They're not pretty, but they do the job! I have Pottery Barn blackout panels for when we move to a place where we can install our own curtains but when I tested them out the paper ones were actually more effective at blocking out light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-blackout-shade-or-curtain#post-1479618 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 20:56:17 +0000 junebugmama 1479618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can buy black out fabric at most craft stores and tack it to the back of any curtains you like. I sew, but if you don't, you could always use a fuse tape, that makes a bond when you iron it, and then anything you like can instantly become black out worthy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-blackout-shade-or-curtain#post-1479615 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 20:52:12 +0000 Jewel664 1479615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks so much. Was MIA most of the day since my in-laws are in town. I'll have to check out the PB kids shades. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-blackout-shade-or-curtain#post-1477344 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 07:57:06 +0000 looch 1477344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the PB Kids blackout romans in our master, they're just ok.</p> <p>For about $100, I found the ones from Country Curtains to be even better. The downside is they're super plain, but can be dressed up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-blackout-shade-or-curtain#post-1477334 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 07:53:52 +0000 Mamaof2 1477334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one for DD room from PBK and its not all that great - light still comes in from the sides</p> <p>For DS I bought him some cheapies from Walmart and they are amazing!!!!</p> <p>I wanted to add a pic - they were too short so I added a border to match his room </p> [attach=4342/14/n22hgk.214x320.Nov-2011-258.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-blackout-shade-or-curtain#post-1477246 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 06:31:06 +0000 Anagram 1477246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IKEA has son room darkening velvet curtains that are actually pretty nice. They are too short for our 105 inch long windows though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-blackout-shade-or-curtain#post-1477233 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 06:19:21 +0000 petunia354 1477233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this blackout shade from PB Kids. They are pricey but so worth it. They roll up on their own with just a slight tug and make the room really dark. The fabric is thick and insulating as well which has been great during this frigid winter! I would definitely purchase this shade again for future nurseries/kids rooms.</p> <p>[attach=2775/14/n22csa.600x401.DSC_2178.JPG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-blackout-shade-or-curtain#post-1477227 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 05:21:43 +0000 Jewel664 1477227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking to purchase either blackout drapes or shade for LO nursery. I'm stumped after reading reviews on a few sites. Where did you purchase your shades or what brands do you recommend. </p>
