Adelaide summer sun is up before 6am, and if your bedroom lights up with it, so does your baby, your shift-sleep, or your weekend lie-in. Proper darkness is one of the highest-value changes you can make to a home, and it is mostly about the gaps, not the fabric.
Most blockout fabric genuinely blocks light. The light you see at 6am is coming around the blind, not through it: the gaps at the sides, the top of the roll, and under the hem glow like neon in full sun. A blockout blind that is measured loose, or bought in a standard size, will never make a room dark.
Face-fit blinds with side channels or oversizing the blind well past the architrave kills the side glow. Blockout curtains with proper fullness that return to the wall at each end and either touch the floor or sit in a pelmet handle the top and bottom. The gold standard for shift workers is layering: a blockout roller for the seal plus curtains for the last of the light and the look. Roller shutters are the nuclear option: total darkness, plus quiet.
Bedroom window furnishings and young children have one non-negotiable: no looped cords. Cordless, spring-assisted and motorised options remove the risk entirely, and motorised blinds can close themselves at nap time on a schedule.
Every option above is compared honestly at your free measure, including when the cheaper one is the right call.
