Honeycomb Shades for Softer Light and a Layered Look

Honeycomb (cellular) shades can be worth considering when a room calls for a soft, pleated look alongside everyday light and privacy control, and potentially a bit of extra insulating benefit at the window.

Understanding Honeycomb Shades

Honeycomb shades use a pleated, air-pocket construction that can bring a softer, more textured look to a window while still offering practical light and privacy control.

A consultation is the place to compare cell size, fabric opacity, and lift options against the room's light, privacy, and style needs.

What to consider before you choose

Cell size

Smaller and larger cell sizes can be compared side by side to see how each affects the shade's stack height and overall look.

Fabric opacity

Sheer, light-filtering, and room-darkening fabrics behave differently — reviewing samples in your own room helps clarify the choice.

Cordless and, depending on the line, motorized lift can be discussed alongside how the shade will actually be used day to day.

Honeycomb Shades FAQ

Double-cell shades generally use two rows of cells instead of one; your designer can show samples of each and discuss what's available for your project.
