ele ELEOPTION Stars Blackout Curtains with Eyelets (1 Panel) – Blue, Double Layer Star Window Drapes for Kids Rooms
Product description
The essentials
If you’re trying to make a kids’ bedroom feel calmer at night, ele ELEOPTION’s Stars Blackout Curtains are worth a look. They use a double-layer setup: a blackout layer designed to reduce light and UV, plus a sheer/voile-style layer with a star cut-out effect to keep the room feeling more playful than dark and heavy.
There’s a clear “room mood” angle here. On paper, when daylight comes through the hollow star shapes, it can create a speckled, starry pattern on walls and floors—exactly the sort of detail that makes curtains feel like part of the decor rather than just window covering.
What to know before you buy
These curtains are supplied as a single panel. That’s fine if you’re covering a wide span with two panels, but if you only order one for a typical double-width window you may end up with uneven coverage. Also, because the design mentions eyelets with plastic grommets, the installation is set up for a curtain pole system—if your window setup is different, it’s something to check first.
Materials-wise, they’re made from polyester. The blackout claim is fairly specific: the fabric is described as able to block around 70%–85% of sunlight and help block ultraviolet rays. The blackout performance won’t replace heavy, fully lined “blackout” systems in every home, but for everyday light control in a kids’ space, it’s a sensible middle ground.
Key features that matter in everyday use
The standout element is the double-layer design with cut-out stars and contrasting colours. The blackout fabric is paired with a white voile layer, so you get two effects at once:
- Daytime privacy and light reduction from the darker layer
- A softer, airy look from the sheer/overlay layer
The star pattern is not just decorative. If you leave a door or window open, the description also suggests it can help limit flying insects entering the room. That’s the sort of “bonus” you notice more during warmer months, rather than something you’ll measure with a ruler.
Where it shines (and where it doesn’t)
These curtains make the most sense if you want something that does more than block light—something that adds a themed feel to a child’s bedroom, playroom-style living area, or even a study. They’re positioned as “kids’ rainbow star” type curtains, so they’ll land best if you’re going for a fun, colourful look.
That said, there are a couple of limitations to keep in mind. First, because you only receive one panel, the visual impact and light control depend heavily on how wide your window is and whether you add a matching second panel. Second, the blackout level is described as a percentage range, so if you’re aiming for near-total darkness for naps in bright summer evenings, you may find you need a more intensive blackout approach.
Getting the most from the starry look
A practical way to judge whether these suit your space is to think about where daylight hits. If your window receives strong morning or afternoon sun, the hollow stars will likely show up more clearly on nearby surfaces. For example, in a child’s bedroom, you’ll often see the pattern land on the floor or wardrobe area when the curtain is pulled across.
It’s also worth using them in a way that matches the design: close the curtains in the evening for calmer light levels, and open them enough during the day to let the voile layer create that “sparkly sky” effect without making the room feel washed out.

Final verdict
Worth considering if you want kids’ curtains that combine light reduction with a star-themed look and you’re happy to work with a single-panel purchase. If you’re buying for a typical wide window and need full coverage, you’ll likely want two panels (the listing notes the pair should be ordered separately).
You may want to skip these if you’re chasing the darkest possible blackout effect, or if your window setup doesn’t suit eyelet/curtain pole installation. For most everyday bedtime-light control and a more “room decor” feel, they’re a practical choice—just don’t expect perfect, uniform darkness from any percentage-based blackout claim.
