Room Darkening Shades? Blinds?
Comments (3)I got some socalled 'blackout cellular shades' at one of the big online dealers (justblinds.com, I believe) that were a very nice and inobtrusive design mounted on the window's interior - you can get them in numerous options, my favorite is top-down bottom-up. Really effective in blocking out all light in my bedroom, I highly recommend them. I'd spring for the most expensive ones you can afford, although the lower-end version I ordered online worked very well, and cost no more if not less than special-ordering from a big box store....See Morewindow blind ideas for living room

Comments (9)Since this will be temporary (you may find out that your kiddo as they get older doesn't like completely dark rooms - mine wants nightlights on even for naps), I would just recommend putting film on those windows. Also, get another curtain panel or two so the curtains look fuller when closed. That will help with the light seeping in on the sides. You could also raise your curtain rod; while the pooling on the floor curtains look cool, your kid will probably step on them and rip the whole thing down when they're older (accidentally, of course)....See MoreWindow Covering for Darkening
Comments (1)So you really want to put a third shade on each window? Don't do this. There is nothing wrong with having different window treatment in your house as long as the window treatment isn't to bold. For your windows: take the shades out and replace them with black out honeycomb shades. They will work perfect for darkening the room when you want. Last but not least: it looks like a kids bedroom. There shouldn't be any dangerous pull cords in this room....See MoreSuzi AKA DesertDance So CA Zone 9b
