Best Light Control Solutions for Homes near Boston, MA
Barrows Custom Window Treatments • August 28, 2020
Many people simply think of their window treatments in terms of adding privacy to their home or a piece of decor. While both of these are true when it comes to custom window treatments, they are also essentially light fixtures for your home. No, your shades or shutters aren’t light bulbs, but you can control the level of natural light in your home by carefully choosing the right window treatments. And thanks to the clever light control solutions from Hunter Douglas, you can find the perfect window treatments to precisely control light in any room.
Custom Shades
While custom shades are big on style, they aren’t exactly known for being very flexible when it comes to controlling light. But when you browse the exciting options available from Hunter Douglas, you’ll quickly discover new possibilities for light control solutions, such as Designer Banded Shades. These custom roller shades provide both the smooth and crisp aesthetic of a stylish roller shade and flexible light control all at once thanks to the innovative two-panel design.
Custom sheers and shadings are another fantastic way to enhance the light control in your home. Styles like SIlhouette® Window Shadings
feature different layers for both shade adjustment and light-filtering, so you can direct light like blinds and diffuse light like sheer drapery all at once. These clever light control solutions also give you great views while allowing you to enjoy privacy during the day.
Duolite®
Choosing the optional Duolite® feature for your custom shades is a great way to improve light control for your home. As opposed to conventional blackout liners, this system works independently from your shades, so you can raise your blackout liner to let the sunshine through your sheer shades to create gentle light while always having a room-darkening option.
This system is ideal for any room in your home where you want to enjoy natural light but also need to blackout your windows from time to time. For instance, you could style your living room with custom Designer Roller Shades and let a subtle glow of light inside when your shades are lowered. At the same time, your shades can also provide the perfect setting for a movie by simply lowering the blackout liner.
LightLock™
Innovated for the Duette® Honeycomb Shades collection, this advanced light control solution is the perfect choice for getting better sleep at night. It’s also a great pair with custom cellular shades since the hexagonal shape helps soften noises in your bedroom. The LightLock™ system traps and blocks light with a smart side-channel system, which absorbs light to keep your room nearly completely dark even during the middle of the day. It’s the ultimate solution for keeping your room dark at all hours.

The unexpected circular shapes will energize your design style. Don’t be a square – or even a rectangle! Rooms that have only sharp edges and straight lines can create a feeling of too much order and lead to a sense of discomfort or inflexibility. Add just a few round elements as an accent to soften and relax a room. You can be creative in your definition of “round” to include more than perfect circles. Include ovals, egg-shapes, ellipses, arches, curls, cylinders, rings and more. The idea is just that you add a few rounded shapes, in addition to the straight lines and square corners that are everywhere in your home. Even in the feng shui concept of interior design, round shapes are important. Feng shui is about balancing five elements, one of which is metal. The metal element is expressed as a round shape in decor; and round design elements are believed to bring clarity, precision, freshness and equality into a room. The possibilities for adding round shapes to your home environment are almost unlimited: Round pillows Curved patterns in wallpaper or upholstery fabric Cylindrical, round or oval accessories – such as vases, bowls and urns Disk-shaped tables – including dining tables, end tables and coffee tables Round light fixtures or lamps A circular sofa sectional Elliptical or round mirrors or artwork Spiral staircases And if you’re remodeling, round windows and arch top doorways or windows – or you can change the shape of a room to have a rounded window bay. Circular or oval rugs Think outside the box. Round out your interior design with some circular shapes!
