Prepare for Brighter Nights & Mornings with Target’s Flash Sale on Blackout Curtains

We’re moving full tilt towards the summer solstice, which means brighter, longer nights and earlier, brighter mornings. That can be nice, especially if you like hanging out outside after work, or enjoy the extra push to rise with the dawn. But if you (or your kids) want to go to bed earlier or sleep in, that extra sunlight can be a problem.

Enter blackout curtains. A boon to anyone bothered by bright light, they can turn sunlit rooms into a dark oasis. The only problem? They can often be drab and unexciting. If you’re willing to do some digging, however, there are some good options. Today, however, you don’t need to dig. Target is offering a buy one, get one 40 percent off deal on curtains panels and hardware online only. This deal is especially good because of most of the panels are already sold individually.

Of course, if you want true blackout, these utilitarian options are a great choice. On sale for under $15, the vast majority of reviewers give it five stars for both quality and effectiveness. A dark gray option also provides the blackout effect with a slightly less extreme color choice.

Here, a woven texture breaks up the solid look of blackout curtains, making it feel less utilitarian and more like a decor choice. Extreme blackout options like this also have the added benefit of muffling sound as well.
