Blackout stuff

knip · 30 Jun 2007 at 19:47

Ive got two roller blinds in my bedroom, but now its so light so early in the morning, I tend to get woken up by the sun streaming in and it not being dark enough in here.
Short of me getting two new blinds, is there a blackout material I could stick to the blind so that it would roll up and down like the blind does already?

Or should I just get blackout blinds?

The only thing that puts me off new blinds is that one of the windows is an odd shape, not very wide yet long, and I know it was a faff to find one in the first place.

So you just saw it at the market, im not trying to be funny, I just wondered if you have seen it anywhere else?

Ikea Blackout Blind: £20.

Two of my housemates bought them, their rooms were near enough pitch black this year.

But do they come in odd widths/lengths?

Thanks a lot, but one of my blinds is 85cm wide and the other is 95cm, and I cant have them bigger or smaller due to the frames they need to screw on.
Grrrr!!
Thats why I was asking about something that would stick onto my existing ones.
