At House To A Home Interiors, we specialize in helping you find the best Hunter Douglas window treatments for your needs. Our expert team can help you find the best sound-absorbing window shades near Springfield, Illinois.

Sound Absorbing Window Shades

Hunter Douglas fabric window shades are some of the best treatments for reducing ambient sound. They provide a buffer on the window that acts as insulation, reduces noise, and improves energy usage.

The following shades add a stylish aesthetic and a sound barrier for various rooms, such as:

  • Nurseries.
  • Media rooms.
  • Bedrooms.

Duette® Cellular Shades

Hunter Douglas artisans design Duette® Cellular Shades for energy efficiency, and the same innovative design also enables them to absorb sound. These are perfect for a whole-home solution and fit any door, window shape, or size.

They’re available in over 100 colors with opacities ranging from semi-sheer to room-darkening.

Sonnette® Roller Shades

Sonnette® Roller Shades are cellular shades that roll like roller shades, so they’re efficient and easy to use. They come in several fabrics that provide sound absorption and light-filtering opacities.

Vignette® Roman Shades

Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades comprise luxurious, heavy fabrics that fold and overlap to insulate your window and create a sound barrier. These sound-absorbing window shades also make a great choice for homes with children and pets because there are no exposed rear cords.

Sound Absorbing Shutters

Hunter Douglas shutters will enhance any room with elegance and style. They can also help you enjoy a quieter home. Since window treatment installers install shutters on their own frames, they seal off any cracks and provide additional soundproofing and energy efficiency.

For sound-absorbing shutters, consider Heritance® Wood Shutters or NewStyle® Composite Shutters since the wood is insulating, especially when you shut the louvers. Add these where you want a stylish aesthetic, excellent light control, and insulation against sound, such as:

  • Bedrooms.
  • Home offices.
  • Living rooms.

Layer-Up for More Sound-Absorbing

You can make your shutters and shades even more sound-absorbing when you add a layer of drapery on top of them. The extra layer of fabric can help create a sound barrier and further muffle outside noises. For better sound absorption, choose heavier fabrics for your drapes, like:

  • Wool.
  • Velvet.
  • Cotton.

Just like layering clothes keeps you warmer, layering your window treatments contributes to better sound absorption and improves energy consumption. Drapery is also an excellent way to add visual interest with color, pattern, design, and texture.
