Blackout Curtains
Why choose blackout curtains?
Light sleepers and shift workers, we hear you. Waking up at the crack of dawn is no fun - Sundays were made for lie-ins! With blackout curtains, you can sleep soundly in total darkness, morning, noon, or night.
Thermal lining blackout curtains are ideal for rooms that require warmth and privacy while maintaining their style and purpose. The thick material works as an effective barrier against cold air outside, keeping your living and sleeping spaces cosy, whatever the weather.
Our collection of made-to-measure blackout curtains includes styles made using premium materials in a huge variety of colours and patterns. Whatever your vibe, there’s a blackout curtain to suit! Shop blackout curtains for bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and children’s rooms at Make My Blinds.

FAQs about blackout curtains
Absolutely! Whether paired with blinds or shutters, blackout curtains are perfect for many types of windows and doors. Pairing offers more light control, increased warmth and privacy for your home. We recommend combining full-length blackout curtains with the minimalist elegance of roller blinds or the classic sophistication of wooden blinds. The contrast between these two types of window coverings will create a complementary aesthetic that’s simply stunning in any room.
Many blackout curtains are made with thermal properties due to being crafted using thick and dense materials that help insulate your windows. Blackout curtains and those with blackout lining help to reduce heat loss in the winter and minimise heat in the summer, keeping you at the right temperature all year round. At Make My Blinds, we have an extensive range of thermal blackout curtains and blinds with quality blackout lining, helping to reduce heat loss in the winter and minimise overheating in the summer, keeping you at the right temperature all year round.
