blessed3x Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 This forum has been a wealth of information, so I hope you can help me now. I need new curtains. Or, I *want* new curtains. :tongue_smilie: These would be for a front office and DR. I want them to match. The paint color is a (warm?) light taupe and the rooms have hardwood floors. I would like them to be lined, or maybe you can convince me otherwise. :D They need to be reasonably priced, as I would need 16 panels, or 8 pairs (4 windows). :huh: So, where do you buy curtains like that?? :001_cool: Thanks, forum!!

Georgiana Daniels Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 :bigear: We need some too. It used to be JCP would be my go-to, but now I'm not sure what the selection/inventory is like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Yes, JCP is not what they once were. I'm redoing a few rooms gradually, and I haven't found anything I like there of late. Some of my curtains are 20 years old and are actually falling apart from sun damage! They seem to be having stocking issues. Sometimes I see something I like, and then part of it is backordered for a month or more. My experience is that means "maybe not." Why would I buy a valence, and then maybe not get the rest? I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond last week and saw a few options that might work for the room I'm working on. We need to repaint and recarpet first, but I'll go there again when that part is done. Target also has some nice curtains, although not a big selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeW88 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I got a very attractive set of panels for our home office/study at Lowe's. I can't tell you how many people have asked me about them and wanted to know where I got them. And they were a complete impulse buy.

unsinkable Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Target? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 We just spend MONTHS looking for curtains for our newly remodeled bathroom. I ended up making my own. Everything I liked was SO expensive. If you want something simple/single color in a standard size you may have luck at jc penny, ikea, Pier one, Bed Bath Beyond, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannie in NJ Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I don't know if you want to see the curtains in person but I have had great luck buying curtains from overstock.com. I got some dark royal blue darkening floor length drapes for my bedroom that are beautiful and we also got some fun short curtains for the bathrooms. Also the prices are really good.

blessed3x Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thanks for the suggestions. Keep them coming. I have looked at Target, but I think their selection has shrunk by half in my local store.. I do like BB&B, but they are high. Maybe with a coupon and a few at a time?? I have looked on overstock quite a few times, but I would rather see them in person. I may take the plunge though if nothing else works out. I have also looked at TJ Maxx, but selection varies and when I did find one I liked they did not have enough panels. Last year my mother bought some lovely drapes at JC Penney, but when I have looked recently I could not find anything. UGH. A friend found some for her dining room at Lowes. I think I will look there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stayseeliz Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If you have Anna's Linens I'd check there. We bought curtains from that store years ago and they are in great shape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look online, but have never heard of them. Maybe I will get lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnificent_baby Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I have had the good luck with Bed Bath and Beyond. I would suggest this though, especially if you have one nearby to return if you need to. I had to order my panels, not too many stores carry 95 inch. I ordered 2 different sets, was not totally happy with the color/texture and took them back to the store after one set was up for a month (tried to like them, but just could not get used to the color) with no issues at all. The third set was perfect! It can be hard to know if you will love them until they are actually hanging up. Have gotten curtains also from Walmart with no problems either, I felt like they were good quality for the low price. Was also happy with my order from Kohl's, which ended up being very cheap for numerous panels, after using a 30% off coupon. Overall, read reviews when looking, and try to find photo reviews (I think JCP and Walmart offer photo reviews). That helps a lot to see them actually in someone's home.

4kidlets4me Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I like Ikea for curtains. They are reasonably priced and have a decent selection. All my Ikea curtains are machine washable which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimtaxi234 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 We are renting a house right now and didn't want to spend a lot of money, but I am thrilled with the curtains I bought from Walmart (low price and nice thick curtains). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebacabunch Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 IKEA! I looked everywhere and they have a huge selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Ikea, Country Curtains (they aren't all super country looking), JC Penney, Overstock. I've heard lengths are really inconsistent these days, and many times people end up having to buy a bunch to find a few panels that all match right in length. Just as a heads up and something to watch out for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
