Blackout Shades for Home Theater / Living Room Combos

If you use your home theater as a living space or general entertainment area, we recommend utilizing contemporary blackout shades rather than keeping the room dark with heavy curtains. By using shades, you can still keep your home theater dark when you’re watching TV or screening a film – as blackout shades are designed to block out all light when they are customized to fit your windows. We recommend, for maximum ease and luxury, installing motorized blackout shades that can open or close with the simple push of a button!

How Blackout Shades can Totally Black Out any Window

LA Shades and Blinds provides a range of custom blackout shades in a range of styles that are perfectly tailored to fit windows of all or any sizes. The important thing to focus on is whether the blackout shades have the proper opacity to block out all light. Many people assume blackout shades need to be black – but they can work in any color as long as it’s material is opaque. This allows you to use blackout shades to create a mood in your home entertainment room – from light and bright pastels to a dark red for that classic movie theater feel. If your street is exceptionally brightly lit, or you want to use your home entertainment room mostly during the daytime, we recommend tinting your windows or adding an extra layer of opaque fabric – or even side rails around roller shades that can block out light that might come around the edges.

LA Shades and Blinds provides blackout shades in any and all layout – from cellular shades to Roman shades, from modernism and minimal, to classical and elegant.
