Waking up to harsh sunlight not only be annoying but also detrimental to your eyesight. Having the sun’s glare on your face isn’t exactly the ideal way to start the day. Fortunately, you can control the amount of sunlight that seeps into your room by selecting a trusty morning light shade. Here, you will learn about what morning light shades are, the best types of morning light shades for your home, and the benefits of a morning light shade for your living space.

What Is a Morning Light Shade?

Morning light shades are fixtures or window treatments that block out the sun’s rays from entering your room. You can choose between a variety of shutters, blinds, and window shades, and the amount of light that gets blocked out depends on the fixture that you choose. Generally, shutters are able to effectively block out light, and they’re the best for darkening a room.

The Best Types of Morning Light Shades

To combat the glare of the morning sun and protect your eyes from harsh light, we at Regency can provide you with the suitable solution for controlling the amount of light that enters your room. Here are the best window treatments that can serve as morning light shades:

Poly Shutters

Poly shutters are made with high-quality, solid core poly and painted with a smooth, durable finish. They’re the perfect window treatment to withstand any type of weather, and they can be built in almost any shape or size to accommodate your home’s windows. Poly shutters are excellent for blocking out both sunlight and heat, keeping your home nice and cool throughout the day. As a bonus, they’re 70% more energy-efficient than shutters made from regular wood.

Wooden Shutters

Made from high-quality, durable wood, these shutters offer superior UV protection and are excellent for keeping a room darkened. Regency wooden shutters can be customized to your exact specifications, and they can even be stained in a finish that matches the rest of your home’s furniture. Additionally, you can request for wider wood panels that are up to 50 inches, which would allow you to block out the morning light from bigger windows.

Motorized Shades and Blinds

If you’re looking for a more efficient and convenient option, consider choosing Regency motorized shades and blinds. These window treatments automatically adjust depending on the time of day, providing excellent light and temperature control for any room. These serve as great morning light shades because they can constantly provide the right amount of coverage for your room.

The Benefits of Installing Window Treatments for Morning Light Shades

Morning light shades have a ton of benefits for your home. Here are some of the main advantages of having morning light shades:

Provide you with better sleep

Without light on your face, you’d get better quality sleep. Since morning light shades can eliminate all external sources of light, you can rest comfortably in a dark room.

Provide better energy efficiency

Bright, sunny days are beautiful, but they often make your room very hot. A morning light shade can keep your room’s temperature regulated, as it would block out the thermal energy from the sun. Because of this, you wouldn’t have to turn on your air conditioning to keep cool.

Significantly reduce glare

One of the biggest benefits of having a morning light shade is that you’d no longer need to shield your eyes from the sun whenever you wake up. Because your morning light shade blocks out light, you can rest assured that only a comfortable level of sunlight would enter your room.
