Hi All,
After ages of searching, I finally found a Roller blind that I really like & matches the decor in my room with the type of design I was looking for.
I bought the following blind as it was a dark grey/black pattern combo I wanted & it seemed quite tightly weaved & I thought it would be perfect for the job. Also, being very dark & tightly weaved, I did not think there would be an issue with excessive light coming through - no way for me to check in store as it was all packaged up & once opened, the store would not accept returns.
I was very happy with the way it looked but boy, in the morning, it lets in so much light that it really does not seem to be that much of a help or benefit - the sun is still able to shine quite brightly into the room which is very distracting. I cannot return it or find anything else similar & was wondering if there are any tips or tricks of the trade that I can use to make it so that I can reduce the amount of light coming through?
Out of desperation, I have thought of applying to the back of the blind things like spray paint, various types of tapes, glueing another piece of cloth/material etc but am concerned that it might might work or the blind may not roll up properly!
As it is a large Roller Blind - 180cm Wide x 160cm Long, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Bozzi!
