Key Buying Factors — What to Think About Before Choosing Shades

Purchasing shades is not just about the color of the fabric you want or love. Here are the key takeaways to consider:

Functional Needs & Location

Different spaces serve different functions. While bedrooms are perfect for blackout window shades that eliminate outside light, living and kitchen spaces may feel more open and inviting with light-filtering fabrics. Joydeco provides both shades across its collections.

Families with young children, or homes with wide open windows, may find the motorized or cordless options a safer and more effective solution. By eliminating dangling cords, these cordless and motorized upgrades provide safety, comfort, and peace of mind.

Style & Décor Matching

Window shades should be in harmony with the overall design concept. For a space that is minimal and modern, the Roller and Zebra Shades work perfectly. For more traditional and inviting spaces, Roman and Cellular Shades finish the room with soft, textured touches. With a number of colors and fabrics available, Joydeco is guaranteed to cater to every style.

Energy Efficiency & Light Control

Cellular Shades seem to excel here. The honeycomb design provides insulation, which means less heat loss during the winter and cooler rooms in the summer. The Zebra Shades are also worth mentioning as they can switch from near blackout to filtering light just by adjusting the layers.

Budget & Value

Through direct selling, Joydeco achieves a lower price than other physical retailers. Buyers on a budget will appreciate the Sale and New Arrival sections, which offer lower-priced options that are not only stylish but also functional.

Fabrics & Materials

The performance of your shades depends on the fabric you choose.

  • Blackout fabrics: Ideally suitable for bedrooms and media rooms, they are designed to obtain the maximum level of darkness.
  • Light-filtering fabrics: To keep rooms bright, the light-filtering fabrics soften daylight and reduce glare.
  • Cellular fabrics: They greatly enhance insulation and sound reduction, thereby improving the energy efficiency of homes.
  • Zebra dual-layer fabrics: Give the user flexible control ranging from full brightness to near blackout.

Measuring & Installation

A precise measurement serves as a foundation for well-fitting shades, which is why Joydeco provides a comprehensive guide to help avoid common mistakes while taking measurements.

When taking measurements, choose the preferred mount style:

  • Shades that are mounted inside the frame of the window are called ‘Inside Mount Shades.’ This type of mount gives a sleek finish.
  • Shades that sit outside the frame of the window are called ‘Outside Mount Shades.’ This type of mount gives an illusion of larger windows.

Joydeco has simplified setup with the Cordless and No-Drill options, which speed up the installation and increase safety, avoiding the use of tools and cords.
