Would these work to make a room darker (these shades in addition to a standard curtain?)

They definitely don't make the room dark if you have a sheer curtain. I have a standard navy blue curtain with one and the room isn't pitch black but it blocks the light nicely. I don't think a white curtain would provide you much more than dimming the light.

It will make it slightly darker but not much. If you are looking for room darkening shades, then choose the silver or black versions - the silver one blocks about 75% of the light and the black one is a true blackout shade.

No. They will block direct sunlight, but not all of the light. You probably want black out blinds for complete darkness.

A bit, but remember they're made of paper. It's thicker than notebook paper but thinner than construction paper.

Im not 100% sure. As long as its plastic not glass you should be fine. Just dont go to dark with it because its pretty much water down paint. So the more layers you put on the less light shines through. At sum point it would just be like taking spray paint to them. And do them all at once if you want them to match.

No, they are more decorative than functional. Keep in mind that any white curtain won't block out light unless it has the blackout material on the back.

Yes. I think it would block MOST of the light, but probably not a complete black-out. After all - it's not a solid piece, but louvred. Good luck.

The round ones you use on a curtain rod? Nope as long as you use a good rod. Those flimsy, thin aluminum ones won't work and you just gave me a great idea for a background in my photo studio. :) You will need to put some grommets or whatever-the metal rings that lease a hole in the ,materiel for such purposes or something similar.

I love them....night use should be fine if there is lighting. But these are more fashion than effecient. You should be fine

Hello;Yes, definitely. We use them for that purpose and for glass-enclosed hallway lighting.

I used this on my windows in my family room (lower level split), and it actually allowed more light into the room. This does not darken the room at all.

Definitely! It ranges from light to dark so getting this in the darkest shade should work

yes, the shade will lighten up the room. The embroidery does not affect the light casting.

I can't imagine the shades working on the the curly cue light bulbs if that is whatyou had in mind. If the low wattage CFL's are encased, yes, the shades I have and that you mention would work.

I don't think they would give enough light for a completely dark walkway. I bought them for effect since my daughter is having a barn wedding and can't have real candles. They are going to be on the table.

I think it depends on the surfaces. The legs of one of my tables and my bookshelves glowed in low light. Depending on the surface (carpeting and walls, for example) might need total darkness.

Kind of depends on the room and what you're going for. Probably not. It's a fairy subdued look and the light isn't overpowering. Wouldn't recommend that for a bedroom or anything along those lines though.

Honestly, this will not reduce light inside the room. If reducing light is your goal, a curtain/blind would be a better solution. This is just window film used to maintain privacy yet still allow light inside.

I think it would, though for total room darkening you'd be better off with something like black felted cloth. This paper would definitely maker it darker, but if the sun light was directly behind it, you'd need two layers.

A medium-dark would definitely let you see a difference but wont look too dark :)
