HOMEIDEAS Blackout Curtains, 84-Inch

Highlights

Bright morning light can make a bedroom harder to sleep in or wash out a living room during a movie. These HOMEIDEAS curtains are designed to block light with a blackout core behind a faux-linen surface.

The set includes two burnt-orange panels, each 52 by 84 inches. Their textured look suits boho and modern farmhouse rooms without relying on a shiny or formal finish.

Each panel has a rod pocket and back tabs, and the listing also says the curtains can be used with pinch-pleat hanging. A 3-inch rod pocket fits a 1.5-inch pole. Keep in mind that the panels’ stated width is 52 inches each, so a wide window may need more than one set for fuller coverage.

Care & maintenance

The curtains are machine washable in cold water on a delicate cycle with mild detergent, do not bleach. The care instructions allow tumble drying on low. If folds from packaging show after hanging, use a cool iron or steam iron to smooth them out. That makes upkeep fairly straightforward, though the product details do not specify how the fabric should be handled beyond these instructions.

Practical tips

For a bedroom, draw the panels before bedtime to reduce incoming light, in a living room, they can help darken the space for a daytime movie. The listing recommends placing the brackets 4–6 inches above the window frame and extending the rod 4–6 inches past each side. That wider placement is intended to limit light leaking around the edges, but blackout coverage still depends on how the curtains fit your particular window.

Before choosing a set, compare your window dimensions with the two panels’ combined width and decide how much overlap or fullness you want. Without that measurement, it is hard to tell whether one set will cover the window the way you expect. Compared with a lighter decorative curtain, this one prioritizes light blocking, compared with a fitted shade, it offers a fabric-draped look and flexible hanging options instead.

Practical doubts

What comes in the package? Two burnt-orange faux-linen curtain panels, each listed as 52 by 84 inches.

Will they fit my curtain rod? The rod pocket is 3 inches and is described as fitting poles up to 1.5 inches. Back-tab and pinch-pleat hanging are also listed as options.

Can I machine wash them? Yes. The care directions say cold water, a delicate cycle, mild detergent, and no bleach, tumble dry on low.

Should you buy it?

A solid pick if you want a warm burnt-orange accent with a blackout design for a bedroom or living room, and you like the softer look of faux linen over a plain, utilitarian panel. It might not be a great match if you need guaranteed edge-to-edge darkness without adjusting your rod placement, or if your window needs wider panels than the two included provide. Check the dimensions against your window first, the appeal here is the combination of room-darkening intent, textured styling, and more than one listed hanging method.
