Half Price Drapes Signature Velvet Blackout Curtain review

Half Price Drapes is the pick for people who want blackout without the plain look of most blackout fabric. The Signature Velvet panel pairs a 100% polyester velvet face with an off-white thermal lining that the store rates at 100% blackout opacity. Three hanging options are built in: a pole pocket for rods up to 1 1/2 inches, back tabs for a fixed ripple look, and a hook belt for rings and drapery pins, though the hooks cost extra. Panels are 50 inches wide and come in 84, 96, 108 and 120 inch lengths, the longest range on this list for ready-made curtains. The single-panel price of $136.99 looks steep, but the store applies 50% off when you buy 2 or more, so a pair works out at $68.50 per panel. The big drawback for a family home is care: the curtains are dry clean only, which is a poor fit for a nursery or a toddler with sticky hands.

Who it is for

Bedrooms where a dressier velvet look matters as much as blocking light.
