Blackout curtains

Blackout curtains for better sleep and more control over light

Morning light is a lovely way to start the day—but not always in the bedroom. Blackout curtains help block unwanted light and create a calmer space to rest. They can reduce early daylight, streetlights and bright summer evenings to help make your bedroom more comfortable for sleep.

They offer more than darkness, too. Blackout curtains can soften outside noise, help protect furniture from fading in the sun and create a calm, sheltered feel at home.

Why choose blackout curtains?

Blackout curtains have several uses, making them a practical choice for different rooms:

Reduce light – ideal for bedrooms, children’s rooms and TV areas
Help you sleep better – less disturbance from light outside
Soften noise – for a calmer feel in the room
Help protect from the sun – reduce fading on textiles and furniture
Help regulate the room temperature – keep heat out in summer and draughts at bay in winter

Which rooms are blackout curtains best for?

Bedroom

Blackout curtains are especially popular in bedrooms. They help create a dark, calm space for restful sleep, whatever the season or light outside.

Children’s room

In a child’s room, they can help create a calmer setting for naps and bedtime. Less light can make it easier to settle down.

Living room

Blackout curtains can be useful in living rooms, too—for example, to reduce glare on the TV or make the room feel cosier.

Materials, colours and designs

Blackout curtains come in a wide range of styles, well beyond heavy, rigid fabrics. Explore options including:

Colours: from classic white to beige, grey and green
Materials: velvet for an elegant look or linen-look fabrics for a natural feel
Designs: plain, textured or patterned styles to suit your home

It’s easy to bring function and style together.

Blackout curtains with multiway heading tape

Many of our blackout curtains have multiway heading tape, giving you a few different ways to hang them:

from the loops
using the rod pocket
with curtain hooks or rings on a pole

This makes it easy to fit them to your existing setup, whether you have a curtain pole or a curtain track. Many styles also have an extra hem allowance (around 7 cm), so they may fit without needing to be shortened.

Pair them with other window and home textiles

Create a coordinated look by pairing your blackout curtains with other home textiles, such as:

Cushion covers
Bedspreads
Throws

You can also combine them with other window coverings for even more control over the light. Explore:

Blackout roller blinds
Blackout pleated blinds

Tips for choosing the right level of light control

Choose the level of light reduction that suits your needs:

Room darkening – for a very dark room
Light filtering – softens the brightness while still letting daylight through

It’s also worth checking the size. Curtains should ideally be a little wider than the window to help reduce light coming in at the sides.

Blackout curtains for a more comfortable home

As well as helping manage light, blackout curtains can contribute to a more comfortable room. Heavier fabrics offer an extra layer of insulation:

In winter: help reduce draughts and keep the room warmer
In summer: help keep out heat and direct sunlight

That means more comfort throughout the year.

Blackout curtains: practical, versatile and easy to style

Blackout curtains bring practicality and style together. They help darken a room, create a calmer atmosphere and make everyday life more comfortable—whether they’re in the bedroom, children’s room or living room.
