The 10 Best Places to Buy Curtains in 2025, Tested and Reviewed

Pottery Barn

One of our favorite places to shop for decor and furniture, Pottery Barn is home to cozy modern pieces. With the best decor to dress your home, it’s no surprise the brand has some of the best curtains.

Our personal favorite is the Belgian Flax Linen Blackout Curtain, which we tested in our home for over a year. This curtain is durably constructed and can be hung in various ways. The styling is endless. And if you need a curtain rod to hang it with, we recommend the Standard Curtain Rod & Wall Bracket. It’s sleek and sturdy and comes in many different finishes and sizes.

Pottery Barn’s intricate filter tool also makes finding the best curtain for your home a breeze. You can narrow your search by material, length, hanging style, and machine-washable curtains. But like many items from the retailer, the prices aren’t the most budget-friendly. However, Pottery Barn’s prices are a reflection of its stellar quality.

Pottery Barn is a retailer we highly recommend for shoppers with larger windows who may need something custom. The brand has over 20 custom curtain options and a wide range of fabrics.

Amazon

Over 20,000 results appear with a simple "curtains" search on Amazon. With thousands of reviews to read and best-seller options, you're bound to find the best curtains for your home. But if time is against you and you don't have the free time to scroll, we highly recommend the Nicetown Thermal Insulated Grommet Curtains for its full drape construction and lovely texture. During testing, we found that installing these was a breeze thanks to the large grommet openings at the top of the curtains.

You can also never go wrong with the AmazonBasics line. We found several blackout curtains in various textures at an affordable price. And if you need hardware, our testers love the Umbra Twilight Single Curtain Rod Set for its ability to sit directly against the wall. Pair this with one of Amazon’s heavyweight blackout curtains; no peep of light will shine through.

And if you have an Amazon Prime account, that is even better. Your new pair of curtains can be delivered within two days, sometimes within hours of placing your order. We recommend purchasing directly from Amazon rather than from a third-party seller–the return process is far more straightforward for products purchased from Amazon.

_{Return policy: Within 30 days for items sold by Amazon, third-party sellers may vary | Delivery options: Carriers include UPS, Amazon, and third-party vendors | Perks: Amazon Prime members get free 2-day shipping | Customization available: No}

Wayfair

Wayfair is an online marketplace for all things home, from furniture to cookware to bedding to decor. Like Amazon, Wayfair sells an extensive array of curtains in different styles and sizes at every price point. The retailer has an entire section devoted to blackout curtains, with over 7,000 options.

With over 50,000 options, shopping for curtains on Wayfair can be overwhelming, but the retailer’s intricate filter tool helps shorten the search time. You can narrow your search by size, color, light filtration, room location, and more. To lighten your load, we recommend having an idea of what you want before you browse. 

For those looking for an elegant pair of velvet blackout curtains, the Gracie Oaks Olivia Signature Velvet Curtains are Spruce-approved and excellent in quality and feel. And like our favorite IKEA blackout curtains, the Majgull Blackout Curtain, these Gracie Oaks curtains muffle outside noise.

And for hardware, we love the Wayfair Basics Adjustable Curtain Rod, which doesn’t support fabric weighing more than 7 pounds but has a telescoping rod, many color options, and decorative ball finials.

_{Return policy: Within 30 days (shipping charges not refunded) | Delivery options: Most deliveries made by UPS or FedEx | Perks: Wayfair's credit card offers 5 percent back in rewards that don't expire | Customization available: No}

Ikea

Known for their affordable prices, DIY and customizable pieces, and decor galore, Ikea is one of the best places to shop for curtains if you want endless options. The retailer has many solid and minimal options and fun printed ones for your little one.

If you appreciate getting an extra hour or two of shut-eye, we recommend snagging the Majgull Blackout Curtain. We tested these and found that the curtains block out around 95 percent of light and even limit outside noise. The color options are limited, but you’ll get a solid, durable pair of curtains. And if you want a pair of lighter, breezier curtains, the crushed linen Dytag Curtains is a high-end pick still under $100.

Along with curtains, Ikea is also one of the best places to buy rugs. The retailer offers various natural fiber rugs at an affordable price, with one of our favorite area rugs being the Vedbak area rug, starting at just $60. And if you’re a fan of jute rugs, Ikea is the place to shop.

Ikea is a great place for shoppers looking for something affordable that doesn’t lack quality. And if you’re looking for even further discounted window treatments and coverings, you can find some stellar picks in the Deals sections under “Our Lowest Prices.”

_{Return policy: New and unopened products within 365 days, open products within 180 days | Delivery options: Flat-rate delivery starts at $5 using local third-party companies | Perks: IKEA Family program gives a discount, exclusive deals, and a birthday offer | Customization available: No}

Target

As with its other housewares, Target offers affordable and stylish curtains. At the time of publication, more than 2,000 curtains were available, organized by length and light filtration level.

Some of our favorite options include the Bella Sheer Hidden Tab Top Curtain Panels, which have a breezy look and feel that would suit the bedroom (though not if you're sensitive to light, as they're fairly sheer). The Threshold Blackout Woven Stripe Border Curtain is ideal for those needing maximum darkness but not wanting to skimp on style.

Target's website is easy to browse. In addition to length, you can filter by pattern, material, and heading style (such as grommet top or pleated). The retailer offers free shipping on orders over $35 and a generous 90-day return policy. Pro tip: To find deeply discounted window treatments, go to the Home section of Clearance and filter by "curtain panels."

_{Return policy: Items must be returned within 90 days of purchase with original receipt | Delivery options: Standard shipping (carriers vary), curbside pickup, or in-store pickup | Perks: Exclusive discounts after signing up for Target Circle; Target Red Card holders also get benefits like free 2-day shipping, 5 percent savings, and an additional 30 days for returns | Customization available: No}

Quince

From the best Turkish towels to luxury bedding, Quince is our go-to for everything home, including the best curtains. Quince is more affordable than Pottery Barn, with curtain prices starting just under $50. And whether you prefer cotton, silk, linen, or velvet curtains, Quince has it all.

Unlike other home brands in our guide, we love how Quince helps you find the perfect curtains for your windows based on your interior design style, from modern and contemporary to mid-century to traditional. We tested the Quince European Linen Blackout Curtain and loved how it blocked most of the incoming outside light.

If you like to keep things minimal yet fun, add some stripes to your space with the Coastal Stripe Linen Cotton Curtain. You can also top off the space by adding the Quince Saje Wool Shag Rug, one of the best wool rugs in our guide. It’s a simple and cushioned rug that complements most decor. Plus, it comes in five sizes, including a runner option.

_{Return policy: 365 days | Delivery options: 6-9 business days, U.S. orders only | Perks: Get $20 off your next order when you refer a friend, earn Quince credit when shopping with Quince partners, and U.S. Military, first responders, nurses, and educators receive 10 percent off | Customization available: No}

Walmart

We all know Walmart has been stepping up its home decor offerings, and its curtains are no exception. The retailer has an impressive selection of curtains, valances, and window tiers, as well as many different types of shades and hardware. The site is easy to search, as shoppers can select filters such as brand (there are dozens), size, price, and special offers (at press time, more than 10,000 curtains were listed as on sale). 

Walmart has plenty of attractive, well-made options, and prices tend to be reasonable, especially given the number of discounts that tend to be available. We tested the Better Homes & Gardens Solid Woven Textured Grommet Blackout Curtain Panel in our home for six months and liked how soft yet effective these curtains were at blocking the light from a street lamp outside our bedroom window (Better Homes & Gardens is owned by The Spruce’s parent company, Dotdash Meredith).

Like Target, Walmart has a generous 90-day return policy and can be done online or in person. Keep in mind that the return policies for products not sold by Walmart may vary.

_{Return policy: 90 days | Delivery options: Standard shipping and in-store pickup | Perks: Walmart + holders get benefits like free next-day and two-day shipping and returns picked up from home | Customization: No}

CB2

Known for its modern and sophisticated furnishings and home decor, CB2 has over 70 contemporary, sleek, and minimal designed curtains, from dark green velvet blackout curtains to warm white linen.

Although Pottery Barn shares a similar level of quality, CB2 is slightly more affordable and has an elevated, contemporary style. We recommend shopping at CB2 for modern curtains with a chic flare.

With several color options and fabric materials, this retailer is perfect for those who want to add a pop of color and texture to their space. For example, the Seda Smoked Yellow Dupioni Silk Curtain is simple yet unique in style with its solid, mustard yellow color and 100 percent silk material that’s not an everyday curtain material.

The best part is that all the curtains at CB2 ship for free. So, while the retailer may be more expensive than Wayfair, Amazon, and IKEA, you don’t have to worry about calculating an additional shipping fee. Plus, the quality of craftsmanship is like no other. 

_{Return policy: Eligible new and unused/resealable items are returnable within 30 days of receipt | Delivery options: Free In-store pickup and ship-to store, shipping to home | Perks: Earn 10 percent cash back on merchandise purchases at CB2 and Crate & Barrel with CB2 credit card, 15 percent off full-price items with text and email sign-up}

Anthropologie

You may know Anthropologie for its bohemian, free-spirited fashions. That eclectic-style clothing has spilled over into AnthroLiving Home with fun and quirky home decor and the most gorgeous and unique curtains.

Like CB2, Anthropologie has various curtain styles in different textures, such as velvet, linen, tweed, sheer polyester, and more. But unlike all the retailers on our list, Anthropologie has over 100 patterned curtains, from checkered prints to stripes to embroidered tiger designs to gingham. This is the best place to buy curtains for those who want their decor to be statement pieces. 

While there are over 150 curtains to browse through, you can make your search easier by filtering the results by light filtration, pattern, material, size, and more. The brand doesn’t offer any customizations, but with unique and whimsical designs like the Embroidered Mannette Curtain, which comes in four sizes, there’s no need.

_{Return policy: 60 days for full refund, merchandise credit after that | Delivery options: 2 to 8 business days, carriers vary, or in-store pickup for some items | Perks: Customers will receive free shipping on next order, along with announcements about sale events, with email signup | Customization: No}

Annie Selke

Annie Selke doesn’t have the largest selection of curtains, but it’s the perfect spot for those who get overwhelmed browsing through thousands of curtain options. Unlike most retailers on our list, Annie Selke has many elegant pattern options and solid ones. The quality of the curtains is high, so the prices are higher.

The site has 28 different curtain panels, including linen, cotton, and polyester. Whether your interior design style is modern farmhouse, modern, or bohemian, Annie Selke has a curtain to match over seven design styles. While we haven’t tested an Annie Selke curtain for ourselves, the Folly Indoor Outdoor Rug is one of the best rugs we’ve tested for its handmade, eye-catching design and soft texture. 

Curtain prices retail from $98 to $378. However, the retailer has a sale section that includes discounted linen curtain panels, rods, and other window accessories.

_{Return policy: 30 days | Delivery options: Carriers such as UPS or USPS | Perks: 15 percent off with email signup | Customization: No}
