Best Window Treatments for Media Rooms
The key to creating an effective media room that’s perfect for watching sports, movies, and playing video games is to reduce or eliminate light that can cast a glare on the screen. The best way to keep light out of your media room is to install room darkening/blackout window treatments.
While blinds are effective at reducing the amount of outside light in media rooms, shades work best due to the fact that they are one solid covering with no gaps that allow light leakage. With the right shades installed, you’ll not only be able to eliminate almost all outside light from casting a glare on your television or projector screen, but you’ll also have an added decorative touch in your media room.
1. Premium Roman Shades
Our Premium Roman Shades are highly effective at blocking light and adding beauty to your media room’s windows—particularly when the optional blackout liner is installed. These window coverings are available in an extremely wide range of different colors and patterns, which means you’re sure to find the perfect match for your room color and décor.
2. Premium Blackout Double Cellular Shades
If you need blackout shades that block as much light as possible, our Deluxe Blackout Double Cellular Shades are perfect for you. Not only do these coverings come in a variety of different colors, but they also block 99 percent of outside light, meaning your media room will stay dark and cool during daylight hours, providing you with glare-free viewing and gaming.
3. Deluxe Blackout Solar Shades
One of our newest offerings, the Deluxe Blackout Solar Shades give homeowners a movie theater experience. Available in multiple neutral colors, the solid and matte texture of these window treatments not only blends in effortlessly with almost any room décor, but they’re also extremely effective at blocking outdoor light, heat, and cold from entering your media room. Pair these with drapery panels to block any light seepage between the edge of the shade and the edge of the window opening.
4. Deluxe Bamboo Woven Wood Shades
For media rooms that don’t need to be completely blacked out, the Deluxe Bamboo Woven Wood Shades add a splash of character while still reducing the amount of ambient light and glare. In addition, these window coverings can also be equipped with a blackout liner to further reduce outside light from entering the room while increasing insulation.
5. Cordless Day/Night Single Cellular Shades
Are you looking for room darkening but don't want to commit to blackout shades full time? That's where our unique two-in-one Cordless Day/Night Cellular Shades come in! These shades feature both light filtering and blackout fabric for a multi-purpose experience. Each fabric can fully cover the window so you can have light filtering for privacy with natural light, complete blackout, or any combination of the two! It's the best of both worlds and gives you the full range of light control in one shade.
