Bring on Black Friday.Between today and Nov. 27, the best selling solid blackout curtains are 25% off with promocode: BLACK.

With such savings and more than 19 different colors to choose from, find as many uses for the curtains outside of window dressing. Here are a few practical places to use curtains in the home:

Hide those no-need-know-supplies

1. Cover Unsightly Supplies

Instead of building another cabinet unit to store all of these items in your garage or basement, place a curtain over the shelving unit to hide the items. Use a full-length blackout curtain, or even a tie-up shade over a smaller shelving unit will do the trick. This is also a great way to introduce color to a much-needed space. Notice how in the above image, the ribbon in the curtain corresponds to the color of the shelves.

2. Edit the Look of Room

Draw attention to the collection of books you might have in your living room. Or decide that you instead want to make a room feel larger for the arrival of your guests. Raise a curtain over your bookshelves and have the final word on how your space should look and feel.

The oldest way to divide a space

3. Divide a Room

Do you live in a studio and want to create a little privacy? Or do you have a large room or basement and you want to divide the space? Building a wall might seem like a bit too much. Instead use a curtain to separate the space. A blackout curtain will act as makeshift wall with its ability to block noise and light.

Headboard made easy

4. Create a Headboard

Want to change the look of your headboard without having to go out to buy a new one? A curtain in your favorite shade is one of the fastest and ingenious ways to do so. Hang the curtain up on your wall and use your imagination to personalize the headboard. In the above image, a frame completes the look.

It might be the single most important day out of the entire year. And no, I’m not talking about your birthday. Not referring to New Year’s Day either.
