They’re thicker than standard drapes (more like a hotel curtain!) and can also help to regulate temps in all seasons. Choose from a ton of colors and dimensions, each of which come with two panels per set.

Similarly, the Amazon Basics version get rave reviews for their ability to block light, sound and UV. In fact, one enthusiastic reviewer suggests, “Once you put these bad boys on your window, the room will turn into a black hole of darkness that will engulf both soul and body.” Welp, sold.

They’re available in a variety of muted colors and stylish lattice and herringbone patterns that work as well in nurseries as they do your own bedroom. Included in each set you’ll find two panels and two velcro tie-backs.

Blackout curtains with a stylish pattern are almost impossible to find, so obviously these caught our eye.

They come in 14 different colors from light neutrals to bold earthy tones and sold in single panels.
