What do you guys use (blinds, curtains, etc) in your HT rooms to block light?

    You can:

    1. Move HT room to basement.
    2. Watch movies at night.

    Vertical blinds work good in our family room to stop light coming through the windows from the setting sun. Reasonably priced.

    Ditto on the vertical blinds. Its not perfect, but does an adequate job.

    Try wood blinds. They seem to block out the light better then the plastic ones.

    I think I am going to try both, Wood blinds and some sort of heavy curtain. (Like in the no-tell motel)

    Thanks for the responses, I guess I'll try both vertical blinds and curtains.
