“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” – Leonardo da Vinci
That same idea applies to your windows. If you’re dealing with glare or heat in your Pueblo home, it’s worth asking: what are honeycomb shades?
They’re more than just window coverings. They’re smart, attractive, and built to perform. In this guide, we’ll explain what makes honeycomb shades unique, how they work, and why more Pueblo homeowners are choosing them for comfort and style.
And yes, we’ll help you get started with a free in-home consultation from our local experts.
What Exactly Are Honeycomb Shades?
Honeycomb shades, also called cellular shades, are window coverings made of fabric shaped into a series of horizontal cells.
These cells trap air inside them, creating a layer of insulation between your window and the room.
Each “cell” looks a bit like a honeycomb hence the name.
But these aren’t just about looks. They offer practical benefits that regular blinds or curtains can’t match.
Benefits That Matter to Pueblo Homeowners
1. Light Control, Your Way
You’re in charge of how much light enters the room.
Choose from light filtering or blackout options.
Want to keep things flexible? Go with top-down bottom-up shades. You can lower them from the top or raise them from the bottom. That means privacy without sacrificing natural light.
2. Noise Reduction You Can Hear
Live near a busy street? Honeycomb shades help absorb sound, making your home feel quieter. Their layered design softens traffic and other outdoor noise.
You’ll also get better insulation, which keeps your space more comfortable year-round. These shades trap air in their cells, helping reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Plus, they come in a range of styles to match your room.
3. Sleek Style Without the Fuss
These shades fit tightly in the window frame. That clean, tailored look works with nearly any décor from farmhouse to modern looks.
They’re available in dozens of colors, textures, and opacities.
You get form and function in one product.

Off-the-shelf window treatments often fall short.

Popular Types of Honeycomb Shades
We offer more than one style because no two homes or windows are the same.
Here’s what you can choose from:
Single Cell vs. Double Cell
- Single Cell: Great for mild climates and budget-conscious upgrades.
- Double Cell: Offers better insulation and noise reduction. Ideal for rooms facing direct sun.
Motorized Shades
Control your shades with a remote or smart device.
Perfect for tall windows or homeowners who love convenience.
Are Honeycomb Shades Worth It?
They’re not the cheapest option, but they’re one of the smartest.
Honeycomb shades improve comfort, reduce drafts, and help keep rooms cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. That means your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard, and you’ll likely see the difference on your energy bill.
They’re built to last, too. With good materials and proper installation, these shades stay in great shape for years.
So while the upfront cost is higher, the long-term benefits are well worth it.
