Natural light is as essential to a great decorating scheme as the furniture and decorative objects in it. Sometimes, though, it gets in the way of the things you need to do. If sunshine, moonshine or the light of a streetlamp is interfering when you’re trying to snooze, work at your computer or watch TV, you need blackout curtains.

Natural light is as essential to a great decorating scheme as the furniture and decorative objects in it. Sometimes, though, it gets in the way of the things you need to do. If sunshine, moonshine or the light of a streetlamp is interfering when you’re trying to snooze, work at your computer or watch TV, you need blackout curtains.
Our selection of stylish blackout curtains will deliver close-as-you-can-get darkness to your home. Offering a huge variety of colours, textures and prints, there are styles well suited for your baby’s nursery, kid’s room, bedroom, office or family room. The best thing about blackout curtains is that you can easily open or close them to control the light in any room to meet your needs.
A lot of our blackout curtain shave thermal properties that in the winter help reduce heat loss by minimizing drafts and in the summer keep heat out by blocking the sun’s rays, helping you cut energy consumption costs. They also help keep the sun’s damaging rays from fading your furniture.
A perfect pick for city living, blackout panels have maximum light filtering abilities to block out the glow emitted by neighbouring office towers, billboards and streetlights. Made of heavyweight fabric, they also help with noise reduction, so the heartbeat of the city (think car horns, train tracks, late night bar goers) that comes with urban life can stop being an issue. Bonus: The white lining of these curtains meets condominium requirements and brings a unified look for the exterior of any dwelling.
When it comes to hanging your blackout curtains, maximize their light-cutting effect by making sure you do it correctly. Choose from our wide variety of curtain rods to find the ones that suit your style. A single rod is great for holding one pair of panels and a double rod can hang two sets – a good choice if you plan on hanging a pair of sheers with your blackout curtains. Either way, make sure your rod is long enough so that when you open your curtains, they can be pulled completely out of the way so you can let in light when you want to.
When closed, your blackout curtains should cover the entire window, extending beyond the limits of the frame by a few inches all around. For even better results, use a blackout rod. What makes a blackout rod superior to regular rods is that it’s designed with curved ends that allow your curtains to wrap around the corner of the rod so they can get up close and personal with your wall to block out the sneaky light that tries to seep in at the edges. Trust us, a blackout rod will enhance the effectiveness of your blackout curtains.
So whether you work the night shift and need to sleep during the day, love a good sleep-in, have a baby who naps or are just really serious about watching TV in a glare-free environment, blackout curtains are a must in every room. Take your pick today!

What are the various drop effects for curtains?
There are 3 possible styles when it comes to curtain length:
- The floating style: Let your curtains hang a maximum of 1” above the floor.
- The kissing style: Have your curtains barely make contact with the ground.
- The puddle style: Add drama to your space by letting the curtains gently pool on the floor.
What widths do curtains come in?
Curtains come in 52”, 53” and 54” widths. Make sure to measure your window before purchasing in order to get enough curtains. When selecting sheers, get 4 times the width of the window. For panel and blackout styles, you’ll want to go with twice the total width of the window.
How far below the window should curtains hang?
Curtains should hang as low as possible in order to make the window appear taller. For best results, hang the rod as high as possible and ensure curtains are no shorter than 1” off the ground. This technique tricks the eye, making the ceiling appear higher and, as a result, the entire room look bigger.
How do I hang curtains?
Hang curtains by first measuring the space you’d like between the window and the tip of the rod, which should be between 4 and 10 inches, symmetrical on both sides. Then, drill into the wall and screw your rod hardware before putting your curtains on the rod and hanging everything on the brackets.
How fast will I get my curtains?
Montreal-area customers should get their curtains within 2 to 3 business days, while residents of other Canadian urban centers should receive theirs within 3 to 7 days. We also ship to rural areas in 7 to 14 business days. Please note that delivery times vary by location and are subject to change. Free shipping to your local store is also offered.
