Equal Housing LenderBlackout Window Treatments Allow for Your Home in the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley Area
From sleeping to movie-watching, there are many activities best enjoyed in the dark. If you have small children, you know nap time being ruined by light is no fun whatsoever. However, it can be nearly impossible to darken your home’s interior when the sun is shining. Thankfully, Galaxy Draperies offers a solution: blackout window treatments.
Measuring, manufacturing, and installation is incredibly important with blackout window coverings. In order to block light, window coverings need to fit as tightly as possible within the window frame. Or as tightly to the wall around it if it’s something like draperies.
We believe in the mantra “Measure twice, cut once” so our Design Consultants get a rough measurement during your complimentary design consultation to give you your quote, and then our expert in-house Installers come back to get professional, detailed measurements for manufacturing. That way you know you’re getting the best fit possible.
Types of Blackout Window Treatments
When it comes to finding the best solution to block light in your bedroom for better sleep, or in your family room so you can watch movies without glare, we’re here to help. We have lots of options to help you gain maximum light control in your home! There’s no sacrificing on style here.
Choose from blackout window covering options like:
Layering Window Treatments to Block Light
We’re going to be blunt here – there is no window treatment that blocks every bit of light by itself. We’re sure you’ve seen window coverings that look solid, and light still spills out the top. Knowing exactly how and where light may come through, and what to do to prevent it is something we’re happy to help with.
Often, layering comes to the rescue! Layering is when you, well, layer multiple window treatments over others. For example, layer draperies over shades for more overall coverage. Or put a cornice over the top of draperies to catch light coming out the top.
We also offer side and bottom channels – that is, small window frame track parts – for roller shades that help block any light on the edges or bottom.
Whatever your style, we’ll help you find the perfect options in order to block as much light as you need in your home in Greater LA or the San Fernando Valley.
Motorization
Once your sleep is improved from a darker bedroom, there’s one more element to consider: motorized window treatments for your bedroom!
Imagine laying in bed, about to doze off, and realizing the shades are still open. With motorized window coverings, you can simply push a button on a remote to close your shades or draperies and enjoy the darkness. You also can ask Alexa, use a phone on your app, or even program a schedule so your window treatments close by themselves around the time you doze off.
If that’s not already exciting, they make waking up easier too. Studies show when we wake up to natural light, our bodies release serotonin. That chemical helps us with our moods, digestion, and even healing. Plus, let’s be honest – waking up to the sun because your shade opens automatically before your alarm goes off is much nicer of a start to your day than hearing BEEP BEEP BEEP.
And the final benefit? Motorized window coverings eliminate cords, which are dangerous for both our pets and small children.

What People Say About Us
"From scheduling our appointment to meeting with our designer, Bernadette, and the installer, Alfredo, we were met with professionalism and comforted in knowing we were dealing with people who knew what they were doing. Arrival times were well within the two-hour window. Bernadette shared her knowledge and expertise to help us choose the window treatments that best fit our needs and budget. We are so pleased with the final result and look forward to covering the rest of the window in our home."
"My wife and I recently moved and were in the market for new shades for our bathroom , living room and kitchen . We didn't really have a set vision so it was unbelievable when our designer Karen went through all the possibilities and showed us what would work well with the setup . Karen was not only very professional , she was personable and super knowledgeable about the products. I wish I could have her design the rest of our house ! Great product , great designer, great experience!"
"I would like to say that Galaxy Draperies was the best choice we've made. We recently purchased a new home and wanted to thank Bernadette for the amazing service she provided. I was referred to her by my sister, which also happened to purchase through you guys. Not only did Bernadette make me feel comfortable but it felt like I was working with family."
"Ordered Roman Shades for five windows. Designer who came to our home was nice and professional, Roman Shades arrived on time, the installation was handled by their installer who called and asked if he could come by earlier than our appointment, which was great. He was friendly, professional and did a great job! Highly recommend this company."
"I had a great experience with Galaxy. The designer presented me with several options and was very helpful in designing my window treatments. The installers were very professional, courteous, and careful! I will definitely use them in the future!"
"Galaxy Draperies was very professional, timely and responsive to the issue we had with one of the new shades. From their design team to the installation, everyone was very nice, informative and helpful. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing new window coverings."
"Great experience end to end with Galaxy. From the initial consult to the end product, communication was clear and everyone I interacted with was lovely. Highly recommended this company!"
"I just used Galaxy Draperies. I had a very heavy window covering which was mostly impossible to use. We looked at options and Galaxy Draperies suggested we use a motorized window covering. The material is beautiful and it's made so well. You can't see through from outside in yet you can see outside from inside the house. It works so quietly and solved all my problems. The wonderful lady who came to our house was great and always returned calls and did a wonderful job. I highly recommend them."
