A plain, ready-made blackout panel with a drop that reaches the floor on most standard windows. Buy two if your rod is wider than about 80 cm, so you get the gathered fullness the planner asks for.
Blackout · 140 × 250 cm · Cream / ecru
Described as both blacking out and insulating, in a soft ecru that stays calm in a bedroom. Check your drop first: 240 cm suits a rod mounted close to the ceiling on a typical room.
Blackout, insulating · 140 × 240 cm · Ecru
The longest of the three, for taller windows or a rod mounted high. Black fabric is the darkest option, handy for shift workers or very bright rooms.
