You need to buy lined shades. Before you do, try spray painting the insides of the shades white Often it will work. Good example of why lined shades are so important…particularly black shades.

Never knew that! Thank you @JudyG Designs I'll research some lined shades. Do you know of any you prefer?

All that is needed from you is the desired spec's (ideally, a shop drawing), quantity, or at least a picture of the shade that you'd like to be and send all that info to the email above.
