How to choose your size
How to choose your size
Two measurements are all you need: the width of the opening and the height. Standard sizes or made to measure, down to the centimetre.
The width of the opening
Measure your window from edge to edge. Fit the rod 15 cm above and extend it 15 to 20 cm on each side: the window looks larger and the light is freed up. Order a curtain width of 2 to 2.5 times the width of the window: the full folds dress the room and trap air, which strengthens both sound and thermal insulation.
The height
Measure from the top of the rod down to the floor. The curtains should just brush the floor, or fall 1 to 2 cm onto it for a softer, gentle break. Avoid letting them stop above the floor: the room looks smaller and draughts get through.
Exact-Fit guarantee. A measuring mistake within 30 days, and we remake your curtain free of charge. Order without fear of getting it wrong.
How does blackout work?
How does blackout work?
A single curtain, three technical layers sewn together. Each has a measured role.
- The decorative face. A plain technical linen, with the drape of a heavy curtain. It dresses the window. The technology stays invisible.
- The blackout membrane. It blocks 100% of light and UV rays. You sleep in broad daylight, and your furniture no longer fades in the sun.
- The high-density technical backing. It insulates by up to 7°C: heat stays out in summer, in during winter, and your energy bill drops. It also attenuates outside noise by up to -22 dB: the street goes quiet.
Assembled, these three layers reach 620 g/m². It is this weight that gives the drape and carries all three functions.

Description
Mélange grey blocks 100% of the light without weighing the window down. A cool, neutral grey woven from black and white threads blended into a matte tone, it pairs with everything and blocks all the light in a single layer.
Full blackout, in a single layer
Most blackout curtains stack a lining and added weight to create darkness. This one blocks 100% of the light with a single fabric. You get complete darkness without the bulk: a slim curtain on a discreet rod, with a fluid drape. The front and back are identical, in a matte mélange weave on both sides, just as clean from the street as from the room. It also stops 100% of UV rays and keeps the room cooler by cutting direct sun.
A safe choice, in every room
Adult bedrooms, children's bedrooms and studios where you want complete darkness. The mélange grey fades into the background: it dresses the window without imposing a color and lets the rest of the room speak for itself. Its slimness makes it ideal where a thick blackout curtain would be too heavy, on a slim rod or a narrow window.
Made to measure, to your exact dimensions
Available in standard sizes or made to your exact measurements, with no limit on width or height. The curtain adapts to your window, not the other way around: blackout with no gaps at the sides and a perfect drape. For complete darkness, hang it overlapping by 15 to 20 cm on each side, with the rod 10 to 15 cm above the frame.
Headings and pairings
Four headings: 40 mm eyelets, pencil pleat, rod pocket or multifunctional. The mélange grey pairs with white, sand beige or deep blue walls, with light or dark wood, for a contemporary, mineral or japandi interior.
Frequently asked questions
Blackout or light-filtering curtain: which to choose?
The blackout blocks 100% of the light for complete darkness, ideal in a bedroom. The light-filtering curtain filters the light and keeps the brightness, ideal in a living space.
What is the difference between a blackout and a room-darkening curtain?
A room-darkening curtain strongly dims the light without removing it. A blackout like this mélange blocks it entirely.
Does this curtain really block 100% of the light?
Yes, in a single layer and with no lining. The only light comes from the sides: hang it overlapping for total darkness.
