Theres these blinds that have a reflective side so your room won't even heat up as much as it would with black courtains.
EDIT: I wasn't on reddit for a bit so I didn't even know my comment gained so much attention, sorry. Heres a link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0798LHHHK
Basically just search for thermal blinds, you will most likely find something. Unlike black courtains, these blinds won't absorb as much sunlight so they won't heat up as much. They can also make a room much darker and because of their mounting position you can still mount normal courtains to make it look less clean/sterile.

Here is also a similar one on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Swan-Skyline-Perforated-Night-Shades/dp/B00SDOSC2I
Definitely agree. Putting two big potted plants by the corners would be a big improvement. Something like Swiss Cheese Plants or Umbrella Plants. I'd also hang something up behind the couch/bench to keep it from looking so industrial. I think I'd hang bamboo blinds like these, and then hang a good sized mirror over them to add depth to the space.
I think someone has just taken a matchstick blind (or two) and tented them over their bed. https://www.amazon.com/PASSENGER-PIGEON-Bamboo-Filtering-Valance/dp/B07H974C33/ref=pd_sbs_201_2/136-6069294-6223924

These are fairly easy to cut to size (width-wise) with some pruning shears. I have them on my porch. Don't cut the length, though. They'll unravel.
For that length make sure the motors are the AC type which plug into a wall outlet. I've tried the kind with lithium batteries inside that charge with little solar cells: didn't work.
Get the shades from anywhere. Ensure it's a 1.5" thick tube. Then install these:

Remember to buy the remote control and Broadlink IR separately. When it comes to programing first install the IHC app, set an account (free), enable that skill in alexa, then link them. To add the blinds in the ihc app I had to select them as a "lamp," then manually teach the broadlink the controls. Just change the name from lamp to blinds and you're good.
You can purchase blackout shades in a similar style to the existing ones. There are also small L tracks that you can put on the walls that will cut out any bleeding around the edges of the blind. If you like the look of the shades better I would look into this. You'll have to dig around to find the right height and width.

PS - as a new father of a 7 month old, anything to help the baby (and you) sleep is well worth it! You'll thank yourself when you get back from the hospital!
I understand, however, I did find these which are of similar style, they are 100% blackout and come in 20 different colors
Have you tried that kind of thing? It's pretty cheap where I am. (Don't forget to pick the right size for your windows)
Here's another option

If you want it automated you would have to do something yourself with arduino

I might go with something like bamboo slat window blinds/shades.
Cheap and pre-rigged. Might weather better. :D
