Blackout Curtains
Make the most of your lie-ins with our blackout curtains. Keep the light out and ensure a peaceful nights rest. Our popular grey blackout curtains are ideally paired with most colour decors, and our blackout eyelet curtains are super easy to hang.
Blackout curtains tick two boxes – they're beautiful additions to your décor, and they're functional. They keep the light out and the warmth in, making them a practical choice for bedrooms and living rooms. The heavy-duty construction still maintains its graceful drape, whether you choose pencil pleats, Wave or triple pleats. Blackout curtains don't have to be plain, either, or indeed, black. In fact, at Graham & Brown, there are over 350 designs, colours and patterns to choose from, suitable for all types of homes.
Perfectly partner blackout thermal curtains with any colour palette, whether you’re embracing the modernist look with grey paint or want to keep it simple with neutral paints. In a living room, rich navy blue paint accented with cream or white creates a warm space where you can relax. And for bedrooms, a soft green or dusky rose pink paint complemented by blackout curtains in a floral pattern or subtle botanical motif gives you that cosy feeling as you snuggle into bed. Easy to hang and made to measure, they give you that finishing swoosh to your interior.
Frequently Asked Questions
What lining do I need for my curtains?
We offer various lining options for our made to measure curtains. Each has its own practical properties while also enhancing the overall look and feel.
Our standard lining is the most affordable option and is used solely to enhance and give your main fabric a backing, helping to protect the fabric from direct sunlight by filtering out the light in the room whilst also creating a nice drape. This light filtering option is lightweight and produces a soft natural glow in daylight hours. Available in ivory.
Our satin finish lining is medium weight that gently filters out light whilst creating an improved drape and finish. Satin lining is available in ivory and white.
Our blackout/thermal lining is a specialised heavyweight lining option and our top pick to eliminate light from the room when drawn. It also helps protect the main fabric from direct sunlight to avoid fading. Our blackout/thermal lining helps keep the room cool in summer by reducing the amount of light dispersing into the room, and during those colder months, it helps retain heat, making this a fantastic choice for bedrooms. Other benefits include reducing energy consumption and noise pollution. This option is ideal for windows and doors with a draft and gives a beautiful drape and finish. Our blackout/thermal lining is available in two colours, ivory and white.
Interlined curtains contain an extra layer of lining that is placed between your main curtain fabric and the backing/lining. The interlining provides greater thermal efficiency and gives your curtains more body. This is a great option if you want your curtains to have a fuller look, creating a more opulent and luxurious feel.
What kind of fabric is used to make your curtains?
Our curtains are made using different fabric types, this includes cotton, linen, chenille, velvet and satin. For more information on the specific fabric and composition used, you can refer to the product details page.
Will there be joins in my Curtains?
Larger curtains will require a join in the fabric. Curtains over 1260mm wide will have a single seam in the fabric. If your fabric contains a pattern, the panels will be pattern matched across the seams.
Are blackout and thermal curtains the same product?
Yes, they are the same product. As well as filtering out sunlight, in the summer months, they can add privacy and warmth to any room with there thermal qualities in the winter. Take a look at our blog exploring both blackout and thermal qualities of these curtains.
