Discover made to measure blackout curtains designed to block unwanted external light while bringing privacy, warmth, and style to your home. Our custom crafted blackout collection features specialized thermal linings and densely woven fabrics that are perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, and home cinemas.
Made to measure blackout curtains are the ultimate solution for light sensitive sleepers, shift workers, and families with young children. Unlike standard ready made options that leave gaps at the edges, our bespoke blackout curtains are tailored to your exact window dimensions. This ensures a precise fit that eliminates light leakage, helping to maintain a dark and restful sleeping environment.
Our blackout range is available in a spectacular variety of colors, patterns, and high quality fabrics. Whether you prefer the opulent drape of heavy velvet, the clean lines of cotton, or the natural texture of linen, our curtains deliver exceptional performance without compromising your style. The blackout capability is built into our specialized multi layer linings, allowing you to choose any face fabric to match your interior design.
Beyond light exclusion, these curtains offer excellent thermal benefits. The dense insulating barrier helps trap warmth during colder months and reflects summer heat, keeping your rooms comfortable year round. They also provide significant acoustic insulation, absorbing external noise from busy streets to create a quiet, serene sanctuary inside your home.
FAQs
What makes curtains truly blackout?
True blackout curtains use a specialised blackout lining or tightly woven multi layer fabric designed to block external light. For the best light blocking effect, we recommend fitting curtains wider and longer than the window to minimise light gaps around the edges.
What heading styles are available for blackout curtains?
Our blackout curtains are available in a range of heading styles including pencil pleat, pinch pleat, eyelet, wave, and double pinch pleat. Each style creates a different look and curtain fullness, from relaxed contemporary folds to more tailored finishes.
Can I choose any fabric for my blackout curtains?
Yes. Because our blackout function is achieved using a specialised high performance lining, you can select any face fabric from our extensive range including chenilles, linens, and cottons, allowing you to achieve the perfect look for your room.
Are blackout curtains only useful in bedrooms?
No. Although popular for bedrooms, made to measure blackout curtains can also be useful in nurseries, home cinemas, media rooms, guest rooms and other spaces where stronger control over daylight is desirable.
Can blackout curtains provide privacy after dark?
An opaque blackout curtain provides substantially greater nighttime screening than a sheer window covering when closed. This makes blackout curtains particularly useful where windows face neighbouring properties, streets or other overlooked areas.
Do blackout curtains have to be black or dark coloured?
No. “Blackout” refers to light-control performance rather than the decorative colour visible in the room. You can therefore choose a curtain design that complements your interior without assuming that effective blackout curtains must look black.
