in our area it doesn't get dark until about 9:30-10:00p.m which is past my daughters bedtime. the problem is it is still very bright in her room. Does anybody have any ideas to make her rook darker at night? anybody have GOOD room darkening shaades to recommend? ↓

They do have room darkening shades at most stores.They are the are the roll up kind. I actually use 2 twin sheets folded over a cutrain rod side by side and have a lace valance on top. This makes the room darker and I also have the roll up shade.
Good luck! ↑

Try using Roman Blinds...they let some light in so it's not completely dark but they help to keep the brightness out. Just get a dark color. Or hang a sheet thoes always work. You can also do a search online for Room Darkening Blinds, you get a ton of results or go into your local walmart or any store that sells home furnishings and talk to someone about what ur looking for. Good luck ↑

this idea is kinda ghetto! But sometimes I use tin foil. It is cheap and it works. So just an idea!! LOL ↑

You could also hang a dark colored tarp in the window ↑

hi, they do sell the liner to attach to your curtains or look up online blackout curtains and also walmart.com, i loked into them for the summer to keep the house cool and in winter keep it warm cuz i guess they help save money in the long run, also if you have a fan run that at night in the room cuz it helps kids sleep later and through the night its the best thing ever, it kinda soothes them and drownds out the sounds in the house ↑

/4" Single Cell Blackout
Our 3/4" black out honeycomb shades are our least expensive black out shade, so they are VERY popular. They are available in a rainbow of colors, from pale neutrals to rich, deep tones. These window shades do not allow any light through the material, and they're backed by white for a uniform window coverings appearance on the front of your home. An occasional vacuuming is all that's needed to keep these window shade ... (see Detailed Info Tab below)
