Presenting blackout curtains for your Dubai homes and offices. If you are tired of waking up to the sun or glare disturbing your work, light-blocking curtains are the best option. With high-knot-density fabric and lining, these heavy curtains block light and sound, creating dark yet peaceful interiors.
Blackout fabrics are listed below; choose any for your light-blocking curtains. We also add liners for enhanced functionality.
Blackout curtains do a different job in each room. Here’s the fabric, styling and fitting we recommend for each space in a Dubai home or office.
| Room | Why blackout helps | Best fabric | Best styling | Fitting tip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master bedroom | Deep sleep, even with early sunrise or street lights | Velvet or linen-look blackout | Floor-length pinch pleat or wave, layered with a sheer | Ceiling-mounted track, extended past the window, to stop light at the edges |
| Kids' room and nursery | Daytime naps and early bedtimes | Washable polyester blackout | Eyelet or wave in soft or playful colours | Cordless or motorized; hem just above the floor |
| Guest bedroom | Privacy and a hotel-like sleep for visitors | Textured polyester or linen-look blackout | Neutral wave curtains with a sheer layer | Double track so guests can use sheer by day, blackout at night |
| Living room | Cuts afternoon sun, heat and TV glare | Thermal blackout with a light-coloured backing | Floor-to-ceiling wave or pinch pleat over sheers | Light backing faces the glass to reflect heat away |
| Home theatre or media room | Total darkness for a clear screen picture | Heavy velvet blackout | Dark tones such as charcoal or navy; full wall coverage | Wall-to-wall track; add an acoustic lining for sound |
| Majlis or formal lounge | Privacy for gatherings, any time of day | Jacquard or silk-look blackout | Pinch pleat with tiebacks for a rich, formal finish | Pair with sheers to keep daylight when curtains are open |
| Office or meeting room | Screen glare control and darkness for presentations | Plain polyester blackout, easy to clean | Simple wave in neutral or brand colours | Motorized so a whole room closes at one touch |
| Hotel rooms | Full blackout for guests in any time zone | Durable, fire-retardant blackout | Floor-length wave with a sheer layer | Overlap the curtains at the centre and the wall edges |

I had Select Blinds install blockout curtains in 5 bedrooms and the home cinema of my villa. I’ve seen major improvements since installing them. My kid now sleeps through the full morning, and the house is noticeably cooler. Good work!

Thermal insulation – Our triple-weave blackout fabric blocks heat transfer, which can lower indoor temperatures by up to 6°C and save on AC energy use.
