Paper Blackout Shades

Paper blinds for windows are an ideal temporary solution for homeowners who have recently bought a house or just installed their windows. They require zero maintenance and are affordable enough for you to replace them whenever they wear out.

However, for many people, they're also a permanent solution. Imagine yourself as a student on a tight budget struggling to sleep in your dorm room with inadequate blinds. Or perhaps you're an office worker who worked overtime and just wants to sleep in a little while longer. This won't be possible with regular blinds, no matter how dark in color. As soon as the first rays of the sun hit your window and the beams filter through the sides, it's over.

That's why paper blackout blinds are universal and fit anyone who needs them. They cover your windows from edge to edge and keep natural and street light out. As they're made of paper, you can even cut them yourself if you are slightly off with the dimensions during the purchase.

Moreover, paper blackout shades require no special installation tools, making them a perfect DIY project for homeowners of any age. They feature no cords, so you can freely put them in children's rooms and ensure your little ones aren't exposed to harmful UV lights.

A wide range of blinds, shades, and shutters are on the market today. You can choose from a multitude of blackout blinds, blackout cellular shades, pull-down blackout shades, and blackout roller blinds. And if you can't find what you're looking for, some blind brands offer custom blinds.

If you don't want your room to be pitch-black, compare room darkening vs. blackout shades. These products sound similar, but they have different qualities and have their own respective purposes.
