Russells Ready Made Blackout Curtains

Blockout curtains (also known as blackout curtains) are ideal for keeping bedrooms dark through the night for a better sleep and they add an extra bit of insulation as well for more energy efficiency. Blockout curtains can come pre-lined or you can add a blockout lining to most fabrics to customise the look.

Blockout curtains in the bedroom

Research shows the people sleep better in dark rooms so blockout curtains are the perfect choice for the bedroom, especially kids’ rooms, keeping the summer sun at bay for a great night’s sleep.

The benefits of blockout curtains

Blockout curtains are perfect for minimising light, especially in the summer when it might keep you awake. But they also increase privacy and add an extra layer of insulation for better efficiency all year long.

Keeping curtains clean

Cleaning your blockout curtains regularly will keep the dust and mould from building up over time, which isn’t great for your family’s health. Luckily, cleaning blockout curtains is no different from cleaning regular curtains.

Light vs. dark

If you choose a thick, dark curtain, you may gain some of the blockout benefits without adding a blockout lining. Darker curtains, especially those in thicker materials, will naturally block more light and insulate more than light colours.

Crafted With Care in New Zealand

We custom-make all our curtains and the vast majority of our blind range here in New Zealand, in sunny Nelson.

In our sewing workshop we use leading technology to ensure absolute accuracy and consistency. But when it comes to the finishing touches there is still no substitute for hand craftmanship. Fabric is always checked against swatches and thoroughly examined for inconsistencies before being cut, during making, and upon completion.

In our blind studio, we use technology for precision, but once cut, blinds are strung by hand and checked not only by the machinery, but the meticulous eye of our experienced makers.

For the few products that are made outside our factory, we can assure you our partner manufacturers have been chosen with care to meet our standards.

Our History

Quality and service that's timeless.

Russells was originally founded in 1929 by George P Russell as a furniture business. Over time the focus of the business shifted to window furnishings. It’s still locally owned and operated, now by Bill and Jenny Liddell, who draw on the long tradition of quality and service that four generations of the Russell family established. Today, Russells employs over 80 staff throughout the country with our head office and workshop still based in Nelson.
