Best for: Living rooms, large windows, sliding doors

Best for: Bedrooms, nurseries, home theaters

Benefits: Total darkness, reduced noise, better sleep

Honeycomb shades—also called cellular blinds—feature a layered design that traps air for insulation. These are popular in the Pacific Northwest for energy efficiency and year-round comfort.

Best for: Whole homes, temperature-sensitive areas
