Curtains have the ability to instantly change a room—add light, lessen light, give an illusion of space or less space, while also adding much needed warmth and coziness which is appreciated by all! If you're in the I-love-natural-light-through-the-curtains club, or block-that-damn-sunshine-with-the-curtains club, it doesn't matter, because you need to bookmark this list for the best curtains (that cater to both clubs!)
Switch Up Your Curtain Game With These Options Starting At INR 1,000
Jaipur Bageecha Curtains By Rihaa
₹1450
If you're a fan of floral and traditional motifs, then these should already be in your cart. They block out around 80% of the light with which you can expect a soft glow present in your room, making it all dreamy and sun-kissed. What we love most about these apart from them being hand printed, is that they can easily compliment any colour of walls and blend in beautifully.
Sheer Curtains From Ekam
₹1150
If you're in the market for sheer curtains for decorative purposes, or if you simply wish to hang a curtain between rooms and the likes, then do have a look at these kota doria block print ones that are supremely sheer with almost water colour-like lotus motifs. These are great to layer over a thicker curtain, too, for added style.
Ivory Cotton Rope Curtain By Ecofynd
₹1293
Not your traditional curtain, but a fine pick if you're looking to amp up a boho, macrame theme in your space. This curtain is made with an intricate macrame design on top, falling into ropes that do not tangle! Mostly decorative, in trend, and easy to spruce up a corner or doorway—they're perfect!
Solid Curtains By Sheen Decor
₹1199
If you have a lot going on in your room then solid-coloured curtains are your best bet. If you have white walls, then even better, especially if you opt for a maroon, or an off white. These geometric solid curtains by Sheen Decor are definitely worth checking out. They block out most of the light (depending on the colour) and are easy to style.
Lotus Block Printed White Curtain On Jaypore
₹1290
Light yet bright, extravagance yet classy, with block printed lotuses and parrots on them, what's not to love about these door curtains? If light colours (or even white) rule the walls of your home, this will blend in beautifully. They're made of pure cotton, are summery, and great if you like a little light coming in.
Block Out Curtains From IKEA
₹999
These block out curtains by IKEA serve the purpose of doing exactly that—blocking out the light. They make the room pitch dark, which is especially great for sunny spaces, or rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows. They are made from 40 recycled PET bottles—so you get great sleep and know its eco-friendly! They also come in three other colours.
Polyester Window Curtain By Swayam
₹1699
Shop On
These curtains have got a very we've-seen-this-in-every-house vibe to it, which we love! They are quite 'desi' looking too. We like the two-tone situation, and who doesn't love gulmohars? These are made of polyester, which means they are super lightweight, with a silkier feel and sheen to them. And, of course, the maroon would pop on light-coloured and white walls.
Hand Marble Printed Window Curtain By Okhai
₹584
Handblock printing is a centuries-old art form, and this curtain brings that art to life. It has been handcrafted by people from Sanganer Jaipur. We love the marble print and light muted colours, it would definitely stand out in a room without being an eyesore. It's one size (44x60 inches) and is made 100% from cotton.
Reunión Mi Casa Curtain By Over A Pint Of Beer
₹1500
Sometimes the simplest elements have the biggest impact and it holds true for curtains. This one by A Pint Of Beer is unusual, quirky and so much fun. The urban contemporary vibe it exudes, is the kind that completes millennial homes. It comes in variants of five feet and seven feet. If quirk is your style, check out the brand's super fun range of bedsheets, coasters and more.
Damask Cotton Jacquard Curtain By Home - The Best Is For You
₹2236
Expressive and striking, these curtains are as beautiful as evening dresses. We know the pain of setting up a house and the truckload of furniture you zeroed in on after months of planning. This curtain panel will give your room character. It's available in colours like blue, golden, turquoise, ivory but we are sold on the brown because it'll compliment all that furniture really well.
Floral Green Curtains By GM
₹3199
Shop On
As the winters quickly approach, we're drawn to warm colours that will make the home look and feel cozier, and that's why we think these by GM, are a perfect addition to your collection of winter/Christmas curtains.
Ruffle Door Curtains By Chumbak
₹1795
Shop On
Ruffle curtains were a big trend and continue to be so. This set by Chumbak is all sorts of quirky, refreshing, yet sophisticated with its light pista colour. It'll go with most walls and will look perfect along with some house plants by a window.
Cut Work Woven Curtains By FabIndia
₹1790
Shop On
FabIndia and their products are known for their quality and durability and maybe that's why we we're surprised when we found this gorgeous powder blue cutwork cotton curtains! They're lightweight with just enough opaqueness. While the colour itself is something that will go with most walls and rooms.
Floral Sheer Curtain By GM
₹2899
Shop On
Pretty, breezy, and lightweight, these ones are perfect if you want curtains to block out light, but just enough for the light sunlight to still creep in. The pattern is fresh with muted green and grey leaves while the fabric is sheer, which is more than perfect for the weather.
Coastal Botanique Curtains By Rihaa
₹1450
Another pick from Rihaa because their collection is just that good. This one is made from cotton, available in 5 ft, 7 ft, 8 ft and 9ft. There's also an option to choose the type of fitting you want—loops, channel fitting, eyelets, pocket rod–and lining options. The palm trees print is giving summer, in a good way.
