Custom Blackout Window Treatments 

Transform Your Space with Room Darkening, Shades, Draperies, and More

Natural light can be a beautiful feature in any home, but there are times when too much of it can make a room feel too bright or disrupt your privacy. Whether you're looking to create a cozy, darkened room or just need to control the amount of sunlight coming in, our custom blackout shades and window coverings can give you the perfect balance of light control, style, and privacy.

At Gotcha Covered, our expert design consultants are here to help you choose the best window treatments for your needs. We’ll walk you through the difference between light-filtering, room-darkening, and blackout options so you’ll know exactly which one will work best for your space.
 

Light Filtering vs. Blackout Window Treatments: What’s the Difference?

room darkening blindsLight Filtering Shades, Blinds, and Draperies

Light-filtering window treatments are designed to soften incoming light, creating a warm, ambient glow that fills a room without harsh glare or direct sunlight. If you love the warmth of natural light but want to avoid the blinding midday sun, light-filtering options are ideal.

Room Darkening Shades, Blinds, and Draperies

Room-darkening treatments fall between light-filtering and blackout options. Room-darkening window coverings are perfect for spaces where you want to reduce light but don’t necessarily need total darkness.

Blackout Window Shades

These shades are crafted from special materials that block all light, turning your room into a darker environment. Keep in mind, if your blackout shades don’t fully seal the edges, you might need gap blockers to prevent light from sneaking through the sides or top. 

Which Window Treatment Is Right for You?

  • Light-filtering treatments are great for spaces where you want a soft glow of light.
  • Room-darkening shades are perfect for spaces where you want to reduce the light without blocking it completely—ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices.
  • Blackout shades are the best choice for total darkness, making them perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, or any room where you need full light control.
