Early morning light waking you up each day? Or maybe there’s a dreaded streetlight right outside your window that prevents you from falling asleep. No matter the reason, blackout curtains can help keep the light out—and the best styles can even add to your decor. These curtains are typically made of a thicker material or have a dark panel on the back to block out more light than usual, but they can also help provide insulation from outside noise, heat or cold. This makes them ideal for bedrooms or any room you prefer total darkness where a thinner linen curtain or traditional shades might not be able to complete the job.

Since how much light these curtains truly block out varies just as much as their style, size and price, we vetted the top-rated ones on the market to bring you our picks for the best blackout curtains.
