23 Best Curtains, Shades, Blinds Reviewed by Designers 2018

Last updated 22 May 2024
The 23 linen curtains, wood blinds, natural shades, and brass rods chosen by a group of interior designers. Brands included are the Shade Store, Bed Bath & Beyond, silk stuff from Neiman Marcus, Home Depot, West Elm, and more.
Another way to do pleated curtains: These Victorian-esque ones come with some lace detailing.
Not linen, but similarly ethereal, and at a great price.
Another way to get a blue-and-white-pattern pop would be with these shibori-printed curtains.
Yet another way to mix in some pattern: with these drapey curtains that have a stenciled flower print. It comes in five colors, and in some of them (the gray and teal), the flowers take on a slightly abstract, graphic quality.
Another good-looking natural shade option is this Roman one, from the Shade Store.
As for the silk curtains, these sheer ones would go with the natural feeling of the shades …
… Whereas these bold striped ones will cash in a bit more on the contrast.
“The next step in the window-treatment process is often pairing woven wood shades with drapes, which makes the room feel luxuriously layered and complete. We often use this West Elm rod when layering a woven wood shade and custom drapes — it’s substantial, clean, and simple,” says Gates, who uses these exact rods in her own living room. “I had custom window treatments made and had the rings sewn on, which resulted in a really special, custom look that utilized both custom and ready-made items.”
“I tend to choose the black iron rod from Restoration Hardware, as it is grounding and discreet within its beauty,” says Fuller. More finish options are available; however, Fuller prefers the stark color for many of her projects. “It doesn’t matter if you are working with a curtain that has a pocket or if you are using additional hardware, these classic pieces work beautifully in either application.”
