Sometimes you just want the room to be dark like properly dark. Our blackout curtains help keep unwanted light out, whether it’s early morning sunshine, streetlights or the security light with main-character energy. Available in a range of colours, lengths and finishes, they’re a simple way to make bedrooms, nurseries and living spaces feel calmer, cosier and a little more sleep-friendly.
For the best blackout effect, hang your curtains a little wider and higher than the window frame. This helps cover the edges where light likes to sneak in.If you can, choose a curtain pole or track that allows the curtains to sit close to the wall/ceiling, and make sure they’re long enough to cover the full window area. Floor-length styles can give a softer, cosier look too.
For an extra neat finish, let the curtains overlap slightly in the middle when closed. Small detail, big difference.

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.
