Blackout Curtain Buying Guide

Catalog updated 2026-10-25

Select the correct window treatment based on light-blocking needs, window dimensions, and installation hardware.

Method

How we organize this catalog

We categorize curtains based on light-blocking percentage, fabric weight, and mounting hardware.

Light blocking

We distinguish between room darkening and 100% total blackout curtains with specialized liners.

Dimensions

Listings are grouped by standard lengths including 63 in, 84 in, and 96 in panels.

Header types

Options include grommet top, rod pocket, back tab, and pinch pleated styles for various rods.

Our marks

How we calculate product ratings

Scores come from what shoppers actually said, not from a fixed formula we invented.

The public average leads

When a listing has a public average rating, that number drives most of the score.

Stored notes count a little

Any notes we saved about a product still nudge the score, just not as much.

Review count and availability matter

More reviews raise the mark slightly, very few lower it, and often-unavailable listings lose a little.

Determine the light blocking level

Choose 100% total blackout curtains for nurseries and bedrooms to ensure complete darkness during the day.

Match the curtain length to your window

Standard sizes include 63 in, 84 in, and 96 in options to fit different ceiling heights and window frames.

Select the appropriate mounting style

Grommet tops offer a modern look, while pinch pleated and back tab styles provide a more tailored appearance.
