Cortina Blackout Daydream

I was worried blackout curtains would feel stiff and plasticky, but this cotton one is soft to the touch and hangs beautifully. The lining really does its job—my room stays pitch dark until I’m ready to wake up, and I’ve been sleeping through sunrise for the first time in months.

The pattern of kites and paper planes is so delicate and pretty that my room feels brighter even with the curtains drawn. I’ve slept through the sunrise three days in a row now, and the cotton fabric drapes beautifully without feeling stiff. Exactly what I needed for my nap-prone afternoons.

The first morning after hanging these, I slept past my alarm for the first time in months—the cotton feels breathable yet the lining truly kills every bit of dawn light. The kite-and-branch pattern is playful enough that I don't mind having them up in the living room either.
