Honeycomb Shades
also known as Cellular Shades

Product Overview

Cellular Structure

Honeycomb shades (also known as cellular shades) are made from soft, durable fabric formed into a unique cellular (or “honeycomb”) shape. You can choose from single, double, or even triple-cell construction—each offering varying levels of insulation, light diffusion, and energy efficiency.

These layered air pockets act as a thermal barrier, helping stabilize indoor temperatures year-round by trapping heat in winter and repelling it in summer. That means a more comfortable home and potentially lower utility bills, especially in rooms exposed to direct sun or drafty conditions. Beyond climate control, their cellular design also softens external noise, creating a quieter, more restful environment. If you’re comparing window treatments for busy spaces like living rooms, nurseries, or home offices, honeycomb shades provide an impressive balance of performance and style without adding bulk to the window.

Lift Operation

Go cordless for a clean, safe look, opt for continuous cord loops for larger windows, or embrace convenience with motorized controls—perfect for hard-to-reach areas or smart home integration.

Modern motorized systems can be scheduled to open with the morning light, paired with voice assistants, and grouped by room for effortless control throughout the day. With built-in rechargeable batteries or hardwired options, you can choose the setup that best fits your space and usage. For added peace of mind, cordless and motorized controls reduce clutter and improve child and pet safety without sacrificing precision. Whether you’re outfitting a single window or coordinating an entire home, consistent controls create a polished, cohesive feel that’s as practical as it is beautiful.

Inside or Outside Of The Frame

Choose an inside mount for a streamlined, recessed look or an outside mount to cover more window area and enhance light-blocking. We’ll recommend the best fit based on your windows and goals.

Inside mounts highlight attractive trim and are ideal when you want a clean, architectural finish; just ensure there’s enough depth to accommodate the headrail. Outside mounts, on the other hand, add visual height, help conceal uneven casings, and can reduce light gaps—great for media rooms or bedrooms. During a professional measure, we account for frame depth, obstructions like handles, and desired overlap so your installation delivers smooth operation, optimal coverage, and a tailored appearance that complements your room’s proportions.

Light Control Level

Honeycomb shades come in sheer, light-filtering, and blackout options. Whether you want a soft glow or total darkness, there’s a fabric opacity to suit your space and privacy needs.

Sheer and light-filtering materials gently disperse daylight while maintaining a sense of openness, making them ideal for living areas and kitchens. Blackout fabrics are engineered with light-blocking layers that minimize glare and support restful sleep—perfect for bedrooms and nurseries. For flexible spaces, consider top-down/bottom-up configurations to balance privacy with daylight control, or pair room-darkening liners with light-filtering fabrics in layered designs. With the right opacity, you can fine-tune ambiance, protect furnishings from UV exposure, and set the mood for work, relaxation, or entertainment.

Color

From modern neutrals to warm earth tones and cool greys, honeycomb shades are available in a wide palette to complement any room. Match your décor or make your windows the statement piece—your call.

To refine the look, select textured weaves for organic dimension or sleek, matte finishes for a contemporary edge. Coordinated rails and discreet hardware keep the focus on your fabric choice, while custom widths and drops ensure a perfect, made-for-your-space result. If you’re exploring options for a whole-home refresh, consider building a palette that flows from room to room—soft taupes in bedrooms, crisp whites in kitchens, and deeper charcoals for media areas. For local homeowners interested in honeycomb shades in Orange County, we can help tailor colors to coastal light conditions and modern interiors, offering swatches and in-home guidance so the final selection harmonizes with your paint, flooring, and furnishings.

We have had fabulous experience with Rich at Cali Coast Shutters & Shades! We've now had five shades installed with Rich and it's been an easy process on all occasions. Rich is responsive, attentive, and provides helpful and practical suggestions. Scheduling was a breeze and installation was done promptly. Our shades look gorgeous and work beautifully. The value you receive for custom shades is second to none. We would absolutely recommend Rich for your future shade and shutter needs!

Rich was awesome to work with. Super responsive and had great suggestions for our windows, since we are first time homeowners and didn't really know what to get. He also went the extra mile for us when the shutters on our long windows didn't look quite right, and now they look fantastic! Very happy with Cali Coast and will definitely order from them again if we need any other window coverings.
