Composed of two cellular honeycomb fabrics that can be moved independently, one for light filtering and another for blackout. Offering varying levels of light control and privacy, allows you to switch between the light filtering and blackout options at ease, providing you with precise control over the amount of light entering your room and the level of privacy you require. When you want to take advantage of natural light in the daytime, you can use the light filtering fabric; when you need complete darkness during the night or at movie time, you can use the blackout fabric.

FAQs
Do cellular shades help save energy?
Yes — cellular shades are one of the most energy-efficient window treatments available.
Their honeycomb-shaped cells trap air, creating an insulating barrier between your window and the room.
In summer, they help block heat from entering your home, reducing the need for air conditioning. In winter, they help retain indoor warmth.
Many homeowners notice lower energy bills and more consistent indoor temperatures after installing cellular shades.
What’s the difference between single cell and double cell?
Both single cell and double cell cellular shades are designed to improve comfort and energy efficiency — the right choice depends on your needs, budget, and climate.
Single cell shades feature one layer of honeycomb pockets. They offer reliable insulation, a clean profile, and great value, making them a popular choice for everyday use and moderate climates.
Double cell shades include two layers of air pockets, creating an extra barrier against heat and cold. This design enhances insulation, helping maintain more stable indoor temperatures — especially in rooms with strong sun exposure or more extreme weather conditions.
Many homeowners choose double cell shades for sun-facing rooms or summer heat control, while using single cell shades in other areas to stay within budget.
Are blackout cellular shades better for insulation?
Yes — blackout cellular shades generally provide better insulation than light-filtering options.
Their denser fabric helps reduce heat transfer more effectively. In general, blackout fabrics have a thermal resistance (R-value) of around 0.7–1.2 m²·K/W, with thicker fabrics offering stronger insulation performance.
Color can also play a role: lighter shades tend to reflect more heat, while darker shades absorb more light and warmth.
For enhanced energy efficiency, pairing blackout fabric with a double-cell structure can further improve insulation — especially during hotter months.
Are cellular shades a good choice for noise reduction?
Yes — cellular shades can help reduce noise levels in your home.
Their honeycomb structure traps air within the cells, which helps absorb and dampen sound. While they won’t completely block out noise, they can noticeably soften outside sounds and create a quieter, more comfortable indoor environment.
They’re a great option for anyone who values a more peaceful space — especially light sleepers or households with young children, such as nurseries.
Which rooms benefit most from honeycomb shades?
Cellular shades are versatile and work well in almost any room, but they’re especially beneficial in:
Bedrooms – for better insulation, light control, and privacy
Living rooms – to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the day
Home offices – to reduce glare and improve focus
Sun-exposed rooms – to block heat and protect interiors from UV damage
They’re particularly valuable in rooms with large windows or strong sunlight exposure, where energy efficiency makes the biggest difference.

I bought this light‑filtering and blackout shade for our master bedroom, and it works great. I chose it mainly to integrate with our Home Assistant Z‑Wave system, and the integration was seamless. Now we can automate opening and closing the blind based on sunlight, a feature I’ve wanted for years.
Both shades are listed as cream, but the light‑filtering one matches that description while the blackout shade appears much more tan than expected. Delivery took longer than hoped, though it was reasonable. Given how well the shade performs, I plan to purchase many more for the house to automate all our window blinds.
I bought a day/night shade for my kitchen. It arrived quickly and contained all mounting hardware and a usb-c charging cable. A stick-up template was great for getting the mounting holes for the brackets right. The shade looks good and is quieter than I expected. Per the instructions I used the button on the shade to wake it from sleep mode. The remote control was able to control the shade immediately after I installed the two AAA batteries.
I have had it connected by z-wave to my Hubitat C-7 hub using the standard mesh (not long range) connection. It has been running rock solid for 4 weeks. I am using the community driver by djw1191. Just search the Hubitat forums for "levitate". I am using the Hubitat Rule Machine App to open and close daily based on sunrise and sunset. I added the shade to my dashboard for manual control and status.
I liked the shade enough that I bought 3 more.
I love this shade. It gives me the privacy I want with letting the light in like my wife wants. All at the push of a button. I do wish I would have gotten the version that worked with my smart home but since I was just doing one to give it a try I didnt want to spend the extra on it. I’m gearing up to do the rest of the house now.
Absolutely LOVE these shades. After replacing the window in this bedroom, I was on the hunt for something I could automate to hopefully allow more light in during the day, but go full light blocking at night. There's a streetlight across the street that has been the Bane of my sleeping existence for the past couple of years on the old contractor blinds that were in the window. After going through tons of different options, I decided to give the Nowa Day/Night Cellular Shades a try with the top being Mirage Sheer, and the bottom being full light blocking. They work perfectly for my needs.
The Z-Wave motor paired instantly with Home Assistant, and was immediately controllable through dashboard and automations. Right now I have scenes set for daytime where the Sheer shade is fully (almost) extended, and privacy mode where the blackout is fully extended. You can see in the video the bottom of the shade is about 16 inches off the bottom window sill, but that is "cat" mode. Rather than having the kitties constantly trying to poke their head behind the shade, I just have it sit partially open so they can look out. At bedtime, it closes full to the sill.
On that note, construction of the Shades feels VERY well built, and measurements were spot on. I've got a little light bleed on the sides because the design of my window required an outside mount. I'm thinking of adding a little foam strip on the trim to block a bit more. Mounting was a snap, even for the rather large shade (65" wide by 75" high). Just mount the 3 brackets and the shades snap right in. The only challenge I had was nothing to do with the shades, and just because I had to mount the brackets on the trim molding (screws were long enough to go through to the framing so still very secure) which required some creative shims to get things level.
You can see the speed and hear the noise level of the motor in the video. I honestly can't remember which speed setting I was on when I took the video as I had been playing around, but I believe it was on the faster speed. Full open or close takes about 55 seconds all the way, or 45 in "cat" mode.
I opted for the solar panel option as this window gets a ton of daytime sun. The panel is indeed pretty large, but it is definitely efficient. By comparison, some Switchbot blind tilts I have need pretty direct sun to really charge (and yes, the panel is about a third the size). I noticed with the panel included with Smartwings, the charging light starts flashing as soon as the sun is up and well before it's come to shine fully on the window.
It took some time to sort through the options on the website - the search & filter could use some improvements. Measurements were spot on. Unit installed in minutes (if you can use a drill/driver). Having the remote pre-configured was great. Color etc. is accurate. I have not set up the device to use its "matter" automation capability yet. I hope that works well.
It was very nerve-racking to place such a big order for shades, but I must say I love the look of look of the day/night shades and they have been working perfectly!
It's working well and I like the overall function and style. One thing I would like is for you to make blinds in more colors as you are very limited to white/tan/ivory/grey - some yellow/green/terracotta/etc would be nice.
I originally saw a post on Reddit with someone sharing video of their SmartWings shades working. We needed something to fit out trapezoidal window and this was just the thing! We are happy so far and my husband set it up on Homekit, easy peasy.
Blinds are amazing and work great, but have to compliment the customer service even more. The service support given by SmartWings far exceeded anything I could ask for. Super impressed.
Have the blinds connected and control them via my Alexa for everything at thsi point through help of their amazing CS.
We ordered at least 20 window shades, including a mix of roller shades, Zebra shades, top-down bottom-up, and day/night cellular shades. They all work very well. The day/night cellular shade is our favorite—after testing one as a pilot, we ended up choosing mostly those for the common areas and bedrooms. Zebra shades are great for the bathrooms. Roller shades tend to leave a noticeable gap between the shade and the window.
Overall, I would give 5 stars—not just for the product quality, but also for the exceptional customer support. I’ve rarely seen such responsive and helpful service. They address concerns quickly and always provide practical solutions.
The blinds look good, are the perfect measurements, easy to install, and much quieter than the motorized shades I've had in the past. I've already ordered more.
