Cellular shades or honeycomb blinds are named for the blinds that have empty pockets of air running parallel to their seams. Although, these shades tend to resemble the traditional pleated shades, but unlike the pleated shades, the honeycomb shades are composed of at least two sheets of fabric with one sheet facing the room and the other one faces the outdoors. This gives you the flexibility of opting for colours to match the interior as well as the exterior décor of the room.
