I work nights and sleep during the day. The SunSmart Blackout panels have been a life saver. They block out the sun light so I get a restful day's sleep. The panels are not heavy at all. They are light and have a beautiful pattern on them. I think they would match any decor. I am planning on buying more SunSmart Blackout curtains for more rooms in my home. Especially for the summer to keep the sun and heat out. They are well made.
