‘I have Berlin blackout curtains on all sunny windows. They keep out the sun, heat and daylight. They are inexpensive and worth every penny!’
With warmer weather and more daylight making it harder to get a good night’s sleep, many shoppers are looking for simple ways to keep their bedrooms cooler and darker. And one affordable Dunelm buy is becoming a popular choice, with prices starting from £15.
The Berlin Thermal Blackout Eyelet Curtains are now available between £15 – £55, depending on the size chosen. They come in three different colours: soft grey, linen and charcoal and 14 different size options. Designed to block out unwanted light while helping to insulate rooms, they’re proving a budget-friendly upgrade for anyone struggling with early sunrises and rising temperatures.
The curtains feature a blackout coating that’s designed to reduce unwanted light, helping create a darker, more comfortable space for sleeping, watching television or relaxing. Made from durable polyester, the thermal properties can also help regulate room temperatures by reducing heat entering through windows during warmer weather.
