Blackout Velvet Curtain

All curtains are sewn by hand in Sweden. Quality is important to us; that is why we include side seams and a bottom hem in the curtains for a heavier look. The bottom hem is sewn with a measurement of 10x10 cm.

• The blackout effect is achieved by sewing the curtains in two layers. The woven linen is paired with a blackout lining, sewn together along the curtains' folded hems.
• The curtain is sewn with two pockets where you can place curtain weights at the bottom (one on each side). The weights help control the curtain's drape for a perfect look.
• The curtain features see-through pleating tape for a soft look with curtain hooks. The pleating tape can be used to hang the curtain on a track or rod. Additionally, there is a passage at the top of the curtain for pulling the rod through.

Material
Our velvet curtains are of the highest quality, made from a polyester velvet specially designed to drape beautifully and repel dust. The blackout lining is made of polyester and has a smooth and gentle finish. Both fabrics are certified according to OEKO-TEX standards. All Gotain fabrics are woven in Spain and Turkey.

There is a wide range of qualities when it comes to blackout, which in industry terms ranges from dim-out to black-out. At Gotain, we use black-out, which is the lining that accounts for the absolute highest degree of blackout.

Care
To maintain color and quality, we recommend vacuuming your curtains regularly. Use a soft nozzle and gently run it along the fabric to remove dust and dirt that may otherwise penetrate the textile. Additionally, use a steamer to minimize creases that may develop over time.

• Do not wash or tumble dry
• To get such an effective blackout, we sew the blackout lining to the seams of the curtain. As these two textiles are of completely different materials and character, there is a risk of destroying the curtain by washing it in its entirety.
• In case of dirt/stain, we always recommend spot treatment of the stain. Clean with warm water on a white cloth - dab gently against the fabric and finish by steaming - then dry.
  
  

VIDEO GUIDE

1. HOW TO MEASURE LENGTH

Ceiling-mounted curtain track - Measure from the ceiling to the floor and add +1 cm.

Curtain track on wall - Measure from the top of the curtain track down to the floor add add +1 cm.

Curtain rod on wall - Measure from the underside of the ring hanging on the rod and add +1cm.

Notes for linen curtains: Linen is a natural material and may change slightly over time. Woven linen curtains (including blackout) have a tendency to stretch a little once hung. For these, we recommend not adding the extra centimetre and instead measuring to the desired final length. Sheer linen curtains are more affected by humidity and seasonal changes, and can be planned with approximately +1 cm for a soft, elegant drape. If you’re unsure which option is best for your home, our curtain experts are always happy to offer personal advice.

2. HOW TO MEASURE WIDTH
Double width curtain - Extended: 180cm wide, gathered: 70cm wide.
Single width curtain - Extended: 90cm wide, gathered: 35cm wide.

The above recommendation is to achieve Gotain's signature look, which means generous flowing waves of fabric, and a small trail against the floor. The measurements apply to the most common hanging style, on a curtain track with two-finger hooks. Read more in Gotain's measuring guide.

The Blackout Velvet Curtain is crafted from a dense polyester velvet, woven in Spain for a smooth, dust-repellent finish. This heavy fabric is paired with a blackout lining, providing complete light blocking and a soft, insulated feel. The curtain’s weight and structure ensure a stable drape, while the velvet’s subtle sheen adds depth to bedrooms and living spaces, creating a calm, room-darkening effect at any time of day.

In bedrooms, these blackout curtains offer privacy and help maintain a restful environment by minimising light intrusion and dampening sound. The blackout lining is especially suited to spaces where darkness and quiet are priorities, such as guest rooms or media areas. For a layered hotel style, combine the velvet curtain with a sheer panel to filter daylight while retaining the option for total blackout when needed.

Each curtain panel is tailor-made for your home in Gotain’s Swedish atelier, with careful hand-finishing and precise construction. Side seams and a generous bottom hem contribute to a stable fall, and pockets at the base allow for curtain weights to be added for extra control. Transparent pleating tape at the top offers flexible hanging options for both tracks and rods, ensuring a well-structured look.

The velvet is selected for durability and easy care, with regular vacuuming and occasional steaming helping to maintain its appearance. The blackout lining is sewn into the seams for maximum effect, and spot cleaning is recommended for any marks. The Blackout Velvet Curtain is a practical and stylish solution for those seeking high quality blackout curtains with a luxurious, tactile finish.
