The Best Noise Reducing Blinds for Windows

Thought your blinds didn’t count for much when it comes to reducing noise in a room? Think again. While no blinds or window treatments will completely sound-proof your space, there are definitely some that do a handy job of lessening it.

So whether you want to minimise noise in a nursery or child’s room (and hopefully maximise sleep!), you live close to a busy road or your neighbours like to party, here are some of the best options for noise reducing window treatments:

Curtain

It makes sense that window treatments made from fabric will help muffle outside noise; the thicker the curtains, the more they’ll help to absorb sound. Really want to milk your window treatments for their sound-reducing qualities? Pair your curtains with another type, like cellular shades, for twice the effect (that also packs a stylish punch!).

Roman blind

Like curtains, roman shades work at reducing some outside noise because they’re made from fabric. If sound reduction is important, choose roman blinds crafted from a thicker fabric and add a privacy or blackout shade to give your window treatment even more precious, noise-absorbing layers.
