Cheap Curtains all under $20!

As you may remember from week one, our curtains are currently sitting 6 inches off the ground (a little washing mishap); not only that, they do not match the direction this space is going.

When I was painting the dining room, I took the curtains down, and my husband loved the openness, but I quickly reminded him that our neighbors probably have no desire to watch our family through the window each evening, so we needed to replace them. Enter online shopping.

I’m not gonna lie; I am surprised at how many budget-friendly options there are when it comes to curtains, so I thought I’d share some of my favorites. (Feel free to click on the image for more details πŸ™‚ )

(Remember to measure the length of the curtains you need for your space as some of the options listed may not suit your space.)

    I can’t believe how cool and affordable these curtains are! I bought some from Walmart before and they were great! I was so sorry to hear about your friend. Thinking of you, and their family.

    Oooh, so many good options for curtains. I like slide 2 with the stripes. Or slide 9, the plain white ones. So pretty. Can’t wait to see the whole room next week!

      Those bold stripes are a popular choice. I love them too, I was just worried the gray might now match the bluish gray paint color… ended up finding some at IKEA (all white), and both panels were just $14.99. Perfect for this $100 Room Challenge πŸ™‚

      I think those bold stripes are a definite favorite. I ended up finding some at IKEA for super cheap, so it was perfect for this low-budget challenge πŸ™‚

    I love simple plain white curtains. Boring I know! I’m leaning toward 8-10. I think every pair of curtains in our home is from Ikea because of the extended lengths and amazing prices. And a great selection of plain white. πŸ™‚ Big reveal next week – woo hoo! Can’t wait to see your room!

      I found some at IKEA!!! … and they’re white (with a little white pattern). They are nice and long, and they actually say that when washed they’ll shrink by 4% (so hopefully no more curtains hanging 6 inches off the ground πŸ™‚ ) Gotta love IKEA!

      Seems those bold stripes are a winner! I decided on some from IKEA, but I’m thinking I might need to find a spot for those striped curtains somewhere in my house πŸ™‚

    Sorry to hear about your friend. It’s always hard to lose someone we care about. And all of the curtains are pretty. I’m sure whichever one you choose will look great in your room!

    Walmart had come along way, I found my sheets there and they were half the price of ones I saw in bed and beyond. The curtains choices are really nice and they look like the ones in country curtains.

    I love the bold stripes, too, but they’re all so pretty and paint color does help you narrow it down. Good luck on your choice. Woot!!

    Once again, so sorry for the loss of your friend. Prayers for you all as you grieve.

    Erin! Thanks for the doing the legwork for me on curtains. I just ordered two of the Ironwork Curtain panels from Walmart for my makeover ; ) I can’t wait to see which ones you pick!

    Please accept my condolences on the loss of your friend. My thought and prayers go out to you and your husband.

      When I read that you were looking for curtains, I was like, “Yep. Me too.” So glad you found something that will work in your space! Love that.

      Thank you also for your thoughts and prayers. Much appreciated.

    I’m a fan of bold stripes, so I’d go with those. Sorry to hear about your friend – losing anyone is tough, but especially when it’s unexpected. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband.

      Thanks Eliesa! I love the bold stripes too, just not totally sure the gray will match the paint. Planning a little curtain shopping this week (after all my kiddos recover from some little stomach virus… yuck).

    Hi Erin,

    You’ve found some really pretty budget friendly options for drapes. I personally like 4 and 6 and they are pretty similar but I’m sure you will pick the best one to suit the room.
    Have a great week!
