OBSCURA Velvet Blackout Curtains

 Velvet blackout curtains made for Dubai homes

Dubai sun is strong for most of the year. It heats up bedrooms by mid morning, puts glare on the TV in the afternoon and fades sofas over time. Obscura velvet blackout curtains are made to deal with that, without making a room look heavy or dark in a bad way.

The fabric is Merin-O-Z velvet, a dense polyester velvet with a soft, deep pile. It blocks around 80 to 90% of outside light, depending on the colour and how the curtain is hung. That is enough to darken a bedroom for a good night’s sleep or a lazy afternoon nap, and to stop screen glare in a living room or home cinema.

Because the pile is thick, the curtains also help with two things people in the UAE often ask about. They hold back some of the heat coming through the glass, so your AC does not work as hard. They also soften outside noise from roads, neighbours and building work.

Custom velvet curtains, measured for your windows

Every pair of Obscura curtains is made to order. You can get a quick idea of the cost with the price calculator on this page, using the size presets or your own window measurements.

If you would rather not measure yourself, book a free home visit. Our team comes to you, measures each window properly and brings fabric samples so you can see the velvet in your own light. Once you confirm, your curtains are tailored and installed, usually within 3 to 5 days.

This is the easiest way to get blackout curtains that actually fit, without gaps at the sides that let light leak in.

Where Obscura velvet curtains work best

• Bedrooms Dark rooms help you sleep longer, especially in summer when the sun is up before 6 am. Obscura curtains keep most of that early light out.
• Living rooms They cut afternoon glare on the TV and protect sofas and rugs from fading, while the velvet adds warmth to the room.
• Home theatres and media rooms With up to 90% of light blocked, screens look sharper and colours stay true, even in the middle of the day.

How to care for velvet curtains

• Vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment every few weeks to lift dust
• Steam on low heat to remove creases and refresh the pile
• Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth and mild soap
• For a full clean, follow the care label or use a professional curtain cleaner
• Avoid bleach and tumble drying, which can flatten the pile

Frequently asked questions

How much light do Obscura velvet blackout curtains block? 

They block around 80 to 90% of outside light. Darker colours and a close fit around the window give the best result.

Do velvet blackout curtains help with heat in Dubai? 

Yes. The thick velvet pile slows the heat coming through the window glass, which helps rooms stay cooler and can reduce how hard your AC works.

Are these curtains made to measure?

Yes. Every pair is custom made to your window size. You can use the price calculator on this page or book a free home measurement in Dubai.

How long does delivery and installation take? 

Installation usually takes 3 to 5 days after you confirm your order.

Do velvet curtains reduce noise?

The dense pile absorbs some sound, so they help soften outside noise from traffic and neighbours. They are not a full soundproofing solution.

Which rooms are velvet blackout curtains best for? 

Bedrooms, living rooms and home theatres, or any room where you want less light, less glare and more privacy.

Can I see the fabric before ordering?
