What Are Room Darkening Shades

Room darkening shades are window treatments designed to significantly reduce the amount of light entering a room, typically blocking 95-99% of light. This positions them between blackout shades, which block 100% of light, and light filtering shades, which diffuse light and block less than 95%. They provide an ideal balance of light control and ambiance, offering a cozy environment with reduced glare and a soft glow of natural light.
