Anyone got any experiences or ideas?
We have dormer windows in the upstairs rooms. I've got venetian blinds in all the bedrooms- ours is a wooden one. previously I had roman blinds, in the recess, but they ended up mouldy on the window side due to condensation.
The problem with the blind is that there is a half inch gap down each side which allows light in- and this wakes me up early. We have a silly black out affair which we manage to fix up every night!
I don't know what other solutions there are for recessed dormers like this. Curtains would get wet against the window, and outside the recess would make IMO the room look smaller.
DH ( bless him) suggested curtains in front of the wood blind but still in the recess 
How we could fit a curtain pole there beats me.
be grateful for any ideas or ways any one has of dressing their dormer windows to exclude light. I don't want a black out roller blind because I know there is always that gap down the sides.
