Custom HeadboardsBlackout curtains are a practical solution for anyone looking to block out light, increase privacy, and improve sleep quality. They are ideal for nurseries, bedrooms, and media rooms. At Linen Chest Canada, you’ll find room-darkening curtains and blackout drapes in a wide range of colors, textures, and lengths.
Benefits of Room Darkening and Blackout Curtains
Blackout and room-darkening curtains do more than just block natural and artificial light—they also reduce glare, improve energy efficiency by adding a layer of insulation, and can even offer some noise reduction. Light-blocking curtains are a wise choice if you’re looking to improve sleep, create a restful space for shift work, or make your nursery more sleep-friendly.
Types of Curtains Offered
- Blackout curtains – Block nearly all light; perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, and anyone who needs total darkness for better sleep.
- Room darkening curtains – Filter out most light while still letting in a soft glow; ideal for living rooms or shared spaces where full blackout isn’t necessary.
- Thermal blackout curtains – Enhance energy efficiency by combining light-blocking benefits with additional insulation; helps regulate temperature effectively.
Shop blackout curtains for your bedroom, kids’ bedroom, and nursery for better rest and privacy. Available colors include white, pink, green, beige, and grey.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between blackout and room-darkening curtains?
Blackout curtains block almost 100% of light, while room-darkening curtains filter most light but still let in a soft glow.
Do blackout curtains help with noise reduction?
They can help muffle sound slightly, but they’re not designed for complete noise blocking.
Can blackout curtains help with energy efficiency?
Yes, especially thermal blackout curtains, which add a layer of insulation that can reduce heat loss or gain.
How do I wash blackout curtains?
Most are machine washable on a gentle cycle, but always check the care label. Some may require spot cleaning or dry cleaning.
What size of curtains should I get?
Measure from your curtain rod to your desired drop, typically just above the floor or sill. Choose a width that allows for fullness when closed.
