You settle down in front of the TV to watch a movie. It’s a beautiful day outside, but you’ve been looking forward to this film for a long time.

There are several things to consider when choosing cellular shades. Room darkening is a top priority, especially when installing the shades in media rooms or bedrooms. However, you also have to consider the aesthetic appeal of your window covering. Thankfully, cellular shades look great and mesh with most interior design choices.

What are room darkening cellular shades?

As the name implies, room-darkening cellular shades are designed to block the majority of light from entering a room. The best of these shades can block up to 99% of light. This blocking ability makes them different from standard cellular shades, which usually diffuse light rather than block it.

What makes a cellular shade room darkening?

The materials used for the shades help them with room darkening. Regular cellular shades are made using fairly thin materials, which are often woven to allow some light to filter through. Room darkening shades feature thicker materials with fewer gaps.
