Choosing the right shade will affect the looks of your window as well as the amount of heat, light, privacy, and sound. Two modern favorites are roller shades and cellular shades.
What Are Roller and Cellular Shades?
Roller Shades
A single piece of fabric rolls down from a sleek tube at the top of your window. Roller shades come in various materials, from translucent to blackout fabrics.

Comparing Roller Shades and Cellular Shades
Construction
Roller shades are minimalist: a single piece of cloth on a cylindrical casing. Cellular shades retain air in embedded cells for effective thermal insulation.
