Day & Night Window Shades
FAQs: Day & Night Cellular Shades
Day and night shades — often called day night cellular shades — are innovative window treatments that combine two functions in one product. They feature a light‑filtering layer for soft daytime blinds performance and a room‑darkening or blackout layer for evening privacy. This lets you switch between letting in natural light and blocking it out with one easy‑to‑use shade.
Day night cellular shades have two fabric panels on a single headrail. One panel filters light during the day (like daytime blinds) while still maintaining privacy, and the other blocks nearly all light for restful sleep or media rooms at night. You slide between fabrics to control both light and privacy throughout the day.

Most day night cellular shades block nearly all incoming light when the blackout layer is fully lowered. Some light gaps may appear at the edges depending on the mount and fit. For maximum darkening, consider outside mounting or adding side channels.

Day night cellular shades are ideal in bedrooms, nurseries, home offices, and living rooms — anywhere you want both natural light and flexible privacy options throughout the day and night.
