LightGuard360™ by Norman — The Best Blackout Shade for a Peaceful Night’s Sleep

I installed this beautiful product yesterday — and just look at this adorable nursery!

When it comes to room darkening shades, most people don’t realize that even the best “blackout” shades still allow light to sneak in around the edges. Traditional roller shades can have light gaps as small as ¼ inch — or even up to ½ inch — on each side, and at the bottom where the shade meets the sill. And as we all know, light finds a way through!


That’s why I’m so excited about LightGuard360™ by Norman — it’s a fully integrated, light-sealed system that virtually eliminates light leaks from every angle.


It’s perfect for: Nurseries and children’s rooms. Shift workers who need a dark room for daytime sleep, and teenagers who love a true blackout look


This is the only true blackout shade I’ve ever found that performs this well — and it’s as stylish as it is functional. The LightGuard360™ system is available in a wide range of colors, fabrics, and textures, and can be customized as cordless or motorized for ease and safety.



Finishing Touches that Make It Custom

To complete the look, I added decorative drapery side panels — such a simple upgrade that completely transformed this “normal” window into a truly custom design. I recently added a new quick-ship line of drapery panels that arrive in about 10 days and offer a fantastic price point. The brushed gold hardware is absolutely stunning and adds a warm, elegant touch to any space.


The lighting in my photos doesn’t do it justice, but the before-and-after is incredible!

If you’re ready to turn your everyday windows into something special — or if you’ve been searching for a real blackout shade — I’d love to help you find the perfect solution.
