8 Blackout Curtains That Are Cute and Ultra Affordable
- Most Affordable: Maybe you don’t even necessarily need a new set of curtains. But for an $8 set… maybe you do? They’re fully insulated and they come in several fun colors. So, why not? — just $8!
- Pop Of Color: Blackout curtains don’t need to be, well, black. Opt for faux-linen curtains that come in every shade under the sun, from burnt orange to emerald green. Plus, they still have the same blackout effect — just $30!
- Extra Wide: For that sliding glass door, opt for an extra wide blackout curtain. You’ll just need one to cover the glass. Whether you’re using it in your living room or on a door to the back patio, it’ll do everything you want it to, while still looking great — just $20!
- Shorties: Not everyone wants their drapes hanging low. If that’s the case, these short blackout curtains will do the job just as well (without collecting dust on the floor!). They measure in at 42 inches by 45 inches, fitting perfectly in that kitchen window, or even in the bedroom — just $10!
- Refined: There’s something about curtains made with real linen that brings a certain type of refined style to your home. (Think: Martha Stewart or Ina Garten!) Despite the light beachy texture, though, they’ll absolutely zap the sunlight out of any bedroom — just $25!
- Double Layer: Add some flair to your living space with double layer blackout curtains. The bottom layer is a thick and opaque blackout, while the inner layer is thin, sheer and just for show. Comes in several sizes and colors — just $25!
- Rollers: If you’d prefer rolling shades to curtains, consider blackout rollers. They’re easy to use, and oftentimes they’re cheaper! Just don’t forget to dust them off every once in a while — just $13!
- Velvet: George Costanza said it best: “I would drape myself in velvet if it was socially acceptable.” Now, you can drape your windows in velvet, and it looks absolutely marvelous — just $30!
