Blackout blinds have been a popular choice for homeowners since they were introduced in the fourties. Back then, the use of blackout blinds had a practical purpose – to keep the light from shining onto the streets during times of war to avoid the enemies from spotting buildings during an air-raid at night.

Today, blackout blinds are indispensable in bedrooms when you want to grab some noon-time nap or if you just want to keep out the glares of traffic or the city while you’re sleeping.

The fabric used to produce blackout blinds are woven extra tight compared to normal blind fabrics. Here, Ukranian designers HoleRoll launched a collection of blackout blind designs that produce a triptych effect with holes cut out to produce artistic scenes of various cities around the world.
