If your sleep is often disrupted by sunshine or bright lights outside your window, you might want to consider investing in blackout curtains — these look like typical curtains but include a blackout lining that stops light from filtering into your room, experts told us. Blackout curtains can also help regulate how well you sleep overall — studies have found that shifts in exposure to light before you rise can reduce your quality of sleep, disrupt circadian rhythm (the internal process that regulates sleep) and make you feel fatigued much earlier in the day.Get more news about black out blinds,you can vist our website!

If you’re considering adding blackout curtains to your home, we spoke to experts about what to consider when shopping for them and how you can get the most use out of them. We also highlighted expert picks for the best blackout curtains to shop.

In addition to their ability to block out light, blackout curtains are a decor element just like other shades, blinds or curtains you’d install. Because of this, the one you choose largely depends on your personal preferences and your home’s aesthetic. With that being said, experts recommend thinking about the following factors while shopping for blackout curtains overall:

The blackout curtains below are all highly rated, are available in various sizes to fit your windows and include multiple drapery style options to fit your preferences. We highlighted options recommended by experts and Select staff, too.

“This selection accomplishes all of your needs for a beautifully designed blackout curtain that’s still reasonably priced,” said Beth Brown, an interior designer and owner of Beth Brown Interiors in Atlanta. The curtain is offered individually or in a set of two and you can purchase separate ring clips for ease of use.

“This is a super economical choice that ships quickly and comes in a multitude of colors and patterns,” said Brown. “Given the fabric type, they do a nice job of blocking outside noise and insulating rooms for energy efficiency.” These blackout curtains come with two panels, are machine-washable, have Velcro ties to pull them back and are made in an Oeko-TEX standard factory. Plus, with their reasonable price point and range of styles, Brown noted that they’re an ideal choice for rooms that change often — like kids’ rooms — or for those who are renting.

For buyers looking to spend a bit more on their drapes and curtains, Brown and Pamela O’Brien, principal interior designer at Pamela Hope Designs, recommended The Shade Store as a great resource to customize the exact type of blackout curtain for any room in your home. “With over eight drapery styles and more than 650 fabric materials, you can basically create whatever type of blackout curtain you have in mind,” said Brown. However, due to the customization feature and their overall quality, both experts added that The Shade Store will cost more than your average home goods or big box retailer stores.

O’Brien recommended Pottery Barn's blackout curtains due to their array of styles and colors “that work well with most people's houses.” The brand’s Emery Linen Blackout Curtain is “a wonderful linen curtain at an affordable price point,” said Susan Peters, owner and interior designer for 9108 Designs. It’s sold as a single panel and Peters said “it doesn't give off a “blackout” vibe.” The curtain comes with hooks to use with the built-in fabric loops, or you can purchase clips or round rings separately.
