Blackout Curtains
What are blackout curtains?
Curtains are celebrated as stylish and exciting, but they're functional too! Helping to manage external light and noise, and maintain privacy while also keeping your home warmer, curtains can be enhanced with the simple addition of a free blackout lining. A blackout lining keeps the light entering a space to an absolute minimum, and offers a range of benefits, from improved sleep to helping to relax with a nice movie. A blackout curtain will help you unwind in style!
Our customers' favourite blackout curtain colours
While every curtain can be enhanced with a blackout lining, we do have some favourites! Explore the options below and to add a blackout lining, simply enter your measurements and select the blackout option from the linings drop down menu.
The best blackout curtains for different rooms
Due to their inherent flexibility, you can add curtains to almost any room in your home. See below our favourites for the different spaces where you can enjoy blackout curtains where you live!
Blackout curtains for bedrooms
Blackout curtains are perfect for bedrooms as they keep light entering the home to a minimum, with the added benefit of outside noise reduction. This allows for better sleep which provides a range of benefits for both physical and mental health. With blackout curtains in the bedroom, you'll also benefit from improved privacy, as the lining prevents shadows and outlines from being seen from outside!
Blackout curtains for children's rooms
Quality sleep is important for all of us, but even more so for children. As a result, creating the ideal environment for children to sleep in is very important! Blackout curtains are an excellent way to help little ones sleep well, grow and stay healthy. Since you can choose a blackout lining to any curtain, you can add one to our exciting range of fun kids curtains!
Blackout curtains for living rooms
Living rooms benefit greatly from a blackout curtain. While we tend not to sleep in the living room, unless visiting friends or family, we do like to relax there, especially for movie nights. A blackout curtain will remove glare on your television while also protecting your furniture from fading in the face of the sun's light, making your living room a stylish oasis of peace and tranquillity.
Blackout curtain linings - more benefits, equal style
Blackout linings are specially treated fabrics used to keep light out of a space, helping you to shut down after a hard day's work and enjoy a restful sleep. The linings are sewn into the window facing side of the curtain, with your chosen fabric facing inwards, so the lining doesn't interfere with the style you've chosen for your curtains, and left loose along the bottom so as not to restrict the hanging of the curtain.
Moreover, unlike many other manufacturers, all curtains from Blinds Direct are handmade to our customers' exact requirements. This means a blackout lining can be added to any of the thousands of curtains available on the website. Whether you're looking for something sleek and modern, or heavily patterned and traditional, you can enjoy a blackout lining for free!
