  Have you ever noticed how dark a room can be when you have got curtains up at the windows?  And having to switch on your overhead light in the middle of the day is crazy (not to mention it being totally unenvironmentally friendly…).

  Even if your curtains are only made of a very thin material they can still block out a lot of the daylight.  So what can you do about it?  After all, you need to have something up at your windows.

  A lot of people having started to have vertical blinds fitted in their homes instead.  These allow a maximum amount of light into your room… and they will even help you to reduce your electricity bill!  There are also many shades and designs to choose from so you are sure to find something suitable; no matter what colour scheme you have in your room.

    I don’t know if I agree with you on this.
    Some curtains (like voile) are really thin and let plenty of light into the room.

    I’ll stick with my curtains, thanks very much.
    Blinds never block out the streetlights properly (and there is one right outside my bedroom window!).
