Skylights are a stunning feature in any home, filling rooms with natural light, making spaces feel larger, and offering a glimpse of the starry night sky when you're falling asleep or the blue of the morning as you wake up. But as wonderful as they are, skylights also come with challenges—like excessive heat and glare.

Luckily, both common drawbacks that skylights face have a simple and quick fix: skylight shades! At Georgia Blinds & Interiors, we offer custom skylight shades so you can enjoy the best of both worlds—natural light when you want it and shade when you don’t.

An innovative skylight shade like the Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades regulates light, improves energy efficiency, and reduces harmful UV rays. Choose from the Simplicity™ manual operating system that controls your skylights with a convenient wand or upgrade to the SkyLift™ skylight system, which offers manual control with a telescoping pole, hand crank, or automated motorization with PowerView® Automation.

Sleep-in When You Need to With Skylight Shades

Bedrooms are popular spaces for skylights since they create a serene feel. They make your room feel more spacious, and nothing beats falling asleep looking up at the stars or letting sunrise ease you into the day instead of a blaring alarm. That is until the weekend rolls around, and you'd rather sleep in. That's where skylight shades come in! They'll keep your room cool, dark, and cozy so you can stay in dreamland a bit longer than usual.

Beat the Heat in the Kitchen with Skylight Shades

Many homes have fewer windows in their kitchens since they can be in an interior room or in a space where cabinets and appliances occupy the majority of the available walls. However, there's plenty of overhead room for skylights, and many builders and homeowners utilize skylights to bring in more natural light to an otherwise dark space.

We know your AC works overtime during our hot Georgia summers, and when you add in baking a birthday cake, that kitchen can heat up fast! Outfitting it with cellular shades for skylights helps block excess heat, keeping your kitchen cooler and more comfortable year-round.

Protect Your Sunroom with Skylight Shades

You often find skylights in the sunroom to maximize natural light in the sunniest room of the house. And while this is what a sunroom is for, it's good to give the room (and those in it) breaks from the UV rays coming through the skylight. UV rays, if left unchecked, can fade floors, furniture, and decor you spent so long picking out. However, keeping your skylight shades drawn during the high afternoon helps protect your space. Of course, if you're in there and want full sun, you can open the shades. It's the best of both worlds; with skylight shades, you'll enjoy the sunshine on your terms.

Motorized Skylight Shades Are a Must

Skylights are the most difficult-to-reach windows in your home, and because of this, you'll want to customize them with the SkyLift® system featuring innovative PowerView® Automation by Hunter Douglas. This feature allows you to control your skylight shades with the push of a button, a tap on your phone, or even a voice command. Moreover, you can schedule your shades to adjust automatically throughout the day, keeping your kitchen, bedroom, or sunroom comfortable without lifting a finger.
