I packed blankets around the base of my leaky water heater. Will my house burn down?
Go to the automotive store or the home center store and get a roll of reflective material. You squeegee it on and trim the edges to make it fit. You will still be able to see out, but on the outside it's like looking at a mirror. The suns rays will be reflected away from the room and that should go a long way toward cooling the room. Good Luck AL Edit: What? That's crazy! Do Not use dark fabrics for curtains, they will absorb heat and bring it into the room. It you are going to put up drapes, be sure that they are eithe a light ( white ) color, or have a liner that is light colored. Light colors reflect light and heat, dark colors absorb light and heat!

Ceiling fan helps circulate the air in the room from the top. providing a consistent breeze. It would pull the air conditioning around your room. Are your curtains dark? Even with the tinted window, dark fabric would help.
