Tips for blackout curtains

It’s possible for a small amount of light to creep around the edges of your blackout curtains. Choose a track, which fits snugly against the wall, for the best results.
If total darkness is important to you, think about layering with a blackout blind.
Layer blackout curtains with sheer blinds or voile Roman blinds or curtains for daytime privacy.
Blackout curtains have thermal properties so can help keep your room warmer too.
Close blackout curtains on hot sunny summers to help keep your room cool.

Questions on our curtains?

See answers to our most frequently asked questions on blackout curtains.

Do blackout curtains help control the heat?

Yes, our blackout curtains have thermal properties too. During the winter months, blackout curtains can help to reduce heat loss through your windows and keep your home cosier. In summer, blackout curtains can help to keep your home cooler, by reducing the amount of heat that enters through your windows. You can add a blackout lining or thermal lining to any of our gorgeous made-to-measure curtains. For an extra snug feel, you could team blackout or thermal curtains with made-to-measure blinds.

Can you wash blackout curtains?

All of our curtain fabrics are dry clean only, but there are plenty of ways to keep your blackout curtains fresh for longer. The easiest way to clean your blackout curtains is to use the soft brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner, designed for furniture and upholstery.

A hand held steam cleaner can also be used to remove any creases or wrinkles. Our curtains cleaning guide contains more handy hints on caring for your blackout curtains.
