Perfectly fine the way it is. Mylar is only marginally more reflective than good ol' flat white paint.

Mylar isn't very washable either. If you want to line your room with something... you could try panda plastic. White on the inside for reflection and black on the o/s to block out light.

Aluminium foil reflects 70-75% of light, white paint 80-85%, mylar 90-95%.

I personally think if you don't wanna be the top dealer of your state, white paint is just fine.
