Save Energy With the Right Window Treatments
Simple principle: dark colors absorb light and heat, bright colors reflect light and heat.
Summer
Reflect heat away
- Install bright-colored window coverings to reflect light and heat.
- Keep them closed throughout the day.
- At night, open them and your windows to let accumulated heat escape.
Winter
Trap warmth inside
- Install dark-colored window coverings to absorb heat.
- Keep them open where the sun is shining, closed where it isn't.
- At night, keep everything shut tight to trap accumulated heat.
The Complete Guide to Window Shades for Southern California Homes
Window shades are the most versatile category of window treatments available today. Unlike blinds with rigid slats or shutters with fixed louvers, shades use soft fabrics and flexible materials that can be tailored to virtually any light control, privacy, or aesthetic requirement. For Southern California homeowners dealing with intense sun exposure, wide temperature swings between coastal and inland areas, and a desire for modern design, shades offer solutions that blinds and shutters simply cannot match.
Honeycomb Cellular Shades: The Energy Efficiency Champion
Honeycomb shades, also called cellular shades, are the most energy-efficient window treatment you can buy. Their distinctive honeycomb-shaped air pockets create insulating barriers that trap heat in winter and block it in summer. In Southern California's climate, where air conditioning accounts for a significant portion of energy bills, cellular shades are highly effective at reducing heat gain through windows. They are available in single-cell and double-cell configurations. Double-cell shades provide the best balance of insulation and affordability for most homes in the region. For bedrooms, blackout cellular shades combine total light blocking with superior insulation in a single product.
Roller Shades: Clean, Modern, and Smart-Home Ready
Roller shades are the fastest-growing category in window treatments, driven by their clean aesthetic and compatibility with motorization and smart home systems. A single tube mechanism rolls the fabric up into a compact headrail, creating a minimal, uncluttered look when raised. Blackout roller shades are our top seller for bedrooms and nurseries, blocking 99% of light for restful sleep. Solar roller shades are ideal for living rooms and home offices, reducing glare and UV rays by up to 95% while maintaining your view of the outdoors. And motorized roller shades are our most popular product overall, combining effortless operation with automated scheduling and smart home compatibility.
Roman Shades: Fabric Elegance for Every Room
Roman shades fold into soft, elegant horizontal pleats when raised, creating a tailored, upholstered look that adds warmth and texture to any room. Available in flat-fold, hobbled, and balloon styles, they work beautifully in dining rooms, bedrooms, and living areas where you want a softer aesthetic than blinds or roller shades. Pattern options range from bold geometric prints to subtle linen textures. For sliding glass doors, Roman shades on a continuous loop provide smooth, easy operation across wide openings.
Woven Wood Shades: Natural Warmth and Texture
Woven wood shades, also called bamboo shades or natural shades, bring organic warmth and texture that synthetic materials cannot replicate. Made from bamboo, jute, grasses, and natural wood reeds, they complement Southern California's coastal, Mediterranean, and farmhouse design styles. Woven wood shades filter light beautifully, creating patterns of natural shadow that change throughout the day. For added privacy, they can be lined with a blackout or privacy-enhancing fabric backing. They are a top choice for sunrooms, covered patios, kitchens, and casual living spaces.
Choosing the Right Shade Opacity
One of the most important decisions when selecting window shades is the opacity level. Sheer and light-filtering fabrics diffuse sunlight for a soft, warm glow while maintaining partial privacy during the day, but they become transparent at night when interior lights are on. Room-darkening fabrics block most light but allow some glow around the edges, suitable for living rooms and kitchens. Blackout fabrics eliminate virtually all light and provide complete privacy at any time of day, making them essential for bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms, and home theaters. Our consultants help you match the right opacity to each room's function during your free in-home appointment.
Motorized Shades: The Future of Window Treatments
Motorized window shades are rapidly becoming the standard in new construction and home renovations across Southern California. The convenience of controlling all your shades from a single remote, smartphone app, or voice command (through Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit) is transformative. Automated scheduling means your shades can open with your morning alarm, close during peak afternoon heat, and shut completely at sunset, all without you touching anything. For tall or hard-to-reach windows, skylights, and stairway windows, motorization is often the only practical option. We offer motorized upgrades across our entire shade lineup, and our motorized roller shades are currently our best-selling product.
