Sound Dampening Shades for a Quieter Home Near Fletcher, NC
There are countless reasons people look for ways to make their home a quieter, more peaceful place. Now that so many people are working from home, a home office that isn’t full of street noises, highway sounds, or even the fun, distracting sounds of the family or pets outside is ideal. Of course, one of the most common reasons for seeking ways to reduce home noise is to create a quiet, sleep-friendly place for children and adults.
No matter where you live, when you’re trying to sleep, even the smallest of noises from outdoors can be enough to disrupt your slumber. Luckily, at Blinds and Designs in Fletcher, North Carolina, we’ve got Hunter Douglas sound-dampening window shades that are perfect for absorbing unwanted noise while still looking stylish in your home.
Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades for Quieter Rooms
Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades consist of a shaped design of innovative honeycomb-shaped cells. These cells act as sound-absorbing air pockets, so you’ll be bothered less by distracting outdoor noises while still having the freedom to take in the view or bask in natural light when you want it. Not only do the honeycomb air pockets absorb sound, but they also help keep your space cool in the summer and warm in the winter by not allowing the transfer of air moving in and out of windows.
Duette® Cellular Shades come in dozens of color choices, from light pastels to dark and soft neutrals. The versatility of these shades makes them a customer favorite as they allow you to cover up your windows, lessen sound, and create a darker environment when needed. They also enable beautiful levels of light when you let it in.
Hunter Douglas Solera® Roman Shades for Stylish Sound Absorption
If you take the lightweight look and energy efficiency of honeycomb shades and combine them with the luxurious look of Roman shades, you’ll have Hunter Douglas Solera® Roman Shades. You can choose from a wide variety of colors for these soft, sculpted shades. They’re also cordless, making them great for rooms where pets and children frequent. Choose from many fabric opacities for the light levels and design that best fits your space. These stylish sound-dampening shades provide insulation and comfort for keeping warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Both the Solera® Roman Shades and Duette® Cellular shades will help you create the quieter space you need for work, sleep, relaxation, or focus. You can take your room perfecting even further as both options are available with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation. Control the opening and closing of your sound-absorbing shades with the included remote, or use your smart device and the PowerView app to schedule your shades to open and close at various times throughout the day.
Adding Hunter Douglas sound-dampening shades with automation is an excellent feature for rooms where children and babies nap. You can schedule the room to be dark before they even enter and lighten when nap time is over.
