Sun Zero Linen Drapes
Sun Zero’s brushed tonal fabric delivers cozy vibes and a sophisticated look without sacrificing light-blocking functionality. This panel has a three-pass blackout design, meaning that it includes a black layer that’s sandwiched between two white layers. It also comes with fleece insulation to keep your room warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Strategist senior writer Liza Corsillo loves these woven cotton curtains from Better Homes & Gardens’ line at Walmart for their leafy pattern and stormy blue hue, but they’re best known for being able to be hung in either rod pocket or back tab style. They’re among the cheapest on our list and feature polyester blackout lining to help keep piercing sunlight out and your sleep uninterrupted.
If you want a slightly different color, the West Elm woven thermal insulated grommet curtain panels are available in blush and gray and have built-in metal grommets that work with most standard curtain rods up to 1.5 inches in diameter. The polyester lining keeps them looking crisp, even after many washes.
If you need to shorten the panels to fit over a sill, console, or radiator, they’re easy to hem on your own or by hiring a seamstress to do it for you. Plus, they’re machine washable on gentle cycles and can be tumbled dry. These solar-powered blackout curtains boast a modern color palette and energy efficiency features that will improve your home’s air quality while saving you money on your energy bills.
Shenandoah Outdoor SunSpun Grommet Top Outdoor Curtains
Shenandoah outdoor curtains come in several lengths, allowing you to choose a look that complements your space. They also feature a variety of tops, including grommet, tab and sleeve styles. The sleeve top style offers the most fully draped and full appearance, and is best for windy areas. Grommet and tab top outdoor curtains offer a more efficient look, with a slightly less fully draped appearance.
To help you choose the right Shenandoah grommet or tab outdoor curtain, ask yourself a few key questions:
Do You Want to Divide a Space?
Whether you’re designing a cozy nook for reading or setting up a separate-feeling dining area, outdoor curtains are a great way to create boundaries without blocking your view of the yard. Sheer outdoor curtains are a good choice here because they can offer plenty of privacy while still letting in filtered sunlight. Darker outdoor curtains, on the other hand, can provide a more abrupt sense of separation while masking the sun’s harsh rays.
If bug control is a priority, then darker outdoor curtains are likely the better choice, as they’re going to block more light from the sky and the eyes of insect-seeking invaders. They may, however, be more likely to trap heat and limit airflow in your screened-in porch or patio, so you should always weigh the pros and cons of both.
