There are plenty of reasons why you might want to limit the amount of light that enters your room. You could be sensitive to the light, or maybe you simply wish to sleep in later. Maybe you would like to persuade your young children to sleep in a little longer, rather than waking up at the crack of dawn.
If you’re a mum then you will know exactly how hard it can be to get a little lie-in. You no longer choose what time you want to wake up, your children do! Whatever your reasons are for wanting to eliminate sunlight, the good news is that you no longer need to let it affect your sleeping patterns.
If you have children that fail to sleep in any longer than 6:00am everyday and wake up at the very first sight of daylight, then you may want to consider investing in some Velux blackout blinds.
As the sun gradually rises earlier and earlier in the summer it can be hard to keep a consistent sleeping schedule for your children, especially if your windows are facing east.
Velux blackout blinds are great tools to help you keep that dreaded morning sunlight out. You can use blackout blinds at any time of the day, so when you want to put your little one down to rest in the afternoon they can be undisturbed and well rested.
Of course, there are personal benefits for you too, as blackout blinds help you gain some more privacy. Blackout blinds will allow you to get dressed without the fear of onlookers being able to see into your home.
Sun fade can also be a good reason to opt for a blackout blind. As many of you probably already know, the sun can have shocking effects on certain textiles in your home, fading the colours and changing the fabrics texture. Blackout blinds can help prevent this.
