? How to Choose the Best Curtains for Noise Reduction

We often think of curtains as purely decorative or useful for blocking light—but they can also serve as an excellent barrier against unwanted noise. Whether you're working from home or trying to sleep in on the weekend, the right curtains can make all the difference.

? How Do Curtains Block Sound?

While curtains won’t make your room 100% soundproof, they reduce noise by:

• Absorbing echoes within the room

• Muffling outside sounds like traffic or chatter

• Acting as an extra insulation layer around windows and doors

Heavy, tightly woven fabrics are the most effective. For example, our sound-insulating velvet curtains combine dense fibers with thermal blackout layers to both absorb and block ambient sound.

?️ Best Rooms for Sound-Dampening Curtains

• Bedrooms: Improve sleep by eliminating city noise and early morning distractions.

• Home offices: Stay focused during work or online meetings.

• Living rooms or nurseries: Reduce echo for better comfort and acoustics.

We also recommend installing curtain rods higher and wider than your window to minimize sound seepage. The fuller your curtain coverage, the better the acoustic result.
