New Upstairs Blinds

Now that we have a new window in the master bedroom, I could finally get new blinds. The old ones were vinyl and they ripped long ago, so they were thrown out with the old window. 
For the first time we ordered custom blinds to fit the new windows. They are cellular shades and fit the window nicely. Visually it’s a big improvement on the vinyl one.
They sit perfectly within the window casing.
While we were ordering, we got a matching shade for the 2nd bedroom. Because of the moulding around the window, this one doesn’t sit as nice and flush to the glass, it sticks out past the trim. One day when everything of ‘higher priority’ is done, I will work on fixing this...
And now we know: the new blinds are great, but I’m not sure they actually darken the room that much. The white seems to just diffuse the sunlight. During the day this is actually really nice because the room can be bright but still have privacy.
