Description

Custom Gardenia blackout curtains in a heavyweight 357 GSM polyester --- the most powerful light-blocking option in our collection.

The Gardenia Nocturnal Blackout Curtain is the heavyweight of the DARKROOM collection. At 357 GSM in 100% Polyester, its dense construction does more than block light --- it helps reduce noise transfer and provides a degree of thermal insulation that lighter curtains cannot match. The soft, creamy white with floral freshness gives this performance curtain a liveable, considered aesthetic, making it as suitable for a design-led bedroom as it is for a serious home cinema or shift worker's room.

Made to your exact drop length and panel count, the Gardenia Nocturnal hangs with the kind of weighted, composed drape that only comes from a truly heavyweight fabric. Custom fit ensures complete window coverage without compromise.

The Nocturnal collection accommodates:

  • Home theatres and media rooms where absolute darkness is essential

  • Shift workers who need to sleep in full daylight conditions

  • Bedrooms in urban environments where noise and light come together

  • Nurseries where both light and sound disruption need to be minimised

  • Spaces that benefit from added thermal insulation at the window

  • Anyone who wants the most robust, high-performance blackout curtain available

Fabric Information

The Gardenia Nocturnal is the most heavyweight fabric in the DARKROOM collection --- 100% Polyester at 357 GSM. At this weight, the curtain does significantly more than block light: the dense weave reduces sound transmission through the window and provides thermal insulation that helps stabilise room temperature. The blackout construction is integrated into the weave itself, not added as a coating or backing layer, so performance is consistent across the full panel and does not degrade with washing. The high Martindale rating of 80,000 rubs reflects the fabric's exceptional durability. Machine wash at 40°C, line dry, and low iron as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

In natural light, Gardenia is a fresh, creamy white with a softness that avoids harshness. Under warm artificial lighting, it picks up the warmth of the light source and reads as a gentle ivory. It is a colour that adapts elegantly to different lighting conditions.

Yes. The blackout function in the Nocturnal is built into the fabric weave structure and is independent of colour. Gardenia provides identical 100% room darkening performance to any other Nocturnal colourway.

Yes — this is exactly the application the Nocturnal is designed for. The heavyweight 357 GSM construction eliminates light through the fabric, and the dense weave also helps reduce the sound of traffic and ambient urban noise.

If removing for storage, fold loosely and store in a breathable bag in a cool, dry location. Avoid tight compression, which can leave permanent fold marks. For extended storage, roll rather than fold where possible.

Bay windows have angled sections that require either custom-bent tracks or individual rods at each facet. The Nocturnal panels can be ordered to fit each section's measurements individually. We recommend using a track rather than a rod for complex bay window installations.

Yes — this is one of its most effective applications. Morning sun on east-facing rooms is intense and comes at a low angle. The Nocturnal's 100% room darkening ensures complete elimination of early morning light, which is critical for anyone who needs to sleep past sunrise.

Due to the weight of the panels, two people are recommended for installation, particularly for wider windows with multiple panels. Having someone hold the panels while the other secures the rod makes the process much easier.

Lighter coloured fabrics can show handling marks from installation. Handle the panels with clean, dry hands and allow any marks to air-dry if they occur — most will disappear on their own. The fabric can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth if needed.

The Nocturnal achieves its blackout function through the fabric weave itself rather than a separate lining. This integrated approach means no lining layer to separate, bubble, or degrade over time — the performance is inherent to the fabric and consistent throughout its lifespan.

Not at all. A higher Martindale rating means greater longevity and resistance to wear. Curtains in a frequently used bedroom are opened, closed, and handled regularly — a higher-rated fabric simply means they will look and perform well for longer.

Very Satisfied Customer

My custom made trapezoid cushion was a perfect fit. It was delivered ahead of schedule. They called to verify cushion thickness, and requested I send a photo of the sketch with measurements to recheck. I am very pleased with its appearance and comfort. Great product, carefully constructed and great customer service. I will use again if needed. Thank you. MKHolland Shawnee OK
