I know it can be hard (and honestly quite exhausting) to sort through endless product pages and product reviews online. Shopping online is not for the faint of heart—especially when it comes to home goods. My mission is to make shopping online easy for you. I want to help take the load off and share products that I love and have tried for myself. Leave it to me to compare different products and to sift through seemingly contradictory product reviews. I know you have a lot on your plate!
In the past I have shared DIY projects like this “No Sew Pinch Pleat Curtain Hack” and I have even created guides for hanging curtains like a pro, but for some reason I haven’t shared my favorite curtains in a blog post yet. Shopping for curtains can be tricky—especially if you’re shopping for them online. When shopping for home finds like curtains, I really like to be able to feel the weight, texture and thickness of the fabric. Now, obviously that’s not possible to do through a computer screen, so I purchased 7 highly rated curtains and drapes from Amazon so I could get a feel for them..literally. Being able to actually touch a product makes all the difference. Of course there are thousands and thousands of great curtains out there, so I’m not saying this is an all-inclusive or exhaustive test of the absolute best curtains, but I did think it would be fun to help narrow down the search for you and choose a handful of Amazon’s best-selling drapes and review them for you. Let’s get to it!
My Top 3 Amazon Curtains
I will be reviewing each curtain, but I did want to start off by showing you my top 3 curtain finds from Amazon. Each of these curtains impressed me and are an Amazon win in my book. If you are in the market for new window treatments in your bedroom, dining room or living room, these are the best Amazon curtains I tried. Aside from the quality, I am such a fan of how budget friendly these curtain panels are. There’s nothing better than refreshing a room in your home and being able to find beautiful products that are affordable.
Curtains vs Drapes
Wondering the difference between curtains and drapes? There’s actually some debate as to what qualifies strictly as a curtain rather than a drape. But these days they are used interchangeably on most home decor sites. You’ll see my options below all mention “curtains” but some technically fall under the “drape” category.
The general consensus (and how I think of it) is that drapes have more permanence than curtains, and often have a more formal look. Drapes are usually made of heavier fabrics than curtains, and they aren’t as easy to change out. Drapes are often decided upon as part of your window treatment, whereas curtains are easy to swap in and out—they tend to be less expensive and available in a wider variety of colors, patterns, and prints than drapes.
If you’re deciding whether to purchase curtains or drapes, here are a few things you should consider:
Are you going for a more formal, or more relaxed look? Drapes can give off a formal or timeless luxury feel, but curtains make a room feel more lived-in and laidback (that said, this varies depending on the design!) Drapes are also pleated, whereas curtains most often fall straight from the curtain rod.
How often will you change out your style? I love the ease of curtains because they could be updated for each season if you choose. It’s an easy, budget-friendly decor swap that doesn’t require a major commitment. This is also helpful in kids bedrooms as you can easily update the style as they grow.
How much light do you want to let in? While curtains have tons of blackout options these days, drapes are designed to provide more privacy and block more light with their heavier weight. You won’t typically find sheer or semi-sheer drapes; if that’s your style you’ll want to opt for curtains.
What looks best with your windows? Historically drapes have been designed as a full-length window treatment, whereas curtains can run in various lengths depending on your needs. But this has changed a lot in recent times, with curtains offering more formal and full-length options too. In the end, you want to choose something that goes best with your windows, walls, and the furniture and decor surrounding them!

Here are a few more tried and true curtains (and some drapes) from Amazon! These may have not ranked in. my Top 3, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t great curtains.
Pro Tip: I do recommend having a steamer on hand if you purchase any of the velvet curtains in this post because once you unfold them and hang them up there will be fold lines on them.
