I'm looking for some temporary shades for my new house so I can have privacy until I find the window coverings I really want. RediShade is very inexpensive, but does it look cheap on the window too?

I bought them for almost all the windows in our new house. They don't exactly look 'cheap', and I'd like to think that most people understand that you don't just want to throw up coverings for the sake of doing it. Plus, if you clip the shades in the middle, they make cute little fan shapes that look kinda fancy. You could also dress them up with a little paint or ribbon or trim.

They look cheap up close, but it's worth having them. Who wants the peeping toms. From far away, they look great. You need to make an even cut to fool people. It's a nice temporary fix til you know where you want the blinds and how the sun comes in. I recommend going with top up/bottom down on some of the windows. It's a pain closing/opening/clipping them if you have a lot of them.

No, but be sure to get the ones that filter in some light. People are amazed when they see mine and realize they are made of paper. The best part is you can cut them to fit any size window. Window treatments are expensive, so these are a great temp blind, after 1 year they start to get a little ragged if you use the window.

I used them in our rental house and they look good for being inexpensive.

It is what it is. If you just need something temp. then they will do the trick.
