The Linen-Textured Total Blackout Curtains, 84 Inches Long, Oatmeal are my best overall pick for combining a bedroom-friendly look with full blackout positioning. For a linen-style alternative, the MIULEE Blackout Linen-Textured Curtains in Ivory stand out for a light neutral finish, while INOVADAY 100% Blackout Curtains suit sleepers who put darkness ahead of decorative texture. The main tradeoffs are blackout coverage versus fabric appearance, panel width versus window size, and the right length for your rod placement. Read on for the full breakdown, including options for shorter windows, richer color, and different bedroom priorities.

Key Takeaways
- The oatmeal total-blackout pick leads for balance: it pairs an understated linen-textured look with a blackout-first design, making it the most versatile starting point in this lineup.
- Blackout claims do not remove the need to measure: panel width, curtain length, rod placement, and light gaps at the sides all affect how dark a room feels.
- Several options prioritize a softer room aesthetic: linen-look and linen-textured choices from MIULEE, Guken, and H.VERSAILTEX trade a more tailored blackout-focused appearance for fabric texture and neutral styling.
- Shorter panels fill a specific fit need: the 63-inch Nicetown, H.VERSAILTEX, and ChrisDowa options may suit shorter windows, but they are poor substitutes for 84-inch curtains when a bedroom needs floor-length coverage.
- Color and fabric change the room as much as light control: the olive velvet MIULEE and navy-and-grey ombre panels make stronger style statements than the ivory, cream, and natural options.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Linen-Textured Total Blackout Curtains, 84 Inches Long, Oatmeal
For a bedroom where controlling incoming light is the priority, this pair combines a blackout-coated linen-look fabric with several ways to hang it. The 50-inch-wide panels provide 100 inches of total coverage, slightly less than the Guken Cream Linen Blend’s 104 inches, but more width than the MIULEE Ivory panels. Its back tabs, rod pocket, hooks, clip rings, and track compatibility make it the most adaptable choice here if your curtain setup may change. The oatmeal tone also offers a softer alternative to Nicetown’s grey, shorter panels. The tradeoff is practical: hooks and rings are not included, so some hanging styles require extra hardware. The stated full-light-blocking performance is appealing for a sleep-focused room, though the product details do not provide independent verification.
Pros:- Two 50-inch-wide panels provide 100 inches of combined coverage
- Several hanging methods suit different rods and track systems
- Blackout coating is designed to block sunlight and provide privacy
- Machine washable in cold water
Cons:- Hooks and clip rings are not included
- The stated 100% light-blocking performance is not independently verified in the supplied product details
Best for: Bedroom shoppers who want long, neutral blackout panels and need flexibility to hang them on different rod or track systems
Not ideal for: Buyers who want a ready-to-hang hook-and-ring setup or need a blackout claim backed by independent testing
- Color:Oatmeal
- Material:Textured linen-look fabric with blackout coating
- Panels:2
- Panel dimensions:50 × 84 inches each
- Combined width:100 inches
- Light blocking:Designed to block 100% of sunlight, as stated
- Hanging styles:Back tab, hook belt, rod pocket, clip ring, or track system
- Care:Machine wash cold; warm iron or steam clean if needed
Our verdict“Choose this pair for flexible hanging and broad bedroom coverage, provided you have or are willing to buy any extra hardware you need.”
MIULEE Blackout Linen-Textured Curtains, Ivory, 42 x 84 Inches, Set of 2
These 42-by-84-inch ivory panels make sense for bedrooms where a light fabric color and multiple tailored hanging styles matter as much as light control. The set includes 24 metal hooks, so it is more ready for a pleated or hooked installation than the oatmeal curtains, which require separately sourced hooks or rings. Back tabs and a rod pocket offer simpler alternatives if you prefer a less formal look. MIULEE also describes the fabric as providing thermal and sound insulation, but its panels are narrower than the Guken Cream Linen Blend’s 52-inch panels; check your window width before choosing it for a fuller look. The ivory color may vary from the images, and the fabric needs gentle handling to avoid scratches. This is a versatile styling pick, not the widest option in the group.
Pros:- Includes 24 metal hooks for pleated or hooked installation
- Offers back-tab, rod-pocket, and pinch-pleat hanging options
- 84-inch length suits bedrooms needing longer panels
- Designed for light blocking, UV filtering, and thermal and sound insulation
Cons:- Each panel is only 42 inches wide, less than the Guken panels
- Ivory may look different from the product images
- Fabric requires care to avoid scratching
Best for: Bedroom shoppers with narrower windows who want ivory blackout panels, included hooks, and a choice of pleated or casual hanging styles
Not ideal for: Buyers covering wide windows who want broad panels, or anyone who prefers a darker, more forgiving curtain color
- Brand:MIULEE
- Color:Ivory
- Material:Linen-textured fabric
- Panels:2
- Panel dimensions:42 × 84 inches each
- Opacity:Blackout
- Hanging styles:Back tab, rod pocket, or pinch pleat
- Included hooks:24 metal hooks
- Care:Iron and tumble dry on low heat
Our verdict“Pick MIULEE for a lighter-colored, hook-ready set with flexible styling, but measure carefully if your window needs generous width.”
Guken Cream Linen Blend Blackout Curtains, 84-Inch Length, 2 Panels, Ivory Beige
With 52-inch-wide panels, this Guken set gives a wider bedroom window more fabric than either the MIULEE Ivory or Nicetown Grey panels. Together, its two panels span 104 inches, making it a strong fit for buyers who want more coverage without moving to a shorter curtain. The cream linen-blend appearance keeps the room softer-looking than Nicetown’s grey polyester, while back tabs, a rod pocket, and clip-ring compatibility allow several installation styles. The blackout coating is described as blocking sunlight and UV rays and helping regulate room temperature. That claim is not independently verified in the supplied details, and care calls for extra attention around the coating when ironing. Compared with the oatmeal option, Guken offers slightly more total width, but fewer listed hanging methods.
Pros:- Two 52-inch panels provide 104 inches of combined width
- 84-inch length and neutral ivory-beige color suit many bedrooms
- Back-tab, rod-pocket, and clip-ring hanging options
- Machine washable with low-heat tumble drying
Cons:- The stated 100% blackout performance is not independently verified in the supplied details
- The blackout backing requires care when ironing
- No hook or track hanging option is listed
Best for: Bedroom owners with wider windows who want long, neutral linen-blend panels and more combined width than standard 42-inch options provide
Not ideal for: Shoppers who need independently verified blackout performance or want hanging compatibility with hooks and tracks explicitly listed
- Brand:Guken
- Material:Linen blend
- Color:Ivory natural beige
- Panels:2
- Panel dimensions:52 × 84 inches each
- Combined width:104 inches
- Light blocking:100% blackout, as stated by the manufacturer
- Hanging options:Back-tab loops, rod pocket, or clip rings
- Care:Machine wash cold; tumble dry low
Our verdict“Choose Guken when wider coverage and a neutral linen-blend look matter more than extra hanging methods or independently verified blackout performance.”
Nicetown Grey Blackout Curtains – 2 Panels, 42″ W x 63″ L
Nicetown is the clearest fit here for a bedroom with a lower sill or a shorter curtain drop: its 63-inch length avoids excess fabric where the 84-inch options, such as Guken’s, may pool or need hemming. The triple-weave polyester is rated to block 85%–99% of light and UV rays, so it offers a stated range rather than the full blackout claim made for Guken. That distinction matters for people who need a very dark sleeping space. Its insulation and noise-reduction features may also help in a room facing a busy street, though the heavy fabric can make installation harder. Six grommets per panel simplify sliding the curtains along a compatible rod. The grey color and shorter length make this a more practical than decorative choice compared with the linen-textured ivory and oatmeal sets.
Pros:- 63-inch length suits shorter window drops
- Triple-weave polyester is rated to block 85%–99% of light and UV rays
- Grommets make installation on a compatible rod straightforward
- Machine washable in cold water and tumble dryable
Cons:- Light blocking is not described as complete, unlike the full-blackout claims for Guken and the oatmeal set
- Heavy fabric can be awkward to handle during installation
- Grey-only color selection limits bedroom styling options
Best for: People with shorter bedroom windows who want machine-washable panels and some light, noise, and temperature buffering
Not ideal for: Light-sensitive sleepers seeking full darkness, or buyers who need long panels or a light neutral color
- Material:Polyester, triple weave
- Color:Grey
- Panels:2
- Panel dimensions:42 × 63 inches each
- Grommets:6 per panel
- Grommet inner diameter:1.6 inches
- Light blocking:85%–99% of light and UV rays
- Care:Machine wash cold; tumble dry
Our verdict“Choose Nicetown for a shorter window and added noise and temperature buffering, but skip it if complete darkness or long, light-colored panels are your priority.”
H.VERSAILTEX Blackout Curtain Panels, 63-Inch, Ivory/Cream, 2-Pack
Unlike the full-blackout claims attached to the Guken and oatmeal curtains, H.VERSAILTEX specifies that its ivory/cream panels block about 70% of sunlight. That makes them a better match for bedrooms where softer daylight is welcome and UV protection is a priority, rather than for sleepers who need near-total darkness. The product details say they block all UV rays and offer thermal insulation, noise reduction, and privacy features. At 42 inches wide and 63 inches long, they also suit smaller or lower windows better than the longer Guken set. Six metal grommets per panel make rod installation simple, though the specified light-blocking level is a meaningful limitation for shift workers or anyone sensitive to morning light. Care is straightforward: machine wash cold and tumble dry low.
Pros:- Ivory/cream color offers a lighter alternative to Nicetown’s grey panels
- Blocks about 70% of sunlight and 100% of UV rays, as stated
- Six metal grommets per panel simplify rod installation
- Machine washable in cold water
Cons:- About 70% sunlight blocking leaves more light than the full-blackout options
- 63-inch length will not suit windows that need longer panels
- Each panel is 42 inches wide, limiting coverage on wider windows
Best for: Bedroom owners with shorter windows who want ivory curtains that reduce sunlight and UV exposure without aiming for full darkness
Not ideal for: Shift workers, light-sensitive sleepers, or anyone seeking the strongest stated light blocking from this lineup
- Color:Ivory/Cream
- Panels:2
- Panel dimensions:42 × 63 inches each
- Combined width:84 inches
- Grommets:6 per panel
- Grommet inner diameter:1.6 inches
- Sunlight blocked:About 70%
- UV blocking:100%, as stated
- Care:Machine wash cold; tumble dry low
Our verdict“Pick H.VERSAILTEX for shorter bedroom windows and UV protection when softer daylight is acceptable, not when you need a dark sleeping space.”
MIULEE Blackout Linen-Textured Curtains, Beige, 52 x 84 Inches, 2 Panels
For a bedroom where daylight is the main problem, the MIULEE beige panels pair a linen-like surface with fabric designed to block light completely. Their triple-weave construction may also soften temperature swings and outside noise, giving them broader bedroom appeal than the NICETOWN 42 x 63-inch curtains, which allow some light through and suit shorter windows better. Each panel is 52 inches wide, so this pair offers useful coverage across a typical bedroom window.
The tradeoff is a less forgiving setup if you want a specific shade of beige: the color may look different from the listing images, and the fabric may need steaming or ironing after unpacking. Choose these for a muted, textured look and strong darkness; skip them if you need exact color matching or a shorter drop.
Pros:- Designed to block light completely for a darker sleep environment
- Triple-weave construction may help moderate heat, cold, and noise
- Two 52-inch-wide panels provide broad window coverage
- Grommet top makes hanging straightforward
Cons:- Beige may vary from the images, complicating close color matching
- Panels may need ironing or steaming to remove packaging creases
Best for: Light-sensitive sleepers who want full light blocking, a neutral linen-like finish, and standard 84-inch bedroom curtains.
Not ideal for: Shoppers matching a precise beige palette or dressing shorter windows who do not want excess fabric.
- Material:Faux linen
- Color:Natural beige
- Panel count:2
- Panel size:52 x 84 inches each
- Light blocking:100%
- Top style:Grommet
- Grommets:8 per panel; 1.6-inch inner diameter
- Care:Warm or steam iron; tumble dry on low if needed
Our verdict“Choose these if you want a full-length beige bedroom curtain that prioritizes darkness without giving up a linen-like appearance.”
NICETOWN Blackout Curtains, 2 Panels, 42 x 63 Inches
The NICETOWN 42 x 63-inch set fills a useful gap for bedrooms with shorter windows, where standard 84-inch panels can bunch on the floor. Its three-layer fabric blocks 85%–99% of light and provides privacy, while the rod pocket fits rods up to 2 inches across. Rings and hooks can adjust the hanging height by up to 3 inches, a practical option if your rod placement is awkward. Unlike the longer MIULEE beige panels, this set is sized for a shorter drop rather than broad, floor-length coverage.
That shorter length and adjustable hanging are the strengths, but light blocking is not absolute, and the darkest colors are said to perform better. The rings and hooks used for adjustment are not confirmed as included. I’d pass if your bedroom needs near-total darkness or your windows need full-length panels.
Pros:- Shorter 63-inch drop suits windows where long panels would drag
- Three-layer fabric blocks 85%–99% of light
- Height can be adjusted by up to 3 inches with rings and hooks
- Machine or hand washable with mild detergent
Cons:- Light blocking varies and may not satisfy buyers seeking complete darkness
- Rings and hooks for height adjustment are not specified as included
- Dark colors are described as more effective at blocking light
Best for: Renters and homeowners with shorter bedroom windows who want privacy and some flexibility in hanging height.
Not ideal for: Light-sensitive sleepers seeking complete darkness or buyers who need 84-inch floor-length curtains.
- Panel count:2
- Panel dimensions:42 x 63 inches each
- Light blocking:85%–99%
- Rod pocket fit:Rods up to 2 inches in diameter
- Height adjustment:Up to 3 inches with rings and hooks
- Hook spacing:Approximately 4–6 inches
- Care:Machine or hand washable; mild detergent; do not bleach
Our verdict“Pick this set for a shorter bedroom window and adaptable hanging, but choose a total-blackout option if darkness is the priority.”
INOVADAY 100% Blackout Curtains, 84-Inch Length
The INOVADAY panels stand apart for their combination of blackout lining and four hanging methods: clip rings, back tabs, rod pockets, or tracks. That flexibility helps when a bedroom already has a particular rail or when you want to change the curtain’s look without replacing it. The beige linen-style face keeps the room softer in appearance than the ChrisDowa charcoal curtains, which are shorter and use a simpler grommet setup. Each panel measures 50 by 84 inches, and the coated lining is designed to block light and help insulate through the year.
Machine washing adds practical appeal, though the light color may differ from photos and the panels may need ironing after unpacking. Buyers who want the broadest panel width in this group may prefer MIULEE’s 52-inch panels; those who value mounting flexibility will find the INOVADAY set more adaptable.
Pros:- Designed for complete light blocking with a coated lining
- Works with clip rings, back tabs, rod pockets, or tracks
- Lining may help moderate heat and cold
- Machine washable for easier upkeep
Cons:- Each panel is 50 inches wide, narrower than the MIULEE 52-inch panels
- Beige shade may vary from images
- May need ironing to remove packaging wrinkles
Best for: Bedroom decorators who need to match an existing track or want several ways to hang full-length blackout curtains.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need panels wider than 50 inches each or want a guaranteed exact beige shade.
- Material:Textured linen-style fabric with coated lining
- Color:Beige
- Panel count:2
- Panel size:50 x 84 inches each
- Hanging styles:Clip rings, back tab, rod pocket, or tracks
- Clip rings:20 per curtain; 1.26-inch inner diameter
- Care:Machine wash cold; tumble dry low; iron at low temperature
Our verdict“Choose INOVADAY if you want full-length blackout panels that can fit several types of bedroom hardware.”
SimpleHome Cream Blackout Curtains, 52 x 84 Inches, 2 Panels
The SimpleHome cream curtains make sense for a bedroom that needs a light neutral color and straightforward care. Their 52-by-84-inch panels match the width and length of the MIULEE beige curtains, and both use eight 1.6-inch grommets per panel for easy hanging. SimpleHome adds machine- or hand-wash care, which is convenient for bedroom curtains that collect dust over time. The triple-weave blackout fabric is also described as helping reduce heat and noise.
Unlike the MIULEE option, the available details do not state a specific 100% light-blocking figure, so I would not choose SimpleHome when absolute darkness is the deciding factor. Cream can also shift in appearance under different lighting and screens. This is the more practical pick for washable neutral panels, not the safest bet for precise color matching or maximum documented light control.
Pros:- 52 x 84-inch panels suit many standard bedroom windows
- Triple-weave fabric is designed for blackout performance and may reduce heat and noise
- Eight grommets per panel simplify hanging and sliding
- Machine- or hand-washable in cold water
Cons:- No exact light-blocking percentage is provided
- Cream may look different under changing light or on different displays
Best for: Households wanting washable, cream-colored bedroom curtains with standard full-length dimensions and grommet hanging.
Not ideal for: Light-sensitive sleepers who need a stated complete blackout level or decorators matching a precise cream shade.
- Brand:SimpleHome
- Color:Cream
- Panel count:2
- Panel dimensions:52 x 84 inches each
- Material:Triple-weave blackout fabric
- Opacity:Blackout
- Grommets:8 per panel; 1.6-inch inner diameter
- Care:Machine wash or hand wash in cold water; tumble dry low
Our verdict“Choose SimpleHome for washable, full-length cream panels, but favor a more explicitly rated option if maximum darkness matters most.”
ChrisDowa Blackout Curtains, 63 Inches Long, 2 Panels
With charcoal fabric, a 63-inch drop, and grommet tops, ChrisDowa is suited to bedrooms where shorter panels and a darker color make sense. The curtains block up to 98% of sunlight and UV rays, offering a clear light-control figure that the SimpleHome cream set does not provide. Each panel is 42 inches wide, so this pair is less suited to wide windows than the 52-inch MIULEE or SimpleHome options. The six metal grommets per panel should make them easy to put on a compatible rod.
The charcoal shade may help with light control, but it is a stronger visual choice than beige or cream and may not suit every bedroom palette. Care is also more particular: gentle washing below 86°F and low-heat drying are specified. Pick these for a compact, darker setup; skip them if you need full-length panels or low-maintenance laundering.
Pros:- Blocks up to 98% of sunlight and UV rays
- 63-inch length suits shorter windows
- Grommet top supports easy hanging on a compatible rod
- May provide privacy and help reduce noise and heat loss
Cons:- 42-inch panel width provides less coverage than the 50- and 52-inch alternatives
- Charcoal may be too dark for bedrooms with a light, airy palette
- Requires gentle washing and low-heat drying
Best for: Sleepers with shorter bedroom windows who prefer charcoal curtains and want substantial sun and UV blocking.
Not ideal for: Buyers dressing wide or floor-length windows, or anyone who wants light-colored panels and simpler washing instructions.
- Color:Charcoal gray
- Panel count:2
- Panel dimensions:42 x 63 inches each
- Light blocking:Up to 98% of sunlight and UV rays
- Grommets:6 silver metal grommets per panel
- Grommet inner diameter:1.6 inches
- Care:Machine wash below 86°F on gentle cycle; tumble dry low; do not bleach
Our verdict“Choose ChrisDowa for a shorter bedroom window where charcoal styling and strong sun blocking matter more than extra width or easy-care flexibility.”
Navy Blue and Greyish White Ombre Blackout Curtains, 84 Inches Long
For a bedroom that needs strong light control without a plain-looking window, this pair combines a navy-to-greyish-white ombre with decorative wavy lines and a stated 100% sunlight and UV-ray block. Two 52-inch panels provide 104 inches of total width, while the metal grommets make them straightforward to hang and slide. Compared with the Yakamok Grey Blackout Curtain Panels, this set gives the room more color and pattern; Yakamok is the quieter-looking choice if you want neutral grey. The polyester construction is machine washable and may help with drafts, though the listed care routine rules out fabric softener. The main fit limitation is the fixed 84-inch length, which may fall short of the desired look on taller windows.
Pros:- Designed to block sunlight and UV rays for a darker, more private bedroom
- Ombre coloring and wavy lines add pattern compared with plain grey blackout panels
- Two panels provide 104 inches of combined width
- Grommet tops make hanging and sliding on a compatible rod easy
Cons:- The 84-inch length may not suit taller windows or floor-length styling needs
- Care instructions prohibit fabric softener
- The bold color pattern may be harder to coordinate than neutral curtains
Best for: Bedroom owners who want a colorful, patterned blackout pair for standard-height windows and a rod-based setup.
Not ideal for: People with taller windows that need longer panels, or shoppers who prefer understated neutrals and simple fabric-care rules.
- Material:100% polyester
- Color:Navy blue and greyish white ombre
- Panel count:2
- Panel dimensions:52 × 84 inches each
- Combined width:104 inches
- Grommets:8 rustproof silver metal grommets per panel; 1.6-inch inner diameter
- Light blocking:Designed to block 100% of sunlight and UV rays
- Care:Machine wash gentle cycle in cold water; tumble dry low
Our verdict“Choose this pair if you want blackout function with a noticeable ombre design and your window suits 84-inch panels.”
H.VERSAILTEX Blackout Linen-Look Curtains, Natural, 84-Inch, 2 Panels
This pair suits bedrooms where soft neutral styling matters as much as reducing incoming light. The natural color and linen-look polyester give it a more relaxed appearance than the smoother, darker Yakamok Grey Blackout Curtain Panels, while the blackout lining is designed to block sunlight and UV rays. Each panel is 52 inches wide, so the set offers 104 inches of coverage, and eight grommets per panel simplify rod hanging. The fabric may also help soften noise and drafts, a useful bonus for a bedroom near a busy street or a chilly exterior wall. The tradeoff is material: it is polyester, not natural linen, and the 84-inch length will not fit every window. I’d skip it if authentic linen texture is a priority.
Pros:- Natural color and linen-look surface suit understated bedroom schemes
- Blackout lining is designed to block sunlight and UV rays
- Two 52-inch panels provide 104 inches of total width
- Machine washable and may help reduce drafts and noise
Cons:- Polyester construction does not provide the feel of natural linen
- The 84-inch length may be too short for taller windows
- Grommet top limits hanging style compared with multi-option curtains
Best for: Bedroom decorators seeking a light, natural-toned linen look with blackout lining and standard grommet hanging.
Not ideal for: Buyers who require natural linen, longer panels, or a curtain top that does not rely on a rod.
- Material:100% polyester
- Color:Natural
- Panel count:2
- Panel dimensions:52 × 84 inches each
- Pair dimensions:104 inches wide × 84 inches long
- Opacity:Blackout lining
- Top style:Grommet; 8 per panel, fits rods up to 1.5 inches in diameter
- Care:Machine wash cold; tumble dry low; warm iron as needed
Our verdict“Pick this set for neutral bedroom decor and lined light control if polyester is an acceptable alternative to linen.”
Yakamok Grey Blackout Curtain Panels, 52 x 84 Inches, Set of 2
If you want a straightforward grey curtain rather than a decorative focal point, this set offers a two-layer build with black liner backing and a neutral look that is easy to pair with existing bedding. Each panel measures 52 by 84 inches, matching the width and length of the H.VERSAILTEX Blackout Linen-Look Curtains; Yakamok leans simpler and more plainly functional, while H.VERSAILTEX adds a linen-style surface and natural color. The lined construction is intended to block light, reduce noise, and help insulate the room, but those results can vary with installation and window gaps. Grommet tops and machine-washable care keep setup and maintenance uncomplicated. Choose another option if you want a more distinctive design or need independently confirmed soundproofing: the stated noise reduction is not a guarantee of a silent bedroom.
Pros:- Two-layer construction includes a black liner backing
- Neutral grey works with a broad range of bedroom colors
- Grommet top provides an easy rod-hanging setup
- Machine washable and designed to help insulate against heat and cold
Cons:- Light blocking and noise reduction may vary by room and installation
- Plain grey styling is less decorative than the ombre option
- The 84-inch length may not suit taller windows
Best for: Sleepers who want neutral grey, lined panels and an uncomplicated grommet setup for a standard bedroom window.
Not ideal for: People seeking decorative texture, proven soundproofing, or a precise blackout result despite light leaking around the window edges.
- Material:100% polyester
- Color:Grey
- Panel count:2
- Panel dimensions:52 × 84 inches each
- Lining:Two-layer construction with black liner backing
- Opacity:Blackout
- Top style:Grommet; 8 per panel with 1.6-inch inner diameter
- Care:Machine wash cold; do not bleach; low-temperature ironing
Our verdict“Choose Yakamok for a simple grey, lined curtain set, but do not rely on it to eliminate every light leak or outside noise.”
Linen-Look Total Blackout Curtains, Cream, 84-Inch
These cream panels are the most adaptable choice here for bedrooms where the curtain hardware or finished look matters: each panel supports five hanging methods, including back tab, rod pocket, clip rings, hooks, or a track system. That flexibility sets them apart from the grommet-only H.VERSAILTEX Blackout Linen-Look Curtains, though hooks and rings are not included. The textured linen-look face keeps the cream color from feeling too plain, and the blackout coating is designed to block sunlight and provide privacy. Each panel is 50 inches wide, giving the pair 100 inches total—slightly less than the 104-inch sets elsewhere in this roundup. The coating is also claimed to help with heat transfer, but blackout and insulation results can depend on fit and installation. Choose this pair for hanging versatility, not maximum width.
Pros:- Five hanging options accommodate different rods, tracks, and styling preferences
- Cream color and textured linen-look fabric suit light, neutral bedrooms
- Blackout coating is designed to block sunlight and provide privacy
- Machine washable in cold water
Cons:- Hooks and rings are not included
- At 100 inches total, the pair is narrower than the 104-inch sets in this roundup
- Blackout and insulation claims are not independently verified
Best for: Bedroom owners who want cream linen-look panels and need several ways to hang them on existing hardware.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want included hooks or rings, wider total coverage, or verified blackout and insulation performance.
- Color:Cream
- Panel count:2
- Panel size:50 × 84 inches each
- Total width:100 inches
- Fabric:Textured linen-look fabric with blackout coating
- Hanging options:Back tab, hook belt, rod pocket, clip ring, or track system
- Rod pocket:3 inches; fits rods up to 1.6 inches in diameter
- Care:Machine washable in cold water
Our verdict“Pick these curtains if hanging flexibility and a cream linen-look finish matter more than extra panel width or included hardware.”
MIULEE Velvet Blackout Curtains, 52 x 84 Inches, 2 Panels, Olive Green
For a bedroom where a plush, heavier drape is part of the decor, MIULEE’s olive velvet stands apart from the flatter polyester panels in this group. The set offers three hanging methods—rod pocket, back tabs, or clip rings—so it can suit different hardware and styling preferences. Its key compromise is light control: it blocks a stated 70–80% of light, not the full blackout claimed for options like the Navy Blue and Greyish White Ombre Blackout Curtains. That makes it a better fit for sleepers who want privacy and a dimmer room rather than near-total darkness. The substantial fabric is intended to help reduce noise and moderate room temperature, but its darker color is said to block light more effectively. Choose another curtain if daytime sleep demands maximum light blocking.
Pros:- Velvet gives the panels a soft, heavyweight drape
- Three hanging options suit different rods and curtain styles
- Provides privacy and blocks a stated 70–80% of light
- Designed to help reduce noise and moderate heat and cold
Cons:- Does not provide complete blackout
- Olive green may be harder to coordinate than neutral grey or cream
- Light blocking may be less effective than with darker colorways
Best for: Bedroom decorators who want olive velvet, a weighty drape, and moderate light reduction with multiple hanging choices.
Not ideal for: Light-sensitive sleepers, shift workers, or anyone who needs full blackout rather than 70–80% light blocking.
- Brand:MIULEE
- Color:Olive green
- Material:Velvet
- Panel count:2
- Panel dimensions:52 × 84 inches each

Our verdict“Choose MIULEE for a rich velvet look and partial light control, not for a bedroom that needs complete darkness.”
How We Picked
I ranked these bedroom curtains around the decisions that most affect sleep and everyday use: blackout intent, available sizes, fabric appearance, color versatility, and how clearly each option suits a particular room. I gave more weight to picks that appear to balance light control with a bedroom-appropriate look, while recognizing that a strong blackout label cannot promise a completely dark room if light escapes around the edges.
The order also reflects how easily a buyer can match each option to a specific need. The oatmeal total-blackout style earns the lead for its mix of neutral design and darkness-focused positioning; linen-look options follow for buyers who want texture, while shorter panels, bold colors, and velvet rank lower as more specialized choices. Since the supplied product details do not establish fabric-care instructions, hardware compatibility, or measured blackout performance, I do not treat those as verified advantages.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Bedroom Curtains
Choosing bedroom curtains is a fit-and-function decision, not just a color choice. I would start with the window and rod measurements, then decide how much darkness, privacy, and visual softness matter in your room. These broader checks help prevent the most common mismatch: buying curtains with the right label but the wrong coverage.
Measure the Window, Rod, and Desired Hem
Measure from the curtain rod to the point where you want the panels to end, rather than relying on the window’s listed height. A curtain’s stated length may not account for the way its heading hangs from a rod or track, so the finished drop can differ from your estimate. For width, measure the rod and plan for enough combined panel width to cover it with folds when closed. A pair of 42-inch panels and a pair of 52-inch panels can behave very differently on a wide window, even at the same length. If you want curtains to meet in the middle, check that their total width gives you overlap rather than a narrow gap. Measure before choosing between the 63-inch and 84-inch options in this roundup.
Think About Light Leaks, Not Just Blackout Labels
Blackout fabric can block light through the panel, but light may still enter above, below, or beside the curtains. A rod mounted wider than the window can reduce side gaps, while a higher rod can make a window appear taller and limit light above the frame. If you need a very dark room for daytime sleep, think about the full window setup, including overlap and whether the curtain reaches close to the floor. A lighter-colored curtain may still be made for blackout use, but the label alone does not tell you how the room will feel once installed. Room brightness, window orientation, and exterior lighting also affect the result. Treat total blackout as a fabric claim, not a guarantee that every edge of the window will be dark.
Choose Texture and Color for the Whole Bedroom
Neutral shades such as ivory, cream, oatmeal, and natural are easier to coordinate with bedding and wall colors, but they can look different under warm bulbs and daylight. Linen-textured and linen-look panels bring visual softness without relying on a bold pattern, which can suit bedrooms where the curtains should blend in. Velvet and ombre styles make the window a stronger focal point, so they work best when their color connects with other accents in the room. Before choosing a dramatic shade, compare it with your bedding, rug, and wall color rather than viewing it alone. Texture also changes how formal or relaxed a room feels, even when the color is similar. Decide whether you want curtains to disappear into the background or add contrast.
Balance Darkness With the Room’s Other Needs
Bedroom curtains may also need to support privacy, reduce glare, or soften a window’s appearance. The products here are presented as blackout curtains, but the supplied details do not confirm measured sound reduction, thermal performance, or privacy at every lighting condition. If temperature control is a major concern, check the specific product information for construction and care rather than assuming every blackout panel performs alike. For bedrooms used during the day, darkness may matter more than a decorative finish; for a guest room, a versatile neutral may be the better compromise. Think about how often the curtains will be opened and closed, since a heavy or heavily folded treatment can feel less convenient in daily use. Match the main need to a verified feature instead of treating one label as proof of every benefit.
Check Care and Installation Details Before Buying
Fabric appearance does not tell you how a curtain should be washed or whether it needs special handling. Check the maker’s care instructions before buying, particularly for textured or velvet styles that may need different treatment from simpler panels. Also confirm the heading style and required hardware, since the product names and sizes alone do not establish whether a panel works with your existing rod. If you are replacing curtains, compare the new panel width and hanging method with the old set before removing your current hardware. For a first purchase, a straightforward neutral pair in a familiar length is often easier to coordinate than a bold or specialized style. These checks can save you from an attractive pick that does not fit your window or routine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will blackout bedroom curtains make my room completely dark?
Not necessarily. Blackout fabric is designed to block light through the curtain, but light can still pass around the top, sides, or bottom if the panels do not cover those areas. For a darker result, measure carefully, choose enough width for the panels to meet with some overlap, and consider mounting the rod wider than the window. The window’s direction and nearby outdoor lighting also affect the room. If darkness is your main priority, treat the INOVADAY 100% Blackout Curtains as a fabric-focused option, while planning the installation to limit edge gaps.
Should I choose 63-inch or 84-inch curtains for a bedroom?
Choose based on the distance from your rod to the intended hem, not the window’s height alone. The 63-inch options in this roundup suit shorter drops, while the 84-inch styles are a better starting point for taller windows or a floor-length look. A rod mounted above the frame can make a 63-inch panel fall short, so measure after deciding where the rod will sit. Also account for the curtain heading, which affects the hanging drop. If you are between lengths, check the product’s hanging details and decide whether you prefer a hem near the sill, below the window, or close to the floor.
Are light-colored blackout curtains a poor choice for a bedroom?
No. A light shade such as ivory, cream, or oatmeal can suit a bedroom with pale walls and still be sold as a blackout curtain. The shade alone does not establish how much light passes through the fabric, and the panel’s construction matters more than its color name. Light may still leak around the edges regardless of fabric color, so coverage and installation matter too. In this lineup, the light neutral options make sense when you want darkness-focused curtains without a dark visual block at the window. Check product details for the specific construction rather than judging performance from color.
How much curtain width do I need for my bedroom window?
Start with the full width of the rod or track, then compare it with the combined width of the panels. Panels need extra width beyond the window to form folds and close across the opening without looking stretched. A pair of 42-inch panels may be a better fit for a narrower window, while wider panels can provide more fullness or coverage on a larger span. If you want to close the curtains fully at night, make sure the panels can meet in the center after accounting for folds. Check whether the listed width applies to each panel or the set, since that distinction can change the fit substantially.
When is velvet a better bedroom curtain choice than a linen-look style?
Velvet makes more sense when you want a richer texture and a stronger decorative presence, as with the olive green MIULEE panels. Linen-look styles are easier to blend with varied bedroom palettes and tend to read as more understated. The choice is about the room’s look as well as the curtain’s purpose: a bold velvet panel can become a focal point, while neutral textured panels can sit quietly beside the bedding. Do not assume that one fabric is easier to maintain based on appearance; check the care instructions for the exact product. If you are unsure about a strong color or texture, a neutral linen-look option is the more flexible starting point.
Conclusion
For most bedrooms, I would start with the Linen-Textured Total Blackout Curtains in Oatmeal as the best overall choice, thanks to their balance of neutral styling and blackout-focused design. The MIULEE linen-textured panels are my best-value-style pick for shoppers who want a familiar light neutral and a linen-like look, while the INOVADAY 100% Blackout Curtains are better suited to buyers who put darkness ahead of decorative detail. For a premium-feeling finish, I would choose the MIULEE Velvet Blackout Curtains if olive velvet fits the room and care requirements. Beginners can start with a neutral 84-inch pair after measuring the rod and window, since that choice is easier to coordinate than an ombre or velvet statement. For shorter windows, focus on the 63-inch options; for a bolder bedroom, compare the velvet and ombre styles. The right pick depends on measured fit first, then the balance of darkness and style you want.
