    We had some very similar-looking Swedish blinds (didn’t know until right now that they’re particularly Swedish haha, but we encountered them when we first moved to Stockholm so I guess that makes sense!) in our last rental (tiny) house and I thought they worked really well as a simple window treatment for gentle light-blocking and privacy. Ours were light white linen and diffused (not really blocked) the light really nicely so that we were even able to sleep quite OK in the middle of the Swedish summer. I imagine that similar blinds would be very simple to construct and use, and a heavier, darker fabric would definitely do a better job of light blocking while still being simple and unfussy to look at and open/close. 🙂

    Hi Erin! It’s summer-ish weather now, would you consider a post on sustainable adult sun hats? I googled it and found a few articles about brands new to me, on the conscious life and style dot come site (also new to me). Thank you!

      I opt for straw hats in the summertime. Cute and eco friendly.
