Why should you buy black curtains?

Looking to reduce light and gain more control over your room’s atmosphere? Black curtains can help you do just that. These curtains help you take control of lighting and temperature. Whether it’s early morning sun or streetlights at night, the right curtains help you rest and relax without distractions.

 

In homes across New Zealand, people are turning to black curtains for more than just sleep. They’re used to maintain privacy, and insulate rooms across every season. At Freedom, we offer a considered selection of black curtains that not only work well but look good, too.

Below are some benefits of buying black curtains:

• Superior Light Blocking : This is arguably the primary benefit. Black is the most effective color for absorbing light. Blackout curtains, specifically designed with opaque fabrics or linings, can block 99-100% of external light.
• Improved Sleep Quality: Creating a pitch-dark environment promotes melatonin production, crucial for a healthy sleep cycle. Perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, or for shift workers who need to sleep during the day.
• Immersive content viewing experience: Black curtains help eliminate glare on screens and enhance the viewing experience for movies and gaming.
• Protection of Furniture and Flooring: Black curtains help block UV rays that may come from outside, hence protecting your furniture and flooring.
• Easier Maintenance (for visible dirt): Unlike white curtains that show every speck of dust or stain, black curtains tend to conceal minor dirt, dust, and pet hair more effectively, requiring less frequent deep cleaning.
