NICETOWN Blackout Curtains, 72-Inch Length

Bright morning light can make a bedroom harder to darken, while sun on a window may fade nearby floors or furniture. These gray NICETOWN blackout curtains pair two panels with grommet tops, so they’re designed to slide along a curtain rod and add coverage without a separate sheer layer. Their listed light blocking ranges from 85% to 99%, so they may darken a room substantially, but the result can vary with the window and how the panels are hung. The set also emphasizes privacy and thermal insulation, with noise reduction as an added benefit rather than a guarantee of silence.

Technical details

The package includes two panels, each 52 inches wide by 72 inches long. Silver grommets have a 1.6-inch inner diameter, and the same color appears on both sides. NICETOWN describes the fabric as heavy and soft, with light blocking of 85%–99%, it also lists thermal insulation and noise reduction. Those claims point to a more substantial window covering than a sheer curtain, but the listing doesn’t provide a measured temperature change or noise rating. The light-blocking range is worth noting if you need a very dark room: it doesn’t promise complete darkness in every setup.

Requirements

These curtains are machine washable. Use water below 86°F and mild detergent, and do not bleach. The care instructions also call for low-temperature ironing and warn against scratching the fabric with sharp objects. The grommets are intended to make installation and sliding straightforward, but the product details don’t specify a compatible rod diameter, so match the rod to the 1.6-inch grommet opening before buying.

Usage tips

In a bedroom, draw both panels across the window at night, then open them in the morning when you want daylight. They can also suit a living room where privacy and reduced sun exposure matter. For the best coverage, consider how the combined panel width compares with your window and whether light could enter around the edges, blackout fabric alone can’t close gaps outside the panels. If your priority is a bright, airy look, a sheer curtain may be a better fit. If you want one heavier layer instead, this set is designed to provide room darkening without needing a sheer underneath. It suits you if you want matching panels with a simple grommet-top design. It might not be a great match if you need verified soundproofing or guaranteed total darkness.

Before you decide

How many curtains come in the package? Two panels are included, each measuring 52 inches wide and 72 inches long.

Are both sides the same color? Yes. The product description says both sides have the same color, which can be useful if the back of the curtains is visible from outside or another room.

Will they block all light? The listed range is 85%–99% light blocking. That indicates substantial room darkening, but the description doesn’t guarantee a completely dark room or specify how much light may enter around the edges.

Is it worth it?

This set makes sense if you want two coordinated gray panels that can darken a bedroom or living room, add privacy, and offer a heavier alternative to sheers. The grommet format and matching reverse sides keep the design straightforward, and the care instructions are clear. The tradeoff is that the listed light-blocking range leaves room for some light to remain, while the noise-reduction and insulation claims aren’t backed by measurements in the product details. Choose it for everyday room darkening and a simple window treatment, look elsewhere if complete blackout or quantified sound control is essential.
