Blackout Velvet Curtains 90 in Long Panels - Heavy Grommet Drapes

Our review of these blackout velvet curtains finds them best suited for anyone seeking a luxurious, heavy drape that actually blocks light and improves privacy. The pair of panels arrive feeling substantial and silky to the touch, and the 300 GSM velvet gives a rich, lived-in look that many will want in a living room, bedroom, or media studio. If you need strong light reduction, a soft plush texture and a tidy grommet top for easy hanging, these curtains deliver the single biggest benefit: an upscale blackout fabric that looks expensive while performing like a functional room-darkening drape.

Key Features

• Sold as a pair: Two panels are included, each 52 in wide by 90 in long, so standard windows are covered without extra buying.
• Grommet top: Each panel has eight solid grommets with a 1.6 in inner diameter for smooth sliding on most rods.
• 300 GSM velvet: The dense fabric feels very soft and provides a heavy vertical drape that reduces crease visibility and hangs elegantly.
• Blackout performance: The thick construction blocks roughly 65-85% of sunlight and UV, helping darken rooms and protect furnishings.
• Thermal and acoustic benefits: The weight and density help insulate against heat and cold and mildly reduce room noise.
• Easy care: Machine washable on gentle cycle or dry clean, with low-heat steam ironing recommended from the back.

Who It's For

These curtains are ideal for homeowners and renters who want a refined, plush look with meaningful light control: think living rooms, bedrooms, media rooms or a studio where reducing glare is important. The heavy velvet and 90 in length suit taller windows and standard curtain rods thanks to the grommet design.

Customers who need complete blackout for shift-work sleep or who require a certified blackout lining should investigate purpose-built blackout liners or lined drapes, since these panels block most light but are not described as 100% lined blackout. Also, those who prefer a very lightweight sheer should look elsewhere.
