blackout lining by the yard
Buying blackout lining by the yard is the simplest way to turn any curtain into a light-blocking window treatment. Cut it to fit your own panels, Roman shades or valances, then sew it in or hang it as a separate liner. It's well suited to bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms and any space where early sun or streetlights get in the way.
Why Line Your Curtains?
Blackout curtain lining does more than darken a room. It can help:
- Block light for better sleep and clearer screens
- Add privacy after dark
- Protect face fabrics from sun fading
- Improve drape with added body and weight
What to Look For
Coating and Construction
Many blackout drapery linings use a coated back or multiple layers to stop light. Thermal blackout lining may add insulating value, which some homeowners like for drafty windows.
Width, Color and Care
Check the width against your panel size so you can minimize seams. White and ivory are common for a neutral look from the street. Always review the care instructions before washing.
