When it comes to the lighting in your home, obviously, more windows mean more light, but also more places to drafts to come in through. Or even the dreaded stray beam of light on the first Sunday in months you are able to sleep in. This evil sliver of sunlight will creep across your face at 7:01 a mere minute after your normal wake up time. Its sole purpose is to awaken your deep slumber, doing nothing more then standing still over your eye lids. The most dastardly enemy of stray light beams and drafts? Good curtains. Good curtains make all the difference on a windy, bitter winter night or particularly bright mornings.
Check out the Open and Closed visuals. 
Think of a good curtain as a blanket for your windows. Not just something pretty to ornament the windows with, but also an easy way to cut those utility bills. Be it gas/oil/wood in the winter or electricity running those all important air conditioners in the summer. Check out the Room Darkening Series by Sound Asleep. These curtains are so good at insulating the room not only in terms of temperature but also light and sound that they are the official curtain of the National Sleep Foundation. Also, their light dampening abilities are stupendous. You won’t even know if it is night or day if they are closed. Another great feature is, no one can tell if you are home or not. So this can deter less then honorable guests who may wish to forcibly enter your home through a window. I am also assuming trying to navigate a room you haven’ t seen before with a dog in it is not satisfactory either. (haha)
Side note! I get terrible migraines, and I LOVE these because they help keep the room really and truly dark- and I would never recommend something to a migraine sufferer that didn’t truly work. These are great for that reason alone- and also because I do like to sleep past the crack of dawn if I can! LOL. But honestly- just for the fact that they can blacken a room, there is not a reason I wouldn’t recommend these curtains. If you get migraines- these are a must have.
The curtains come in four sizes and ten colors. The valences also come in two different styles, Back tab and Ascot.
Thanks for the information on these curtains. I have never heard of them before. It is nice to know when shopping. I like the sound issue, too. Rita Spratlen rjspratlen@gmail.com
I need these desperately for every room in our home. I have been debating for a long time whether we should purchase shades that darken the room or drapes. I’ll have to check these out. {New Follower} Thanks for visiting me at my blog.
I need these in my room. I have had so many headaches lately that I finally get to sleep in the morning. Then, poof, stupid light wakes me up.
those would look so good in my own bedroom
I agree with you as a fellow migraine suffer, these curtains are great for those with light sensitivity as well.
I seriously only hang room darkening curtains. Not only do I sleep better when the sun starts coming up but the heat stays in during the winter and the cool during the summer.
Ms. Ma’am needs new ones…omw to see if they have something she might like.
Thank you so much for the introduction! I have a whole house that needs window dressing updates. Going to check them out now!
I can see the value of these especially if you work nights and need to sleep during the day.
