SLEEK, STYLISH WINDOW BLACKOUT TREATMENTS FOR ULTIMATE PRIVACY

Blackout shades, also known as room-darkening shades, provide almost complete darkness in a room. These shades are commonly used in bedrooms, media rooms, and other rooms that require restricted light.

Blackout shades are generally a single, thicker piece of opaque fabric made for blocking all incoming light. They can also be motorized with brands like Lutron, Somfy, Rollease, and Hunter Douglas to fit your lifestyle. 

No matter the brand you choose, you’re in control with a remote or wall switch. You can completely darken your bedroom at night, and program them to open later in the morning to get extra sleep on the weekends. 

Create your ideal space with many fabrics and patterns to choose from at NY City Blinds. Our large selection of trending fabrics and styles meet any current décor theme and add the ideal touch of color, tone, and texture.

Blackout Blinds vs Room Darkening Shades

Blackout shades generally block 95-99% of the light from the outside when deployed. They are a great window treatment if you’re looking to sleep deeply or normalize a baby’s sleep schedule in the nursery room.

Room Darkening Blinds, on the other hand, usually block less than 95% of light. They’re a great solution if you’re looking for a darker, more private room without completely losing the benefits of some sunlight.
