Blinds to Go

Lights out, sleep in—this episode breaks down blackout window treatments with the experts at Blinds To Go. We explain how true blackout differs from room-darkening, which products block the most light (roller shades, cellular shades, and drapery with liners), and when side channels, cassette valances, and precise inside vs. outside mounts make all the difference to eliminate glow at the edges. You’ll learn practical measuring tips, how to layer shades with drapery for hotel-level darkness, and smart-home options like motorization and routines for shift workers, nurseries, and media rooms. We also cover fabric essentials (opacity vs. color), thermal and noise benefits, and easy maintenance so your setup performs for years. Ready to design your own lights-out oasis?
