Black out shades and curtains are a winning combo. My bedroom is so dark and cool now I’d never wake up if it wasn’t for the alarm.

I also highly recommend these curtain rods.

u/ancient_aged · 2 pointsr/datingoverforty

Something like this. I have two patio doors in my house and while they don't face anywhere anyone can see in and are double-paned, they are still cold. All other windows have blinds except a sidelight (another sewing project). Curtain rod..

There is a lot of stuff on the shelves that can be boxed up.

Trophies, nick nacks, random things just taking up space. Choose only what you really want displayed.

Then curtains and stuff on the walls.

For curtains...simple is best.

Black double curtain rods

set of 2 Semi sheer back curtains


2 of these navy blue blackout curtains


Its worth it to do the double curtain setup in my opinion...but you can save money by just doing the blackout curtains.

Just remember...get curtains with grommet holes and not the scrunchy top curtains. They are cheaper but they look cheaper. Spend a few extra bucks and find curtains with grommets.

And since this is a double window, don't get a thin/flimsy curtain rod. Get a beefy looking curtain rod. That way the rod wont droop under the weight of blackout curtains

Nice looking place!
I'd get a matching wooden square tray to group your bottles in. This would tie your coffee table and console nicely.

 

The bed is in the nook behind the sofa? That's an awesome layout! As mentioned, a [curtain] (https://www.amazon.com/ALLZONE-84-124inch-Drilling-Collapse-Stainless/dp/B075ZT2FYV/ref=sr_1_4/146-6633519-1236965?ie=UTF8&qid=1525047969&sr=8-4&keywords=long+tension+rods+for+curtains) would be good. There's a lot of art in your place; I'd go with white or beige. Ditto for a room divider instead. I like that up-light affect behind the sofa; think it'd look cool with two lights (led) behind a translucent divide. Maybe have them plugged into a power strip on the living room side, so you just flip the switch.

 

I think a world markety woven basket [-like this, maybe more reds- ] (https://www.amazon.com/Ten-Thousand-Villages-Basket-Ribbon/dp/B017MAKVF4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1525052584&sr=8-5&keywords=woven+basket+with+lid)would look good in your place, and it could hold your weights and resistance bands. Maybe by the plant beside the couch. Also, I think the reading chair needs a floor lamp.

 

There's something I would do that might sound odd. The far wall is a focal point, and it's kind of busy / cluttered feeling. I would take some fabric (a cut bed sheet would do) and tack it on the top underside of your table. This would hide the stools beneath it, making it a solid block in the corner; break up the flow of frenzy on that wall. I'd put a table lamp on the table for ambient lighting.

 

Here's a couple crazy things I'd do. I'd get some Krylon Fusion spray paint and paint the legs of that little side table reddish brown. Then I'd use it as a plant stand on the other side of the sofa, with the woven basket beneath it. Then I'd get a wooden side table or nightstand- anything with distressed wood like the coffee table. I'd put a coat of gloss black paint just on top, tying it in. I'd also put a thin floor lamp behind it, for reading on the couch. If I was ambitious, I'd hang a cool paper pendant light in the corner- but not that ambitious.

u/ppatra · 2 pointsr/india

I'm currently installing this thing: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01N9DAI4Z/ and amazon also provided plastic dowels to anchor the screws, to put the platic bits I'll have to drill a bigger hole. That's why I'm just drilling the current holes a bit deeper and putting the screws without plastic bits.

btw thank you for answering all my questions. 😊

u/PM_ME_UR_REDPANDAS · 2 pointsr/DIY

How about a double curtain rod? Usually the inner rod is used for a sheer, but there’s no reason you can’t use regular blackout curtains on both, doubling the darkening effect. This one in particular wraps around back to the wall so light doesn’t come in from the sides, or you can use some Velcro to affix the sides to the wall. You might still get some light coming in from the top, but you could easily cut out a piece of cardboard and stick it to the top of the window frame - big enough to block light but small enough so it doesn’t interfere with the opening and closing of the curtains. The nice thing about these curtain rods is that they’re extendable, so you can make them much wider than the window.

u/sammyinthesky · 2 pointsr/povertyfinance

Also, you can even get a "energy efficient" curved curtain rod along with the block out curtains. The curtain being able to slide around the curved corner, can go all the way to the wall, not leaving a gap between Window and curtain. Makes a difference with keeping heat/cold in place.

u/incompetentdesigner · 2 pointsr/malelivingspace

Came in to say this. I've been looking for thick blackout curtains on a small budget lately and the best I've been able to come up with are liners like the ones above. You can find them on Amazon as well. It's even better than having a black/dark curtain because it will absorb even less heat from the sun as white will bounce back a LOT of IR light.

Edit: There are also curtain rods that come with two rails, to hang sheer curtains between the window and the thicker curtains. You can use that to have two sets. White curtains and the whatever other color you want.

Thanks!

I really wanted to make a jig and I tried using my grandfather’s old sketchy router but I think I had dull bits or just used it incorrectly (highly possible) but it was a fiasco. My wife was happy, so I let it slide.

Here’s the wire and clips we used:

i was thinking a tension rod like:
https://www.amazon.com/RoomDividersNow-Premium-Tension-Curtain-120in-150in/dp/B01HFQHYZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523303310&sr=8-1&keywords=tension+rod+150+inch

They work up to 12 foot 6 inches. Then you can attach whatever you want on it, like a dog leash or just cable strips

u/ImYoungxD · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

Get a tension rod and curtain that blocks sun which is probably $20 or less total.

I see that you need 10-12 ft...

You'll need a bigger tension rod like https://www.amazon.com/RoomDividersNow-Premium-Tension-Curtain-120in-150in/dp/B01HFQHRE8?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1

And 2-4 curtains.
It'll be around $100.

Or you can buy a room divider https://www.amazon.com/s?k=room+divider&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

u/cavortingwebeasties · 1 pointr/oculus

Sensors don't have to be up high and looking down, it's just better cause it gets them out of the way for installations you leave in place and slightly less prone to occlusion. You can put the one that would be in the middle of the room just on the floor or on a table and angle it accordingly, though you might have to do the sensor setup proceedure to use it each time.

You can use poles like these or simple tripods anywhere in your room (some people use them just to keep from putting screws in the walls) to create a temporary place to mount them and route the cables.

DP to HDMI should work fine for the TV. I love my Vive Link Box for a similar purpose (frees up my only hdmi for my projector in my case), which makes the cabling for extending the headset easy because it's not finicky about brands/models, but for just running your TV probably any ole dp>hdmi will work.

u/chief_erl · 1 pointr/woodstoving

That looks like an ok system, the brush looks like it’s meant to spin from a drill. Typically i would use something like this.

https://www.amazon.com/Rutland-Products-16906-Chimney-Cleaning/dp/B000FKDMLO

As for the rods you can get button lock or ones that screw together, both work fine. Make sure the rods will fit the brush, if they’re screw- together rods they are typically two sizes, 3/8” and 1/2”, just make sure the brush head is the same size threads. Example of type of rods I use below.

https://www.amazon.com/Midwest-Hearth-Fiberglass-Chimney-18-Foot/dp/B0778XH959/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540224460&sr=8-1-fkmr1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=chimney+rods+1%2F2%E2%80%9D

As far as cleaning the chimney yourself that’s fine. Many people do it themselves. As long as you have a basic understanding of how things are set up and what is safe (or unsafe) you should be ok. Like if I come to clean your chimney I’m looking everything over to make sure it’s all still connected properly, nothing has decayed or been damaged and everything is installed to code. I look for the type of soot that I’m getting out of it, is it creosote or powdery? As this will tell me about your wood quality and burning habits. So IMO you should have it swept professionally at least every couple of years if you are not sure. But if a sweep has already inspected the chimney and no issues were found you are probably fine to clean your own chimney. Really up to you and how comfortable you are with the venting system.

u/pastaaaa · 1 pointr/Advice

Since it's an apartment, you probably won't be allowed to install doors or anything that would involve drilling into the walls, so I'd suggest buying some tension rods for the doorways and hanging up curtains for privacy.
