What is Blackout Lining?

Blackout lining is a specially designed curtain lining that helps block out external light, making it ideal for children’s bedrooms and nurseries.

It is slightly thicker and heavier than standard curtain lining and is sewn to the back of the curtain fabric to improve both comfort and performance.

By reducing the amount of daylight entering the room, blackout lining can help create a darker environment that encourages better sleep — especially useful for early bedtimes, bright summer evenings, and early morning sunlight. Many parents find blackout curtains particularly helpful for babies and young children who sleep best in a darker room.

In addition to blocking light, blackout lining also provides practical benefits for your curtains. It helps protect the front fabric from fading caused by sunlight and can add an extra layer of insulation at the window. This can help keep a child’s bedroom warmer during colder months and cooler during warmer weather.

All of our custom made children’s curtains can be supplied with blackout lining, ensuring they not only look beautiful but also provide the comfort and practicality needed for a child’s bedroom.
