Make It Nice: Windows And Floors | Defector
"I'm happy with IKEA curtain rods, but I don't know where to get high quality and interesting curtains. Do you have recommendations? Our house is old and has weirdly shaped windows, so most rooms need curtains of various sizes. Curtains must also be thermal/insulating because we don't have AC and the exterior walls have only a tiny bit of insulation. Blackout is a nice feature to have as well."
"You're looking for curtains that are cool, thermal, and blackout. I think it's tough to check all three of those boxes. I want to pitch something slightly different: I think you should consider getting blackout/thermal shades in a neutral color. You can get these made to fit your various window sizes. You can still layer curtains on top, but they become more decorative."
"When I saw your existing curtains, I instantly thought of Anthropologie. Much like everything they sell, the curtains are pretty pricey. The great thing about this store is that they clear out their inventory regularly. If you like something today, chances are it'll be on sale right after Christmas. I kind of love these '70s-ass curtain panels!"
Custom neutral blackout and thermal shades provide tailored fit, insulation, and reliable blackout performance for irregular or varying window sizes. Purchasing made-to-measure shades addresses thermal and blackout needs, allowing decorative curtains to serve primarily aesthetic roles. Layering decorative panels over functional shades increases style options without sacrificing performance. Retailers such as Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters offer distinctive curtain panels, often discounted seasonally, while IKEA provides affordable hardware like curtain rods. Frequent sales and buy-one-get-one-free offers can reduce cost for custom shades or panels. Prioritizing fitted shades yields better insulation and a cleaner, more flexible window-treatment solution.
