Five facts about window light.
West windows are the hot ones
Low afternoon sun is the hardest to tame and the most likely to fade floors.
East windows wake you up
Strong early sun is the usual reason bedrooms need blackout.
South windows change with the season
High summer sun is easy to shade; low winter sun reaches deep into the room.
North windows stay gentle
Mostly soft light, so privacy matters more than glare.
Trees and porches change everything

What is best for blocking light in a bedroom?
A blackout shade with a tight fit, often under lined drapery, blocks the most light. Outside mounting or side channels reduce the light that leaks around the edges, and cordless or motorized operation keeps bedrooms safer and tidier.
Do cellular shades really save energy?
They can help. Cellular shades trap air in pleated pockets and are among the better-insulating window coverings. Real savings depend on your windows, your climate and how you use them, so we avoid promising a specific percentage.
