assistant.

You can create and save a schedule for school days that will open your shades at the same time every morning. Your family will start their day with fresh sunshine. Then, let PowerView get your bedtime routine started. You can even create “scenes” to adjust your shades using your smart device. Have a day off? Hit your “Sleep In” scene to enjoy some extra time in bed.
Prioritize Safety
If you have children or pets, you know that they explore everything. The last thing you need to worry about is having unsafe window treatments.

Your family’s safety is a priority to us, which is why we have cordless shades. With power shades or LiteRise, the whole family can adjust their window coverings easily and safely.
