Hi - we've just bought some new blackout curtains...... unfortunately did not realise that the eyelet design would let in light...
We also have some 7 year old blackout blinds underneath - they were letting in light at the top and sides (which is why we bought the curtains!)
The light is not helping me sleep.... and wondered if anyone had any ideas...
I have heard of those blinds that can be velcroed or stuck on - but if there is any other solution that looks more decorative then that would be better.
Should we invest in some blinds that go on the outside of the window frame (currently have a roller that fits in side, 1cm gap between start of blind and window frame).
Just a bit annoyed as new curtains cost and I wish I had realised that eyelets would let in the light.
