Window Treatments To Dim Your Rooms in Del Mar, CA

Light-Control & Privacy Options for Window Treatments

Privacy and light control options can be one of the most important factors when deciding which new window treatments to purchase. Whether you are looking to add privacy without sacrificing your great Del Mar view, or you work at night and need to sleep during the day, 3 Blind Mice can help you find the stylish and functional window treatment to fit your needs.

All window coverings offer some level of privacy and light-control by covering the window, but the degree to which a particular window treatment will block light and prevent prying eyes can vary greatly between different types of window coverings, as well as style & fabric options for the same type of window covering. Light filtering, and room darkening, blackout shades are three main options for privacy & light-control with your window treatments.

Light-Filtering Vs. Room Darkening Shades

Light Filtering Shades & Sheers

At the lightest end of the spectrum, light filtering window treatments are perfect for rooms where you need to add some privacy while keeping the decor light and airy, such as your den, kitchen, and/or living room. Light filtering shades and sheers are not only good for setting the mood, these treatments come in a variety of fabrics, patterns, colors, shapes, and sizes, making them a great way to compliment existing curtains & draperies.

Different types of light filtering window treatments include sheer shades, horizontal blinds, solar roller shades & screens, woven woods, cellular shades and some Roman shades. If you are keen on the cellular shades, they are available with either light-filtering or room-darkening fabric as well.

Room Darkening Shades & Drapes

These are the middle ground of shades for darkening a room. If you are looking to darken a room to get a good nights’ sleep or to watch your favorite movie and still have enough light to see where you're stepping these are the perfect solution. Room darkening shades (and blinds) are most commonly used for bedrooms or living areas where light control is important.

Options include room darkening cellular shades, room darkening sheer shades, woven woods with room darkening privacy liners, curtains with a blackout lining, modern Roman shades, and vertical blinds.

Blackout Window Treatments

These are another option for reducing light from entering your rooms. Blackout Shades are used for when you need a completely black room and is most often used for rooms such as nurseries, bedrooms, photographer’s dark rooms, and movie/media rooms.
