Home Theater & Media Room Shades in Columbus, OH
The best picture in a media room starts at the windows. Glare washes out a projector and a TV alike, so the room has to go dark when the movie starts.
We install both the shades and the Draper projection screen, so the whole room works together. The owner measures and installs everything.
The setup
One command, lights out
Blackout shades
Room darkening roller or cellular shades with side channels to stop edge light. See blackout shades.
Motorization
Motorized shades in a “movie night” scene with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, or SmartThings.
Draper screen
A motorized or recessed Draper projection screen that drops as the shades close.
Daytime use
Solar or light filtering layers so the room still works as a family room by day.

Common questions
Media room questions we get asked
What shades are best for a home theater?
Blackout roller or cellular shades with side channels give the darkest room. Motorizing them lets the shades close together with the screen and lights in one scene.
Can my shades and projection screen work together?
Yes. We install both, so motorized shades and a motorized Draper screen can be set up to run together from a remote, app, or voice assistant.
Can a media room still be used during the day?
Yes. A light filtering or solar layer handles daytime glare while keeping the view, and the blackout layer comes down for movies.
How much does a media room setup cost?
It depends on the number and size of windows, the shades, motorization, and the screen. You get a written, firm quote after a free in-home consultation.
