We used a good block out curtain material. When making curtains, your material is 1.5 x the width of your window and then add around 10cm to your height for the hems. Sew curtain tape on the top, your hems and your done!

    in the long run, it has been entirely worth the expense! an expensive addition for such a minor feature
