If you want to sleep in a darkened space, read on! Up next, the second installment of this two part blog series will talk about treatments for homeowners who favor more light in their rooms. So stay tuned!

Window Treatments Best for Your Sleep Style

Part 1: The Darker, the Better

If you are one of the aforementioned sleepers who need a darkened room, shades are the best way to go. This is because of one simple fact: they are in one piece.

The curved design of some blinds can do similar things to the amount of light in a room. However, shades are still your best bet because they won’t warp and ruin your sleep!

Shades can be ordered with different needs in mind, such as room-darkening. The two main components of all window treatments are what they are made of and how they are constructed.
