I work late and usually sleep in so light became a problem for me. Got these shades in hopes that it’d help but I’m so disappointed with the results. I got gray and my room is INSANELY bright with these shades. I lifted them up and the light in the room was still the same. The blinds I had before these were better and I can’t sleep with these from how bright the room is unfortunately. Sometimes our neighbors car would come through the garage at night and the car lights would just light my entire room up even with the shades. Horrible and extremely thin.
