How do I block half the light in a room??
When I open the laundry room doors, the light from the room "invades" the family room and "ruins" the TV viewing plus it is awkward. Help me with a design to block just half the light -some kind of ceiling fixture to block half the light so it stays in the laundry room ONLY!!!!! Pictures too would help! LOVE you DIYers!!!

Don't turn on the light in the laundry room. Or do laundry when not watching TV. If someone in the household gets annoyed that you are doing laundry, you have bigger problems and maybe they should be doing their own laundry! Sorry to sound so mean, but this is just too petty to be entertained. In the grand scheme of life there are far more important things to worry about . . .
I am not "worried" just wondering if there is a light shade of some kind that can help - looking for a creative solution. I would not trust my babies to do their laundry - just trying to make it better for all - whew!
how do I do one around the light? I am looking for a a light shade for half the light... I thought there would be some creative souls out there who would understand this need - so sorry it is so complicated....
What about a dimmer...that way you can have a little light in the laundry room while it won't be so bright outside of the room. . Another idea , maybe a plug in lamp, that wouldn't be visible from the other room, and don't use the overhead light.
just putting in my two cents worth...all my kids did their own laundry, by the time they were in 8th grade. Not only did I not have to waste my time fishing pens out of pockets. It stopped a lot of extra laundry,
