Q&A: What is the best window treatment to block most all light from coming in?
Question by User Name: What is the best window treatment to block most all light from coming in?
I’m a night shift worker. I’ve used foil before, and would prefer not to. I don’t want the neighbors wondering why we have foil on the windows. If there is an item I can buy in a store that would do the trick and look nice at the same time, I’d much prefer that. Thanks.
While I do appreciate the creative response to tint the windows :o) this home is a rental, and tint removal would take longer and be more of a hassle than it would probably be worth. thank you anyways though!

It doesn’t have to be thick or expensive, just not let the light in. Get a large piece of cardboard, recycled from a large box or poster board. Put it over the entire window opening and secure with tacks, or if you don’t mind, duct tape, and hang a scarf or wall hanging over it. If it still leaks light, a little tape should seal it up, but be careful about your walls if you rent. You can paint the poster board so it looks nicer, or hang a pretty scarf, put some window decorations or whatever in the window area so your neighbors don’t mind. It all can go up and come down in a matter of minutes, so a change in shift won’t take up alot of time. Sleep tight.

It depends what kind of style you like. I love plantation shutters for a variety of reasons. They let in or keep out light very well, insulate your windows well and last a long time. They’re also classic so never go out of style. I like the wider slatted ones. They’re pretty expensive though! I’m getting ready to move out on my own again after divorce and won’t be able to afford them so I’m pondering about what to get on the windows at my next place. Maybe just simple mini blinds and nice curtains.
