CB2 European Flax-Certified Linen Blackout Curtain Panels

Wirecutter's top pick for room-darkening curtains that actually look beautiful. Certified European flax linen hangs with a breezy, light aesthetic while still delivering impressive light blocking.

$100-$200
Pros
  • Wirecutter's top pick after testing dozens of curtains
  • European Flax-certified linen for a premium, natural look and feel
  • Impressive room-darkening ability despite light, breezy appearance
  • Hangs beautifully with a sophisticated drape
Cons
  • Significantly more expensive than budget blackout options
  • Room-darkening rather than full blackout — won't achieve cave darkness
  • More expensive and fewer extras than the similar West Elm option
Why we recommend it

If you care about how your curtains look as much as how they perform, CB2's linen panels are the move. Wirecutter tested dozens and these came out on top — they're the rare curtain that looks expensive because it is, and it's worth it.

The breezy CB2 European Flax–Certified Linen Blackout Window Curtain Panels hang gorgeously while still offering impressive room darkening (without blacking out the room completely). They're some of the most room-darkening curtains we tested.
