Blackout curtains are curtains designed to significantly reduce the amount of light entering a room. They typically use a specialist blackout lining or blackout fabric behind the decorative curtain material. This makes them particularly useful for bedrooms, nurseries, guest rooms and media rooms where controlling natural light is important.
Blackout curtains can significantly reduce incoming light, but the amount of light blocked depends on the curtain fabric, lining, coverage and installation.
