Blackout Blinds in Game Rooms
Blackout blinds can have many different functions. Of course, their main function is usually to play pool, air hockey, ping pong, foosball, or darts. They can also be great for poker, cards, board games, video games, or watching TV. Game rooms are often the hangout destination in all homes. So, with all of these functions, why are blackout blinds the choice window covering for game rooms?
Blackout Blinds in Game Rooms Give You Flexibility
Blackout blinds in game rooms give you flexibility. If you’re having an afternoon party, it’s unlikely that you’ll want the room to be pitch black. Blackout blinds allow you to choose how little, or how much, light to let in through your window. So if it turns out your afternoon party is to watch a big game, you won’t need to worry about your blackout blinds leaving a glare on your TV. Whether you choose routeless blackout blinds or blackout blinds with cloth tapes, there won’t be little spots on your TV because the holes in the slats will be covered up.
Routeless Blackout Blinds in Game Rooms
Routeless blackout blinds are
blackout blinds that don’t have holes drilled into the center of the slats for the operating strings. These will give your windows a seamless, uninterrupted look. If your game room is done in mostly dark colors, consider a wood stain that matches the other wood finishes in your room. If your room is done in lighter colors, painted routeless blackout blinds would look great in your room.
Blackout Blinds in Game Rooms with Cloth Tapes
Blackout blinds with cloth tapes are blinds that have cloth tapes that cover the operating holes in the blinds. These cloth tapes come in many different colors. Typically, people will choose to have cloth tapes in a color that compliments the décor in their room. It’s great to keep the color of the cloth tapes neutral, since you may change the style of your room many times before you change out your blackout blinds. A great contemporary look is to choose a dark stain with a light colored cloth tapes. You can also choose cloth tapes in the same color as your blinds.
