Best Shades for Sound Absorption
We often like to decorate our homes with furniture and décor that offer a sense of peace and tranquility. From soothing colors to soft fabrics, there are a variety of ways that homeowners can bring serenity into their living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas. However, despite our best efforts, issues with noise can take us from our moment of Zen and drag us back to reality.
Many of us try to focus our sound absorption efforts with our ceilings or by adding high pile throw rugs onto our floors. We may even try getting plush throw pillows or furniture with thick fabric to help with absorbing sounds. Not everyone may be aware that a great way to help mitigate unwanted sounds throughout your home is through your window treatments, specifically your interior shades.
At Window Accents and Flooring in Princeton and Hillsborough, we have the experience and inventory of Hunter Douglas window shades to help you achieve your desired level of sound absorption in your home. We can help explain how exactly shades help with sound absorption and even give you a few Hunter Douglas shades that look as great as they perform.
How Do Sound Absorbing Shades Work?
Before we get into the best shades for sound absorption, we first have to understand how these window treatments work to reduce noise pollution. The different materials used to make these shades help prevent sound waves from entering from outside and into your home. On the other hand, these materials also help improve the acoustics within your home. If you find that your house has echoes from wood floors, adding shades to your windows will help reduce this.
Great for any room of the home as well as high-traffic areas, adding Hunter Douglas shades to the inside of your windows can help make a noticeable difference with noise. Do you notice lots of echoing in your bedroom when you’re opening and closing drawers or talking to your partner? Try adding shades to the bedroom windows to reduce the echo. Or install some window shades in your dining room to help with the clatter of dishes and utensils when you’re eating dinner.
Your options from our Hunter Douglas collection include the following:
Cellular Shades
Cellular shades are best known for their energy-efficient properties. However, they also offer great sound absorption. The multi-layered, cellular construction of these shades creates a barrier that absorbs sound, reducing both in and outside of your home. This makes them an excellent choice for bedrooms, home offices, and other areas where peace and quiet are essential.
Roman Shades
Roman shades are famous for their crisp, elegant folds. Aside from looking good, these supple fabrics also make Roman shades one of the best shades for sound absorption. The soft fabric folds of Roman shades effectively absorb sound waves and help create a quieter home.
Available in a wide range of fabrics, Roman shades also allow you to customize them to your liking. Whether you're aiming for a cozy bedroom or a serene living room, Roman shades can enhance sound control while transforming your interior design.
Roller Shades
Fabric roller shades are a versatile window treatment that blends in seamlessly with your current décor while reducing noise pollution. Thanks to the unique fabric of these shades, these window treatments help to absorb sound waves and reduce echoes throughout your space.
With a plethora of fabric choices available, roller shades easily align with your aesthetic preferences. From sheer to blackout options, fabric roller shades cater to your privacy and light control needs while creating a quieter living space.
