Does anyone have any good ideas on how I can block up my window without spending a fortune. I need to stop the light from getting in and my window is pretty big. I am thinking about buying some material and then somehow attach it to the wall.

Try handmade mulberry paper. You can find them in stationary stores. They come in big sheets. Nice design and will filter out the light (or soften the harshness of direct light), but not block completely.

That is a good idea thanks

Tin foil. It worked in college.

curtains? the fabric you want is called am ma (blackout) not an ma

I was going to suggest tin foil as well. 100% blockage and easily removed. Cheap too!

I bought a roll of brown packing paper and tape a piece over my window. It's not perfect but it's really cheap and helps a lot.

Rotate your room 90 degrees.

I just used a blanket that was in my closet. Put three small nicks along one side/end of the blanket, bought some of those painting holders that you stick to the wall. It worked better than my curtains. Total cost 1000 won or so.

I've got a huge window that they took the curtain rack outta the wall to wallpaper and never bothered to put back.
Will have a look for fabric but thinking tin foil may be the way to go, or a whole stack of those soju girl posters.

This thread should be named how to ghetto your pad.
