Velvet, light-blocking curtains for less than $40? Yes, please. (Once again, this is why Amazon is the savvy-shopper's best-kept secret.) These 52-inch wide curtains come in four lengths and 16 colors, including both pastels like pink and rich jewel tones. One Amazon reviewer commented, "I love them! They're lovely soft velvet. Heavy enough to hang beautifully, but not so heavy as to be a pain. The stitching is all fine, the corners don't pucker, and all 4 panels are the same length. These are not 100% blackout curtains but they do block MOST of the light. I'm using these in front of a sliding door directly opposite a TV and they do cut 100% of the glare."
