Block Out Light & Get More ZZZ's With These Adorable Nursery Blackout Curtains
byIleana Morales Valentine
Parents can always use more sleep, and one way to get more shuteye is to create a dark and cozy space for baby’s naptime and bedtime to help them sleep better. The best blackout curtains for nursery rooms eliminate light thanks to their triple fabric weave and are just as easy to put up as they are to open for letting light in during the day.
Babies sleep better in dark rooms, and to find a truly opaque blackout curtain, look for at least three layers of fabric: a dense layer of woven fabric, another insulating layer that can also keep the room warmer on cold day, and an outer decorative layer that can match decor and make the blackout effect even more effective. While lighter curtain colors may be a better match for your nursery decor, keep in mind darker curtains block out the most light.
While installation mechanisms vary, make sure to chose one that you'll be able to install with ease. The options on this list range from curtains with panels that slide over a rod pocket to portable curtains that stay put with suctions cups or Velcro. Either way, you’ll want to choose a blackout curtain that can be easily tied or pulled aside when it’s time to wake up. If you already have a curtain rod up, sliding a blackout curtain over it is a cinch.
Curtains vary in terms of size, so be sure to check the available dimensions for each pick so that you can be sure you're shopping a curtain that fits your space.
With all this in mind, keep reading for the best blackout curtains to add to your little one's nursery. You and baby will be sleeping better in no time.
