What is honeycomb shade? Energy saving and many colors to choose

If you are looking to improve the appearance of your home, giving the windows something TLC highly recommends. Your windows control the feel and vibe in the room, as well as determining whether or not the temperature stays comfortable in your home.

This is why it is imperative to make sure that you have windows that not only deliver excellent performance but look incredible as well. One of the feasible ways is by having sleek and stylish blinds installed. Not only do blinds help you enjoy privacy when required, but provide many different styles to select from; therefore, you are bound to find something right for you. In this post, we are going to look at honeycomb shades, in particular, so read on to discover everything you need to know.


🔹What are honeycomb shades?

There is only one place to begin, and this is by explaining what honeycomb shades are. Honeycomb shades use one continual fabric piece. They either are folded up or rolled up along their crisp pleats. The honeycomb-shaped cells are formed as the fabric is bonded together.

There is either a triple, double, or single-layered design that will trap air between every layer of the shade in the individual cells, providing excellent insulation. They also come in a number of different light control options, colors, and pleat sizes. From sheer to blackout shades, there is always something for all kinds of environments and requirements. You may also see honeycomb shades being referred to as cellular shades; they are the same.

🔹What are the characteristics and benefits of honeycomb shade?


Now that you know what honeycomb shades are, it is important to look at the characteristics and benefits of choosing honeycomb shades.

1. Energy-saving and environmentally friendly

There is only one place to begin. That is with the fact that you can save a lot of energy when using these shades, which also are beneficial for the environment. This is definitely one of the most important things you need to consider when shopping for shades, as we all need to do our bits for the planet and, of course, you want to keep those energy bills as low as possible.

With honeycomb shades, you have an eco choice because you benefit from excellent light blocking and light-filtering abilities. You can also expect noise reduction and superior insulation, which means your home will be more comfortable and you can expect energy cost to be lowered throughout the house.

2. Improved privacy

You can also consider honeycomb shades if you would like to have more privacy in the room. Compared with other blinds, honeycomb shades are well equipped to block out light more efficiently and make it more difficult to look into your house from outside. To ensure you benefit from the highest level of privacy, we recommend you to opt for the Honeycomb Shades Blackout with room darkening.

3. Wide range of options

Another reason why a lot of people are drawn to honeycomb shades is that there are many different options available, including Bottom-Up, Top-Down & Bottom-Up (TDBU), with or without drawstring. Cordless options are great if you have children and want a safe and secure option. 

4. Slim profile

A lot of people like the slim profile that is associated with honeycomb blinds, as they do not need a lot of depth. When the fabric is raised, the shade is stacked at the top and it depends on the length of the shade to decide its profile size.

🔹Where are honeycomb shades typically installed?

Honeycomb shades can be installed in virtually any room in your home. A lot of people opt to have these shades installed in their living room or bedroom because of the fact that they are incredibly stylish and also help create an environment that is peaceful and calming. After all, rooms like this should provide you with a safe sanctuary; somewhere you are able to unwind and relax. The shades you select play a huge role in this, and there is no denying that honeycomb shades are a great choice. 

Honeycomb shades also work well in any room whereby you are trying to unlock the different characteristics that we have mentioned above. For instance, if you hope to enjoy more privacy and also want to boost the energy efficiency of a room, it certainly makes sense to consider opting for honeycomb shades out of all the different options available.

🔹Choosing from the different types of honeycomb shades available today

As discussed, one of the main reasons to consider honeycomb shades is because there are so many different styles and materials for you to select from, meaning you definitely want to find something that makes the most sense for your house. But how do you effectively choose from these different options?

1. Determine what sort of color is going to be right for you

The first thing you need to do is to think about what sort of color you are going to go for when choosing honeycomb shades for your house. From warm colors to cool colors, there is always something for everyone, and it all depends on the sort of style you want to create for the room in question. Do you want to create a room that is contemporary and has a minimalistic vibe? Perhaps you are more interested in traditional, rustic, homely styles? Only you can determine what sort of look you want to create. Of course, it is going to depend on the current furniture and colors that you have in that room.

2. Choose a material with care

From linen to twill, there are a lot of different materials that are available when choosing honeycomb shades for your house. When determining which material makes the most sense to you, think about the qualities associated with the material in question. How durable is it? How easy  is it to clean? These are just some of the questions you need to ask yourself. Not only the aspects discussed above, but the choice of material will, of course, impact the style as well. That is something you need to consider, as your blinds will play a big role in the overall look of the room in question. 

3. Cleaning and maintenance

Leading on from the former point, it is important to consider how you are going to take care of the shades you have installed. What sort of schedule will you need to maintain to ensure your blinds look amazing for many years to come? If the product description does not specify, email the company to find out.

4. Figure out the level of blackout needed

This is another area you need to consider when it comes to choosing honeycomb shades. You have everything from sheer to blackout shades available, with a lot of different options in-between, such as semi shade. Therefore, it is all about figuring out what is going to be right for the room in question. If you are looking to block out as much light as possible while benefiting from a heightened sense of privacy, going for blackout shades is going to be the best option for you.

5. Check out reviews and feedback online

It is also a good idea to spend some time reading reviews that have been left by people who have purchased the blinds that you are considering, if possible. This will give you a great insight into whether the blinds looked as good in actuality as they did online. These days, it is easy to read users’ reviews and comments and they can really help bring any potential red flags on the table.
