curtains & window

Choosing the right window treatments for your home is important because they serve multiple purposes: filtering or blocking light, providing insulation, and enhancing your décor with their patterns, colors, and textures.

Most of the blinds and shades we offer at Bed Bath & Beyond can be used alone or along with curtains or drapes. The blinds we carry include horizontal options like wood-look plantation blinds and narrow, cordless mini blinds as well as vertical patio blinds. They’re all easy to adjust for the amount of light control and privacy you desire, and some are specifically designed for a room-darkening effect. Shades from Real Simple® include modern cellular models with honeycomb cells that offer a sleek look as well as light control and insulation. This brand also has cordless solar roller shades that block 95% of sunlight and offer a subtle, minimalist look. Other options include layered, Roman, and pleated shades as well as bamboo roll-up shades that are great for sunrooms.

When you’re shopping for curtains or drapes, the first thing you’ll need to decide is which length best suits your window and the rest of the room’s décor. The standard lengths for curtains to cover living room and bedroom windows are apron length, 63 inches, typically ending just below the window ledge; floor length, usually 84 or 95 inches; and puddle length, 108 inches, meant to pool on the floor. Brands such as Umbra® also make valances and other designs for your kitchen, dining room, or home office. These treatments are shorter and allow you to let in some fresh air and light. You also need to decide how wide the curtains should be to achieve the amount of fullness you want, and what type of top — for example, rod pocket, grommet, or tab top — they should have to fit the curtain rods you have in mind.

Another consideration is how much light your window treatments should allow into the room. You might choose blackout drapes for a bedroom but prefer translucent curtains that just filter the light for a room that gets a lot of daytime use. No. 918® is one brand that offers sheer, semi-sheer, opaque, and room-darkening curtains and drapes. It’s also important to choose a color you’ll love to live with. Do you like the look of an all-white living room with a clean and modern design? White coverings are a good option for you. If you have pets or kids and worry that light colors will show dirt and stains, go with a deeper color. Snag drapes in charcoal gray or dark blue that will hide all types of stains. For a pop of color, you can choose a vibrant hue like purple or red. When you shop from top brands such as Bee & Willow™ and Simply Essential™, you'll have plenty of appealing choices.
