Our Night Curtains

Night curtains are designed to provide maximum privacy and block out light. These blackout or dim-out curtains are ideal for use in bedrooms, home theatres, or any space where darkness is desired. Our night curtains are available in a wide range of unique designs, making it easy for you to find one that complements your space.

What are Night Curtains?

In Singapore, where daylight can be intense, night curtains offer the perfect solution to shield your space from unwanted sunlight. Also known as blackout curtains, these curtains are made from thick, opaque materials, ideal for creating a dark, quiet environment to promote better sleep or relaxation. 

Notably, night curtains help with thermal insulation. This means they can create a barrier between the inside of your home and the outside temperature, keeping your room cooler during the day and warmer at night.

Difference Between Normal Curtains and Night Curtains

1. Light Blocking Ability

Night curtains block out sunlight and external light to creatie a dark, quiet environment. They differ from normal curtains that allow some light to pass through.

2. Privacy and Security

Night curtains offer superior privacy, preventing anyone from seeing inside your home. Meanwhile, normal curtains still allow visibility depending on the fabric.

3. Insulation and Energy Efficiency

Night curtains feature better insulation so they can regulate room temperature and improve energy efficiency. Conversely, normal curtains only offer minimal thermal protection.

How Does the Installation Process of Night Curtains Work?

1. Initial Consultation

Discuss your preferences and requirements over the phone, where our team will guide you through options customised for your space. For in-store visits, please make an appointment in advance, as we do not accommodate walk-ins.

2. Onsite Visit

A professional from De Art Studio will visit your home to take accurate measurements and confirm the curtain design. This ensures that your night curtains will fit accurately, as well as gives you the chance to make any final adjustments to the design.

3. Installation

Once the curtains are ready, our experienced contractors will install the rod and hang the curtains. The rod will be positioned above the window frame, and the curtains will be attached using eyelets, rings, or hooks.

4. Style and Shaping

Finally, we’ll adjust your night curtains for a polished finish. If you wish, you can opt for shaping, where our experts carefully use heat to mould the curtains, enhancing their structure and ensuring they drape perfectly for a refined, tailored look.

Tips for Night Curtains Maintenance

1. Regular Dusting and Vacuuming

Night curtains, especially blackout curtains, can attract dust, dirt, and pet hair. Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to gently dust the fabric regularly.

2. Follow Care Instructions for Washing

Always check the care label before washing your night curtains. Most blackout curtains can be machine-washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. However, certain fabrics may require dry cleaning to preserve their appearance.

3. Use Mild Detergents

Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners when washing your night curtains, as these can damage the fabric and diminish their ability to block light.

4. Proper Drying Techniques

After washing, air dry your night curtains to maintain their shape and quality. Avoid wringing them out, as this can cause fabric damage.

5. Iron or Steam for Wrinkles

Night curtains made from heavier fabrics may develop wrinkles after washing. To maintain a smooth, neat appearance, iron the curtains on a low heat setting or use a steamer.

6. Check for Any Light Leakage

Over time, the fabric of your night curtains may stretch or shift, leading to gaps that allow light to filter in. Periodically check for any light leakage around the edges and adjust the curtains to ensure full coverage.

Characteristics of Night Curtains

Made from heavier fabrics, night curtains help to block or filter light for enhanced privacy and comfort. Their dense materials also help with noise reduction, temperature insulation, and maintaining a peaceful environment.

Types of Night Curtains

Night curtains come in several types, including blackout curtains and dim-out curtains. The former features specially woven or layered fabrics that completely block light, perfect for creating a dark and restful environment. Meanwhile, the latter offers partial light filtration, softening the light entering the room while still maintaining a bright and airy feel.

Benefits of Night Curtains

Install night curtains for enhanced privacy, light control, and energy efficiency. Blackout curtains ensure complete darkness, promoting better sleep, while dim-out curtains offer a balance of light filtering and privacy. With their noise-reducing properties, night curtains create a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere, making them ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms.

Misconceptions about Night Curtains

One common myth is that blackout curtains are only suitable for bedrooms. However, they are also excellent for living rooms, home offices, or media rooms, where light control and privacy are needed.

Another misconception is that dim out curtains do not offer significant light control. The truth is that their filtration properties are adequate to create a calming, dimly lit environment without making the room feel too dark. 

Some people believe night curtains are too heavy and difficult to manage, but modern designs are often lightweight and easy to install.
