Short Blackout Curtains for Bedroom 45 in Length - Complete Light

Our review of these short blackout curtains finds them best for small windows where complete darkness and a linen look matter. The pair covers 104 in width and the fabric uses a thermal blackout coating that blocks light and helps with temperature control, so bedrooms, nurseries, and small kitchens benefit most. The panels hang three ways and drape like heavier linen, making them a practical, affordable choice for anyone who needs reliable 100% blackout performance without high-end linen prices.

Key Features

• Pair Sold: Two panels per package provide a combined 104 in of coverage ideal for small windows and sliding doors.
• 3-in-1 hanging style: Back loops, a 3 in rod pocket, or clip rings give flexible mounting options to create pleats or a classic rod-pocket look.
• 100% blackout coating: A thermal coating on the back blocks sunlight and UV rays to produce a fully darkened room for sleep and privacy.
• Faux linen texture: Thick, 250gsm textured fabric mimics linen and drapes well for a cottage, farmhouse, or shabby chic look.
• Energy smart: The insulated backing reduces heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter to help maintain a balanced indoor temperature.
• Easy care: Machine washable in cold water and cool iron on the front preserves the look while avoiding damage to the thermal coating.

Who It's For

These curtains are ideal for homeowners or renters with small windows around 42 in who want a true blackout solution with a linen-like aesthetic. They suit bedrooms, nurseries, and rooms where light control and some noise reduction are priorities, especially when you need a short 45 in length rather than floor-length panels.

Shoppers who need custom sizes, sheer light filtering, or decorative rings included should look elsewhere, since these panels are fixed at 52 in by 45 in each and clip rings are not provided. If an exact color match is critical, note that neutral shades can read slightly differently under various lighting.
