Last Update:April, 2025

Hi there! I'm James, the owner of Dolcewe.com. We make custom curtains for every room in your home. Today, I want to talk about gaming room curtains. The right curtains can make your gaming better. They block light, reduce noise and screen glare, and make your room look cool.

We've helped gamers find the perfect curtains for over 10 years. Our curtains start at just $26.99. Let me show you how to pick the best curtains for your gaming room.

Key Takeaway 

• Select blackout and soundproof curtains to eliminate external distractions from light and noise during intense gaming sessions.

• Consider stylish themed or colorful curtains to complement your gaming decor and aesthetic.

• Choose materials with opaque, tight weaves like velvet or insulated fabrics for maximum light blocking.

• Opt for high-tech motorized curtains for convenient light adjustment at the touch of a button.

• Measure window sizes precisely and install rods correctly for full coverage and effectiveness of your gaming curtains.

Why Your Gaming Room Needs Special Curtains

Have you ever tried to play games with sun in your eyes? It's not fun. The glare makes it hard to see your screen. Blackout curtains can fix this problem.

Gaming is about being in another world. Outside noise can pull you out of that world. Soundproof curtains help keep your space quiet.

The right curtains also help with:

• Keeping your room at the right temperature
• Making your gaming setup look awesome
• Creating the perfect mood for gaming
• Protecting your gaming gear from sun damage

Your gaming room should feel special. It should help you focus on your games. Good curtains are a big part of that.

Types of Curtains Perfect for Gaming Rooms

Not all curtains work well for gaming. Let's look at the best types for gamers.

Blackout Curtains

Blackout curtains are a must-have for serious gamers. They block 100% of outside light. This means no glare on your screen. Your game colors will look better too.

I recommend blackout curtains if you:

• Play during the day
• Have windows near your gaming setup
• Want to see game details better
• Stream your gameplay

Soundproof Curtains

Does outside noise bother you when gaming? Soundproof curtains can help. They have thick fabric that absorbs sound. They won't block all noise, but they make a big difference.

These curtains also help keep your gaming sounds inside. Your family or neighbors will thank you!

Thermal Curtains

Gaming computers and consoles create heat. Thermal curtains help keep your room cool. They also save money on your energy bill.

In winter, they keep warm air in. In summer, they keep hot air out. Your gaming room stays comfy all year.

Light-Filtering Curtains

Some gamers don't want total darkness. Light-filtering curtains are a good middle option. They reduce glare while letting in some natural light.

These work well for:

• Casual gaming rooms
• Spaces you use for other activities too
• Rooms where total darkness feels too cave-like

How to Choose the Right Material and Style

The fabric of your curtains matters a lot. Let's talk about the best options for gamers.

Best Materials for Gaming Curtains

Velvet is great for gaming curtains. It's thick and blocks light well. It also absorbs sound better than thin fabrics.

Polyester is another good choice. It's easy to clean and lasts a long time. Many gaming room curtains use polyester with special backings.

Cotton works well too, especially with blackout linings. It feels nice and comes in many colors.

Colors That Work Best

Dark colors block light better than light ones. Brown, navy, and dark gray are popular for gaming rooms.

But your curtains should also match your room. Many gamers choose colors that match their:

• RGB lighting setup
• Gaming chair or desk
• Team colors or favorite games

Gaming-Themed Options

Want curtains that show your love of gaming? Look for:

• Curtains with gaming symbols or controllers
• RGB or LED compatible fabrics
• Custom prints of your favorite games
• Patterns that match your gaming setup

Installation Tips for Maximum Gaming Benefits

Installing your curtains the right way makes a big difference. Here's how to do it.

Measuring Your Windows Correctly

Before you buy, measure your windows. Write down the width and height in inches. For gaming rooms, I suggest:

• Add 8-12 inches to each side of your window. And choose 1.5x or 2x fullness
• Insall your curtain rod and hang curtains 4-6 inches above the window
• Let curtains go to the floor for better sound control

Wrong measurements can let light leak in. Double-check before you order.

Choosing the Right Curtain Rods

For gaming curtains, get sturdy curtain rods. Blackout and soundproof curtains are heavier than normal ones.

Wrap-around rods work best. They curve at the ends to prevent light from coming in at the sides.

Extra Tips for Better Results

• Use double rods with sheer and blackout layers for flexible control
• Add curtain clips to close gaps in the middle
• Try magnetic strips at the edges to seal against the wall
• Install curtains as close to the ceiling as possible for best effect

How to Keep Your Gaming Curtains Looking Great

Gaming rooms can get dusty with all that equipment. Here's how to keep your curtains clean.

Most gaming curtains can be machine washed on gentle cycle. Check the tag to be sure.

Vacuum your curtains once a month. This removes dust that can affect your gaming gear.

For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Don't scrub hard or you might damage the blackout coating.
