Room darkening shades are the perfect choice for bedrooms.  This a teen’s room on the coast of New Hampshire.  I had so much fun designing the cornice with the nautical rope.  Notice how we shaped the cornice to follow the angle of the ceiling. Truly custom. The Duette® Architella shades hide away under the cornice during the day.
