From early morning light streaming into bedrooms to intense afternoon sun heating up living areas, managing light is a daily concern for many. That’s where room-darkening window shades come in. At Blinded By Delight Window Coverings & Design near San Antonio and Boerne, TX, we can help you design custom room-darkening shades to create calmer, more comfortable homes.

Room-darkening shades are made from fabric that blocks 90-99% of light. They’re different from blackout shades, which have special features to keep light from coming in around the sides. Room-darkening shades provide privacy throughout the day and can keep your home more comfortable by reducing heat gain and loss.

Custom room-darkening shades can be tailored to fit your windows precisely, so they perform better and look more polished than off-the-shelf options. They also come in a wider selection of colors, patterns, and fabrics. Room-darkening shades don’t have to be made of dark fabric; it's about the weave and how much light passes through.

San Antonio’s heat is no joke, which makes room-darkening shades ideal for this part of Texas. They:

• Create a Sleep-Friendly Atmosphere: Room-darkening shades help bedrooms block light and heat, supporting better naps and more restful nights for the whole family.
• Contribute to Cooler, Darker, Living Spaces: Room-darkening shades reduce solar heat gain, keeping your home cooler during the hottest parts of the day without running the air conditioner nonstop.
• Privacy Without Feeling Closed In: In tightly-packed neighborhoods, room-darkening shades provide privacy without sacrificing natural light.
