Enjoy Peaceful Interiors with Sound Absorbing Shades
The key to peaceful home lies in creating spaces that feel special and unique, protected from the outside world. Your window coverings should give you options to enjoy your views and provide dependable privacy for you and your family around the clock. The right window treatments play a key role in creating peace of mind for homeowners—whether it is by blocking noise for quieter interiors or obscuring the view for privacy.
At The Drapery Shop, we offer blinds, shades, shutters, and custom drapes so that you can explore all the options we have available. Some of our favorite sound absorbing shades and privacy shades are from the Hunter Douglas collection. Here are our top three window treatments that can add peace, quiet, privacy, and light control to your interiors.
Sound Absorbing Shades
There's nothing worse than the noise and chaos of the outside world intruding on your home’s inner peace. Select types of window coverings are innately better at noise-blocking than other window treatments because of their base materials or unique construction.
Our favorite sound absorbing shades include styles of drapery, cellular honeycomb shades, and hardwood shutters.
- Carole Fabrics™ Custom Drapes: It’s the fabric layers of custom drapery that make them good sound absorbing window treatments—the heavier the fabric and denser the weave, the better the textile is at blocking or absorbing sound waves.
- Duette® Cellular Shades: The honeycomb like construction of cellular shades gives the treatment its renowned insulating abilities and also the power to absorb sound for less noise intrusion and better interior acoustics.
- Heritance® Wood Shutters: Wood is a natural sound absorber and excellent acoustic tool that interior designers use to create stylish noise-blocking window treatments. Shutters lay down a solid barrier over windows or doors to block light and sound.
Window Coverings that Prioritize Privacy
It's hard to feel relaxed at home when it feels like you’re being watched. Exposed windows can leave folks feeling less than secure, but that’s easily remedied with window treatments that provide a range of privacy and security measures.
Plantation Shutters
Thanks to the louvered design of plantation style shutters, this hardy treatment is able to provide privacy even when partially open. Tilting louvers allow homeowners to balance their specific needs for light and privacy easily finding an equilibrium to meet their unique and often changing household demands.
Sheer Shades
Sheer materials offer a unique arrangement of features, combining light-loving sheer materials that look ethereal and provide great views and paiting them with opaque vanes that offer real world security. Sheer shades softly filter sunlight for warm, welcoming interior lighting and they have an open and airy feel that makes rooms feel spacious. At the same time, they also blur the view in providing privacy without making rooms feel dark or closed off.
PowerView® Automated Shades
For unquestionable privacy, upgrade to PowerView® Automation, a motorized window treatment system that can automatically open and close shades in time with your daily schedule so you’re never again caught exposed with your shades up. And since automated shades move whether you are at home or not, they create the appearance of occupancy when your home is otherwise empty, which helps ward off would-be intruders. PowerView® Automation is compatible with a wide range of noise blocking window treatments including cellular shades and drapery as well as vinyl shutters and sheer shades.
