Custom Blackout Curtains: Made to Exact Dimensions

Blackout curtains are tightly woven, lined panels built to shut out light — for darker rooms, deeper quiet, and real privacy. The catch with most of them? They come in fixed sizes that never quite match your window, so light slips in at the edges. Ours don’t work that way. Every pair is made to measure, cut to your exact window, in the fabric and color you choose, so the room goes as dark as you actually want it to.

Why Choose Blackout Curtains?

• Deeper, longer sleep — streetlights, early sunrises, headlights sweeping across the ceiling. Blackout curtains block it all, whether you sleep at night or after a day shift.

• Screens you can actually see — no glare on the TV, no washout on the monitor. Media rooms and home offices stay watchable at any hour.

• Privacy that holds in daylight — keep the inside of your home yours, without living behind a permanently covered window.

• Steadier temperatures — the dense, lined weave slows heat moving through the glass, so summer heat stays out, and winter warmth stays in. Your HVAC does less work. These double as thermal curtains without you paying extra for the label.

Made to Measure, Not “Close Enough”

Ready-made blackout curtains are a compromise. They’re built for a standard window, and yours probably isn’t one — so you get gaps at the sides where light leaks straight through. We skip the standard sizing entirely. Tell us your window and your drop, pick a header (pinch pleat, grommet, or rod pocket), and we cut to it. Choose from a wide range of fabrics and colors, order free swatches to see them in your own light before you commit, and lean on our custom curtain experts if you get stuck. Every pair is sewn to order. 75,000+ homes trust us to get it right.

How to Choose the Right Blackout Curtains?

Where do blackout curtains earn their keep?

Bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms, home offices — anywhere darkness or focus matters. Shift workers and light-sensitive sleepers tend to love them most. If a room has ever woken you up before you wanted, it’s a candidate.

Blackout vs. room-darkening — what’s the difference?

Blackout panels block nearly all incoming light. Room-darkening curtains dim a space but let a soft glow through. Want a pitch-black bedroom? Go blackout. Just taking the edge off harsh afternoon sun while keeping the room livable? Room-darkening does the job.

Do blackout curtains have to be dark?

No — and this trips a lot of people up. The light-blocking comes from the weave and the lining, not the color. A soft white, cream, or pale gray panel can darken a room just as well as a charcoal one. Pick the shade your room wants; the lining handles the rest.

Length, layering, and fit

Size wider and longer than the window, and let the panels run past the frame. That’s what closes the side gaps where light sneaks in. A lot of customers layer blackout curtains over sheers, too — sheers for soft morning light, full blackout by night. Best of both, on one rod.
