Blackout Curtains & Drapes

Complete darkness, designer quality. HPD blackout curtains deliver 90–100% light blocking across velvet, faux silk, faux linen, cotton, and essential blended fabrics — so you get total light control without giving up the fabric character that suits your space. Free US shipping on every order.

Not all blackout curtains are created equal. HPD's blackout range spans multiple lining options — from the 4-Pass Hotel Blackout Lining that eliminates 100% of light to blackout-lined constructions at 90–95% — across every major fabric family in the collection. The result is complete darkness in the fabric that suits your room, not just the fabric that happens to come in blackout.

Beyond light blocking, blackout lining contributes meaningful thermal insulation and noise reduction — customers in bedrooms facing busy streets specifically note the difference, and shift workers and nursery parents consistently describe HPD blackout curtains as life-changing for sleep quality. The lining also adds body and weight that improves how panels hang, regardless of fabric type.

Browse by fabric to find the right combination — velvet blackout for warmth and drama, faux linen blackout for organic calm, faux silk blackout for formal elegance, cotton blackout for natural versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What blackout curtain options are available across different fabrics?

Blackout lining is available across velvet, faux silk, faux linen, cotton, and essential blended fabric families — each bringing its own character alongside complete light blocking. Velvet delivers warmth and drama; faux linen brings organic calm; faux silk adds formal sheen; cotton offers natural versatility. Browse by fabric type to find the right combination for your space.

What is the difference between 90%, 95%, and 100% blackout lining?

HPD blackout panels range from 90% to 100% opacity depending on the specific lining. The 4-Pass Hotel Blackout Lining and Hotel Blackout Backing eliminate 100% of light when properly installed. Blackout Lined constructions range from 90–95% opacity — highly effective for most bedrooms and home theaters. For complete total darkness, look for panels specifying 100% Hotel Blackout Opacity. For best results at any opacity level, extend panels past the window frame on both sides.

What header styles are available in blackout curtains?

Most blackout panels offer pole pocket with hook belt and back tabs. Grommet and pinch pleat headers are available in select collections. For blackout performance, the back tab or pleated header is recommended — these create a tighter, more structured hang that minimises light gaps at the top of the panel compared to a loosely gathered rod pocket.

What lengths are available and what look does each create?

Blackout panels are available from 63" to 120", with extra wide options in select styles. For maximum light blocking effectiveness, floor length is strongly recommended — panels should extend several inches past the window frame on both sides and meet or overlap at the center. A kiss (just grazing the floor) or float are the most practical choices for daily use.

What rooms are blackout curtains best suited for?

Bedrooms are the primary use case — particularly for shift workers, light-sensitive sleepers, and parents of young children where sleep quality depends on complete darkness. Nurseries, home theaters, media rooms, and home offices where screen glare is an issue are also natural applications. Stylistically blackout panels are available across enough fabric families that they suit any room's aesthetic requirements.
