Question 1

What are the best blackout shades for bedrooms in Boise?

Accepted Answer

For Boise bedrooms, we recommend blackout honeycomb (cellular) shades for the best combination of light blocking and energy efficiency. Boise's hot summers and cold winters make the insulating air pockets especially valuable. Blackout roller shades are ideal for a more modern, minimal look.

Question 2

Do blackout shades really block 100% of light?

Accepted Answer

True blackout shades block 99–100% of light when properly installed with no gaps at the sides. Boise Blinds installs blackout shades with inside-mount precision or outside-mount overlap to eliminate light gaps. We recommend outside mount for maximum blackout performance.

Question 3

Can blackout shades be motorized?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All blackout shade options from Boise Blinds are available with motorization. Motorized blackout shades can be set on a schedule — automatically closing at bedtime and opening at sunrise — via Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, or our Sombra app.

Question 4

Are blackout shades good for nurseries?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Blackout shades are one of the most requested products for nurseries in Boise. Blocking afternoon light helps babies sleep longer and on schedule. We recommend cordless or motorized options for safety in children's rooms.

Question 5

How much do blackout shades cost in Boise?

Accepted Answer

Blackout roller shades start around $200–$400 per window for manual cordless options. Motorized blackout shades range from $470–$800+ per window. Blackout cellular shades are priced similarly. Boise Blinds provides exact pricing during your free in-home consultation.
