When it comes to bedroom decor ideas, a few things take center stage. Namely, the bed, nightstands, dressers, and mirrors. Undoubtedly all of these pieces of furniture play a pivotal role in the completion of your bedroom, but there’s one very simple thing you might be missing: curtains, of course! While curtains might not take up the same physical space as actual pieces of furniture, finding the right ones to outfit your windows can totally make or break your room. And, most times, you won’t even realize it until you hang them up and compare side-by-side pictures.
Since we believe everyone should feel the satisfaction of a picture-perfect bedroom, we went ahead and dug through the web for the best bedroom curtain ideas. From white canvas, cream sheers, and bold pops of color to pom-pom edges, floor-length neutrals, and patterned panels, ahead, you’ll find more than a dozen options to consider when dressing your windows. Just keep in mind that some of the options only come in single panels, so you might need to buy two depending on the size of your window and the end look you’re aiming for.
And remember: Even after selecting your curtains, there’s the option to dress up your panes even more based on the hardware you choose. From rods and knobs to rings and valances, the options are pretty endless.
