For the duration of their existence, blackout curtains have been one of the most functional and innovative home furnishings. Originally created during World War II, blackout curtains were created with a distinct purpose in mind. When citywide blackouts were ordered by government officials, residents created blackout curtains to ensure safety.
Today, whether you are a sensitive sleeper who needs your sleeping arrangement as dark as possible, or looking for well-made curtains for privacy, our linen blackout curtains are perfect for you!
Ensuring a good night’s sleep every night is of the utmost importance. The blackout linen curtain drapes are perfect for ridding your room of light obstruction during your sleep, to make sure light isn’t a factor. Blackout curtains allow anyone to sleep anytime, regardless of time of day, by creating the ambience of nighttime. Blackout curtains are also known to reduce the noise that can come through glass windows. In any situation where someone might need complete darkness, our blackout linen curtains are the perfect solution!
In addition to blocking out light, our blackout linen curtains are also a great money- saving resource. Did you know that up to 25% of thermal energy is lost through windows?

Care Instructions for Our Blackout Linen Curtains
When caring for your linens, it’s important to take necessary precautions and follow instructions to ensure proper cleaning and maintain the feel of the fabric. When washing, start off by using water up to 60* degrees Celsius. Water over this temperature can be destructive to the linen fabric, so be sure to keep it below 60* Celsius. We recommend using natural or mild detergent and soaps when washing linen fabric. The gentleness of natural and mild detergents is great for cleaning the fabric without being too strong and abrasive to the naturalness of the linen fabric. Abrasion from overloading the drum can also harm linen sheets and can wear down the fabric much faster. Last but not least, never use bleach on these linens! It’ll destroy the fibers and begin to wear out the fabric. Drying our linen products is straight-forward and simple. Dry using low heat, on a delicate setting to preserve the lifespan of the sheets.
Avoid ironing your linen sheets! The beauty of the vintage washed linen treatment resides in it’s crumpled, aged texture. To keep this look, do not iron your linens! Do not dry clean your linens either. 100% linen bed sheets, linen bed skirts, and linen clothing should not be dry cleaned!

While enquiring for custom size curtains, please mention the Length x Width. We advise to double the size of your window width to have nice gathering while your curtains are closed.
*Please note: Custom size Linen curtains cannot be returned.
Depending on the width of your rod:
- When you have measured the width of your rod, multiply by a minimum of 1.5 or by 2 to have a nice S fold effect with your curtain.
- You can choose to have two curtains or just one depending on the distance you have planned on the side of your windows.
- For example, for a window of 2 meters wide, purchase 2 panels of 1.50 m wide or 2 m wide or 1 single panel 4 m wide.
Depending on the height of your window:
- Confirm the length of your curtains by measuring the size from the top of your rod to the floor, or from the top of your rod to the edge of your window or radiator.
- If you opt for curtains with a blackout lining, it is important that your curtain extends generously in height and width from your window frame.
- We draw your attention to the fact that we place the blackout lining 5 cm shorter than the linen panel to prevent it from exceeding its weight, twice as much as linen.
- The blackout lining is sewn on the top and on both sides of the curtain to allow the fluidity of the linen panel to flow freely.
