The new designs in blinds and shades make them a popular choice for use in many homes today. Among the various styles you will find the cellular design. The cell refers to the construction of the individual slats and actually resembles a honeycomb design. A single cell style will have one layer of these cells used in creating each slat, while the double and triple cells will have two or three. This design makes the shade more energy efficient to use in keeping out drafts on cold or windy days.

Cordless cellular shades are designed without the traditional dangling string you pull on to raise or lower the unit. These cordless shades are operated with a self-retracting mechanism located inside the top mounting piece that is activated when you pull on the bottom handle. This is a great item to use in homes with small children and pets. They are safer because there is no dangling cord for small children to get tangled in or pets to chew on. The various shade styles are also available in the new top down bottom up design, which allows you to choose the way you want light to enter your room.

There are also some styles created as light filtering shades that use a more transparent type of material in the construction of the piece. In contrast, the blackout styles are created with a dense material to completely shut out all light from entering a room. These various shade designs are available in all types of sizes and can be custom made to fit a special window area. You will also find them in a wide assortment of colors to enhance the décor of any room. Using these new shades, allows you to add style to your window area while benefiting from their energy saving design. These could potentially save you hundreds of dollars annually over more traditional sun blinds.
