Blackout curtains

If you want a good night’s sleep without any interruptions from moonlight, street lights or the sun coming up, then blackout curtains could be for you. The heavy fabric of blackout curtains falls softly and evenly to the floor and they make a big impression on the style of your room, too.

A quality night’s sleep can leave you feeling energized, refreshed, and prepared to take on your day. With blackout curtains, you can sleep in near-total darkness any time of the day or night, even if you live in an urban area with light pollution.

Transform your space with a blackout curtain

Blackout curtains are a popular choice for bedrooms and other areas for relaxation as they can help create a dark and comfortable environment that promotes better sleep. Additionally, these ready made curtains can block out sunlight and artificial light and help to insulate your home, keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

By helping reduce the annoying glare on any given screen, thick and dark curtains can also make it easier to focus on work and increase productivity. Not to mention, they are also great for creating an authentic and immersive home theatre experience.

Choosing your style

Whether you're going for a classic or contemporary décor, blackout curtains are a practical and versatile choice that can complement a variety of interior design styles. IKEA offers a variety of different styles, types, materials, patterns, and colours to help you add to the look and feel of a room.

When it comes to choosing curtain colours that coordinate with the décor in your room, earthy tones, like green and beige, are quite common as they are soothing, neutral, and easier to match. However, the dark-coloured options are particularly striking, with deep, rich hues that make a bold statement and add an air of sophistication and drama to your space.

More or less layers?

Black-out window coverings are an excellent addition to any room, offering a range of benefits beyond simply blocking out light. Their heavy fabric adds weight and texture, creating a sense of depth and richness in your space. Regardless of whether you choose short blackout curtains or long blackout curtains, the material will fall softly and evenly to the floor, giving any room a more cohesive and elegant appearance. This aesthetic works wonders in larger spaces or rooms with high ceilings, as it can visually downsize the area and give it a cozier and more intimate vibe.

Light-filtering or sheer curtains are a great option if you prefer a more relaxed and subdued look for your room. These delicate curtains act as a barrier against excessive sunlight while still allowing some light to enter.
