Blackout curtains in the bedroom are sleep’s best friend

If you want a good night’s sleep without any interruptions from moonlight, street lights, headlights or the sun coming up, blackout curtains for the bedroom could be the perfect window coverings for you. The heavy fabric of these thick curtains falls elegantly and evenly to the floor, having a functional light-blocking impact with a serious side of style.

Blackout curtains block light from shining through to completely darken your room at any time of day. Since any light can prevent truly restful sleep, be sure your little ones also get the peaceful naps and sleep they need to be their best by including thick curtains in nurseries and kid’s bedrooms, playrooms and any room they may doze off. Simply close the curtains once you’ve noticed their head starting to nod.

Do blackout drapes make the room hotter?

Window treatments that block out light can actually make your home more energy-efficient by keeping out drafts in the winter and heat in the summer, thereby cutting down on heat transfer through your windows. While it might seem that thick curtains would make a room retain heat—much like a thick sweater will have you sweating in the summer the same rule doesn’t apply to what our windows wear. Light blocking curtains can play an important role in keeping rooms cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Thick curtains eliminate screen glare in your home office

After starting your day admiring the sunrise with your cup of coffee or tea, getting some work done at your desk could be hindered by that very same sun. Besides helping you to sleep restfully, thick blackout drapes are great for cutting down on annoying glare on computer screens that can distract you from your work. For the same reason, thick curtains are great for delivering an authentic home theater experience in the living room or wherever you catch up on your favourite shows.
