Blackout
For a darker roomOpaque fabric blocks light through the material and the view through the shade. Light can still enter around the edges.
A continuous fabric rolls neatly away. Choose the fabric for light and privacy, then consider the mounting for the finished fit.

A middle option for filtered daylight and a view outside. Compare a sample against your room’s light and privacy needs.
A more open weave offers a clearer view outdoors than 1% or 3% in a comparable fabric.
What do the percentages mean? Openness describes the spaces in the fabric’s weave, not the percentage of light entering your room. A lower number means a tighter weave.

An inside mount sits within the recess; an outside mount extends beyond it. Frame depth, handles, and wall space affect the choice.

Blackout describes the material. A standard roller shade can admit edge light. Tell us whether you want less glare, daytime naps, or the darkest practical bedroom so we can discuss the mounting.
