Q:
Do honeycomb shades look the same from the outside as they do inside my home?
What color is the back side of the honeycomb cellular shades? I would like both sides the same color. Does Blinds Chalet offer a honeycomb cellular shade that doesn't have white on the street side or the side of the cell shade that you see when looking at your home from outside?
A:
No, while you can choose a wide range of colors for the interior side of your honeycomb shades, the street-facing side is almost always designed in a neutral shade (typically white or off-white). This ensures a clean, uniform look from the outside of your home, no matter which fabric color you choose inside.Q: Why are honeycomb cellular shades white on the street side?
A: Manufacturers design them this way for curb appeal and neighborhood uniformity. White or neutral backs reflect more sunlight, helping with insulation and energy efficiency while also keeping your windows looking consistent from outdoors.
Q: Can I request a custom street-side color for my shades?
A: In most cases, the street side is fixed to a neutral color. This not only maintains exterior aesthetics but also helps maximize energy performance. If exterior color is a top priority, you may want to explore cellular shade options with different fabrics or ask about special-order possibilities.
Q: Will the outside color affect the light inside my room?
A: No — the neutral street-side fabric is separate from the interior-facing fabric you choose. The color you select for the inside of your honeycomb shades will determine the look and feel of your room. The street side is purely for exterior appearance and performance.
