Light Gaps on Blackout Roller Shades
Even though blackout blinds promise a complete black out through its fabric, it is still possible for light gaps to occur on the sides of the shades. This is because manufacturers typically take deductions on the fabric, especially on inside mounted shades, to ensure a perfect fit with your windows. To help with this issue, side channels or light blockers for blinds are available as an add-on to any blackout shade. They come with easy installation and would surely address the discomfort from light seeping through the sides of the shades. These channels or blockers would act as a track for roller shades as they raise or roll down.

Blinds with horizontal slats, like wood blinds, also easily allow light in between slats. But don't fret! There are many versatile window treatments that can be made blackout to suit your style. For roman shades, you can add a liner depending if you needed added insulation or a black out version.Do Room Darkening Fabrics Effectively Block Light?
