Curtains are one of those design elements that can elevate a space from simply furnished to intentionally designed. When you stop and think about it, they’re the thing that adds a finishing look to a room that says, “Yeah, I thought about what I did here.” Not only that, but curtains provide privacy and block sunlight, a must for bedrooms and city apartments that can see right into the neighbor’s space. When it comes to shopping for curtains, though, you might not be sure where to start. That’s where we come in. It can feel daunting searching for options that are affordable yet stylish, so we’ve rounded up 10 places we think hit that balance perfectly. From affordable staples like Target and Bed, Bath & Beyond to high-end retailers like West Elm and Pottery Barn, shop our favorite places to buy curtains today!

We love West Elm when it comes to, well, everything, and their curtain selection is no different. From blackout to velvet curtains, the retailer has a wide array of options in color palettes and patterns we’re kind of obsessed with. These European flax linen curtains in Terracotta add a fantastic pop of color while still keeping your apartment bright and airy.
If you have a lot of windows and want to create a cohesive look, Target is a great option for affordable curtains of all types and colors. We love Target’s Threshold brand for classic decor at a good price, especially these simple yet stylish Aruba linen curtains. Available in 10 colors, these add a crisp finish to any room.
If you have a very specific style in mind, Pottery Barn will be your best bet for traditional curtains (with a modern flair). You can search by color, light filtration, and panel length, as well as header type. For a curtain with excellent blackout capabilities (and noise reduction!), we love these Best List winning curtains.
We love Pepper Home for its modern prints and inspired fabrics—making it the perfect place to pick out some eye-catching curtains. All panels are made to order and ready to ship in two weeks, plus are customizable to fit your exact window size. We love the sophisticated yet fun Hockney Curtain, which takes a fresh take on a modern abstract pattern. Pair it with a fun pillow to add some quirky charm to your space.
If you’re searching for curtains for a specific room, we recommend Bed Bath & Beyond. You can find a wide selection ranging from kitchen to bathroom curtains, with an array of style options. You can also search by curtain type (like door or window), and then narrow down your search by color, size, light filtration, hanging style, and more. These anti-dust curtains are a clever way to create a healthier room by minimizing allergens—and they look nice, too.
When it comes to stand out art, Society6 has always been our go-to, so it’s no surprise the curtain selection is as fun as the rest of the site. If you’re looking specifically for patterned panels you won’t find anywhere else, this site should be your first stop. We love the pattern on these sheer curtains, which kind of creates a light show as the sun filters through them.
If you’re looking for curtains to fit a particular style, Overstock is one of your best options. You can shop by window type, material, header type, price, and more, plus you can also filter by style, including shabby chic, farmhouse, and mid-century modern. These simple and breezy curtains will add some soft style to your room while allowing light to filter in.
Leave it to Urban Outfitters to take a functional decor piece like curtains and make them effortlessly whimsical and bohemian. Between all the playful patterns and textured accents, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for. If you want some color, this velvet window panel is perfect for easy hanging—and it’s sale!
Home Depot isn’t just for your home renovation needs—it’s also a great spot for window treatments. From simple light-filtering curtains to custom-designed curtains guaranteed to make an impact, Home Depot has a huge selection. If you’re a city dweller hoping to keep light and excess noise out, you can’t go wrong with these blackout window panels.
When it comes to curtains, The Shade Store means business. We’re talking customized curtains in every aspect, with eight styles and 650+ exclusive materials. These pinch pleat drapes bring a unique style to your window and are customizable by collection, material, and color. You can even order material swatches and schedule a free window measurement to get started.

Every weeknight, once the dishes have been washed and I’ve taken a shower, I do the same thing: I make a cup of tea, grab my favorite throw, and indulge in some kind of entertainment. Sometimes it’s a podcast, sometimes it’s a book, and sometimes it’s TikTok. Yes, dear reader, if you haven’t caught on by now, I’m a little bit TikTok obsessed. And if you’ve read any of my previous TikTok-themed pieces, you’ll know I’m particularly fond of the home and decor sides of the app. A couple of months back I wrote about candle warmer lamps and how they were taking over #DesignTok (it felt like I couldn’t go a day without seeing a video of someone decorating their space with one of these lamps.) After researching that piece and fawning after each subsequent lamp I wrote about, I decided to put one to the test for myself. So, I picked up the one that started it all: the luzdiosa Glass Candle Warmer Lamp. Let’s just say, I wasn’t disappointed.

Before I get to my review, a little refresher on these lamps and why they’re so popular. One quick look and it’s easy to see why decor aficionados love them: They’re chic, they’re stylish, and they come in a variety of different designs that’ll go with any aesthetic. But the thing that’s really special about these lamps is how expertly they marry style and function. Aside from pulling double-duty as a lamp and candle warmer (which can help extend the life of your candles!), they are also made with safety in mind. No open flame means no fires, which is a major plus for parents and pet owners. Top that off with the fact that many feature timers, and you’ll never have to fret about falling asleep with a candle on again. What’s not to love?
Okay, on to my review. Now, I knew in theory why these lamps should be lauded, but part of me couldn’t help but wonder if it was all just social media hype that would lead me to an inevitable letdown. Oh, how I love to be proven wrong. As I mentioned above, I went with this luzdiosa pick as it was the one that immediately caught my eye (and had the fastest shipping time; they are truly selling like hotcakes). First green flag: It came wonderfully packaged with two lightbulbs. Score. Next was the design — With its gold neck, neutral oak-colored base, and a glass shade that glimmered even before turning it on, I couldn’t help but let out an Owen Wilson-esque “Wow” as I unpacked it. Last but not least: showtime. I cleared off the perfect spot for it, plugged it in, and marveled both at how stunning it looked lit up and how quickly it began melting my candle; The scent was immediately dispersed throughout my apartment and I, well, was in love. Take a look for yourself below.
Yeah, suffice it to say, this lamp was everything I wanted it to be and more. Ready to try one of them out for yourself? You can get your hands on the very same pick for $55 today, with your choice of either a clear glass shade or a golden glass shade. Now if you don’t mind, I’ve got a TikTok rabbit hole to fall through — I’m on the hunt for my next find.

At this point in the year, I’m beginning to understand why certain people get the urge to redecorate their homes all the time. As much as I enjoy the decorative pumpkins that line my front porch every October and the Christmas tree that lights up my living room in December, there always comes a day when I can’t stand to look at them anymore. From spring cleaning to fall decorating, swapping out old decor for fresh new picks is kind of imperative to preserving my sanity. The same can be said for non-seasonal accessories. Let’s face it: Changing your surroundings is fun! You should never underestimate the power of a good throw pillow or a new plant.
