Promising review: "Best purchase ever. These boho floral curtains are not only beautiful, but the quality and fabric material feel high-end and thick. These curtains come perfectly as described and really do black out the sunlight. The value, feel, quality, and not to mention the aesthetics, are truly worth the price. These curtains have exceeded my drape dreams and expectations. 100% I highly recommend. 🥰" —Ollie's Girl 81

Promising review: "I LOVE these!! I don’t very often write a review, but these need to be reviewed! The customer service is outstanding; they contact you after your order to make sure you ordered the right size (I have an absurdly large window and wanted to use three separate shades). We emailed back and forth a few times as I had an odd request due to the size of my windows, and they absolutely delivered! The shades came very quickly, and they are very light, very well-made, fit perfectly, easy to install, and even easier to use! Highly recommend!" —Tiffany

Promising review: "I cannot believe these are $20 — they look so elegant... I love that these are lined because I didn't want sheer or semi-sheer... I did not expect these to look so elegant. I'm looking for other colors to put some in my dining room." —Kay in Texas

Get them from Amazon for $9.53+ (available in six sizes and four colors).

Promising review: "The appearance is excellent and gives the window a colorful stained-glass look, especially when sunlight passes through it. The privacy is very good while still allowing plenty of natural light into the room. The color effect is attractive, and the film adds a decorative touch without looking cheap. Installation is straightforward, the static cling holds well without adhesive, and it can be repositioned if needed. The size is practical, the material feels durable, and the overall quality, functionality, and value for money are excellent." —Dee

Promising review: "Exactly what I needed — I live in an apartment, and my bathroom window faces where the school kids line up for the bus every morning. The blinds that came with the apartment leave a lot of gaps, but I like the natural light in the bathroom. This privacy film solves both problems! I can get ready for work in the morning without inadvertently exposing myself to the kids outside, and the sunlight still lights up my bathroom nicely. 

Since it’s static-cling, it will be easy to remove with no residue when I move. It was simple to measure, cut, and install. Spray your window with water, peel back the protective layer on your cut/measured film, and apply it to the window! Easy! If you have enough water on the window, you can move the film around to get the right fit (it’s also easy to peel off and try again). Then just squeegee the bubbles/water off, and it’s like you have expensive frosted windows." —L. Campbell

Promising reviews: "Really pretty! And it keeps my nosy neighbor and her constant flow of guests from seeing in my bedroom window! No one can see through from the outside at night with the light on, either. Really love it!" —Susan

"Super easy and gorgeous rainbow refractions. I’ve had many peel-and-stick window films, this is like the fourth I’ve tried, and definitely the most beautiful in the color of rainbows it gives off." —Jessica

Promising review: "These look great in person too, not just in the photo. I ordered the black to add some pattern and personality to my study room. They are the right amount of sheer, a soft cotton, and came out of the dryer nice enough to just hang up. If you have a living space that is just feeling bland, these curtains are a great way to add some charm and personal style." —Jules

Promising review: "These curtains are beautiful! The color was exactly as pictured. Elegant and adds a bit of jazz to my dining room. I would definitely recommend." —Tammie

Promising review: "I’m really happy with these thick wooden blinds! They feel sturdy and well-made, look beautiful, and do a great job of blocking out light. They give the room a nice, polished look and seem like they’ll hold up well. Great quality for the price!" —Rebecca Blum

Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in two colors and many sizes).

Promising review: "We wanted curtains to let in the light, but block out the glare. These are perfect. The design is gorgeous — exactly like the photo. They go so well in the room and filter the light so that we don't get blasted with sun. It keeps the room bright, but not hot or visually too much. Highly recommend these curtains for a living room or sun room." —Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven sizes and three patterns).

Promising reviews: "One of my favorite things I have bought for our new house! I have them in my bathroom and laundry room, and want them in every room in the house! They are super easy to put up and down, and keep the sun out great when down. Would highly recommend and will definitely be buying more!!" —Mallory

"Beyond my expectations! High-end look, and so very easy to install!! Highly recommend!!" —Roni

Get it from Amazon for $40.99+ (available in five colors and many sizes). 

Promising review: "I’m not huge into curtains because I love natural light, but I know that I kinda need curtains. These curtains allow natural light to come through while adding to the decor in the room. They are see-through, but it’s not so see-through that your neighbor can see everything." —Dakota
