Lightproofing window

Need to keep light from leaking out of this window but it needs to look normal from outside. Ideas?

Take pictures of the room then make a shadow box with the room pics on it so it looks like the inside but it's not

I just use a blackout curtain behind the normal shades. I use thumbnails to hang them from the ceiling

I was going to use a black out curtain but the arched windows at the top u can see the curtain from outside

Amazon has Arch Shades for that

I just looked up what a shadow box is. That thing is genius. Pricey, but is the ultimate stealth

Curtains aren’t suspicious though. So even if you can see the curtains from the outside that would seem totally normal.

Usually curtains let some light through though I can’t have any light leaking out as the window faces the road
