Blackout curtains in Kuwait
A dense, layered fabric that blocks as much outside light and heat as possible — unlike ordinary curtains, which only soften the light. Made to the size of each window, from 14 KD per metre.
Why blackout curtains matter in a Kuwaiti summer
Direct summer sun makes east- and west-facing rooms very hot, even behind ordinary curtains. A dense blackout layer reflects much of that sunlight before it enters the room, which eases the load on your air conditioning and keeps the room cooler for longer, especially around midday.
They are most useful in children's bedrooms, for people who work night shifts and sleep during the day, and in media rooms. They also suit living rooms and diwaniyas that face the street, cutting glare on screens and furniture while blocking the view from outside.

Types of blackout curtain we make
"Blackout" describes the fabric, not the style. You choose the final look for your room:
- Wave blackout — the opaque fabric sewn in even waves on a track. The most requested style for bedrooms and living rooms, with a neat hotel look.
- Blackout with sheer — two layers on a double track: the sheer for soft daylight with privacy, the blackout for full darkness. Ideal for a room used day and night.
- Plain blackout — a single opaque layer, the economical choice for bedrooms, storerooms and staff rooms.
- Heavy royal blackout — a heavier, richer fabric for diwaniyas and formal living rooms.
- Sun-blocking roller blind — the opaque fabric on a roller blind, lighter and better for small windows and kitchens.
Colour does not decide how much light is blocked — the weave and the inner lining do. So blackout curtains come in many colours and patterns, not only black.
Blackout or sun-blocking: what is the difference?
The two names are often used interchangeably in Kuwait, but they do different jobs. Sun-blocking or dimming curtains reduce strong light and block the view from outside, but some light still comes through, especially at the edges. Blackout curtains are thicker and have an inner insulating layer designed to stop the light itself.
The simple rule: if you want privacy, dimming is enough. If you want to sleep in full darkness, choose blackout.
How to choose the right level of darkness
- Bedroom facing direct sun or street lights — the darkest fabric available, fitted on a track wider than the window to reduce light at the sides.
- Children's room or inner bedroom — a medium level is usually enough and keeps the curtain light to open every day.
- Living room or diwaniya — the aim is to cut glare, not to make the room dark, so blackout with a sheer layer works best.
We bring real fabric samples to the visit so you can compare them in your own light before deciding.

Frequently asked questions
How much do blackout curtains cost in Kuwait?
Our made-to-measure blackout curtains start from 14 KD per metre. You get the final price in writing after the free home visit.
Do blackout curtains block heat as well as light?
Yes. The dense blackout layer reflects much of the direct sunlight before it enters the room, which keeps the room cooler and eases the load on the air conditioning.
Are blackout curtains only available in black?
No. The darkness comes from the weave and the inner lining, not the colour, so they come in many colours and patterns.
Can I have blackout and sheer together?
Yes. We fit both on a double track: the sheer for soft daylight and privacy, the blackout for full darkness.
How long does it take?
One or a few standard windows take 1 to 2 days. A whole room or several rooms take up to 3 days.
