Navy Blue Curtains & Drapes: The Complete Guide for Your Home

Navy blue curtains and drapes are some of our most popular items. Navy is a color that works in many homes. It looks good year-round and matches many styles.

At Dolcewe, we make custom size curtains for homes all over the country. For over 10 years, we have helped people find the perfect window coverings. Our prices start at just $26.99!

Why Choose Navy Blue Curtains?

Navy blue is a timeless color that never goes out of style. It works well in any room of your house. Here are some reasons why our customers love navy curtains:

• They add a touch of class to any room
• They hide dirt and stains better than light colors
• They match with many other colors
• They work in both modern and classic homes
• They help rooms feel calm and peaceful

Navy is darker than sky blue but not as dark as black. This makes it perfect for window treatments that need to block some light without making a room feel too dark.

Types of Navy Blue Curtain Panels We Offer

At Dolcewe.com, we have many types of navy blue window curtains. Each type serves a different need in your home.

Blackout Navy Curtains

Our blackout curtains block almost all light from coming through your windows. They are great for:

• Bedrooms where you need dark for good sleep
• Home theaters where you want no glare
• Rooms that get too hot from sunlight
• Shift workers who sleep during the day
• Nurseries for baby nap times

The blackout fabric we use stops 99% of light. It also helps keep your room warm in winter and cool in summer.

Room Darkening Navy Drapes

Room darkening curtains are a step down from full blackout. They block most light but not all of it. These are perfect for:

• Living rooms where you want less glare on TV screens
• Offices where you need to control screen glare
• Bedrooms where you want some morning light
• Rooms that need more privacy

The difference between blackout and room darkening is about 10-20% in terms of light blocked.

Sheer Navy Curtains

For a lighter look, our sheer navy curtains let in soft, filtered light. They give you:

• Daytime privacy while still letting in sunshine
• A soft blue glow in your room
• Less heat and UV protection than thicker curtains
• A breezy, light feeling

Sheer curtains work well layered with thicker drapes for a complete window treatment system.

Thermal Navy Blue Curtains

Our thermal curtains help control your home's temperature. They can:

• Keep warm air inside during cold months
• Block hot air in summer
• Lower your energy bills
• Reduce noise from outside
• Come in both blackout and non-blackout options

Fabric Choices for Navy Blue Curtains

The textile you choose affects how your curtains look, feel, and work. Here are our most popular fabrics:

Curtain Styles and Headers

The top of your curtain, called the header, affects how it hangs and looks. We offer these styles:

Grommet Top Navy Curtains

Grommet curtains have metal rings at the top. They slide easily on curtain rods. They make neat, even folds when closed. These give a modern look to any room.

Back Tab Navy Curtains

Back tab styles hide the curtain rod for a cleaner look. The curtain rod goes through fabric loops on the back of the header. This style works well in bedrooms and living rooms.

Rod Pocket Navy Drapes

This classic style has a sleeve at the top. The curtain rod slides through this pocket. They give a gathered, soft look that works in most homes.

Pinch Pleat Navy Curtains

For a more formal look, pleated curtains have neat, stitched pleats. These work well in dining rooms and formal living rooms.

Navy Blue Curtains for Different Rooms

Each room has special needs for curtains. Let's look at how navy blue works in each space.

Navy Curtains for Bedrooms

Your bedroom needs curtains that help you sleep well. Navy is perfect for this because:

• It blocks light well, even in lighter fabrics
• It creates a calm feeling that helps with sleep
• It works with many bedroom color schemes
• It hides stains and dust better than light colors

We suggest blackout navy curtains for the best sleep. They help keep out early morning light and street lights.

Navy Blue Curtains for Living Rooms

In the living room, navy curtains add style while being useful. They:

• Reduce glare on TV and device screens
• Add a touch of color without being too bold
• Frame your windows nicely
• Work with both modern and classic decor

For living rooms, room darkening or medium-weight fabrics often work best.

Navy Drapes for Dining Rooms

Navy blue drapes in dining rooms create a formal, elegant feeling. They add:

• A touch of class to meal times
• Good backdrop for table settings
• Color that works with most dining sets
• Drama when you want a special feeling

For dining rooms, consider linen or velvet navy curtains for added texture.

Navy Blue Curtains for Home Offices

If you work from home, navy curtains can help you be more productive. They:

• Reduce screen glare during work hours
• Create a professional background for video calls
• Help control light throughout the day
• Add a sense of calm to your work space

How to Measure for Custom Navy Blue Curtains

Getting the right size is key to good looking curtains. Here's how to measure:

For Curtain Width:

1. Measure your window width from outside the frame.
2. Add 8-12 inches on each side for better coverage
3. And then choose 1.5x or 2x fullnes based on your preferences and budgets
4. For blackout needs, add even more overlap.

For example: If your window is 36 inches wide, get curtains that are at least 52-60 inches wide.

For Curtain Length:

1. Decide where you'll put the curtain rod (usually 4-6 inches above the window).
2. Measure from the rod to where you want curtains to end.
3. Common end points are: just above floor, touching floor, or pooling on floor.

For the most custom look, we make curtains to your exact inch measurements.

Color Schemes That Work With Navy Blue

Navy blue is a friendly color that works with many other colors. Here are some great pairs:

• Navy + White: Clean, classic look for any room
• Navy + Gray: Modern and sophisticated
• Navy + Gold: Rich and elegant for formal spaces
• Navy + Pink: Fresh and unexpected, good for bedrooms
• Navy + Green: Natural feeling, like the sea and trees
• Navy + Yellow: Bright and cheerful contrast

How to Care for Your Navy Blue Curtains

To keep your navy curtains looking good for years:

1. Check the care tag for specific instructions.
2. Most polyester curtains can be machine washed on gentle.
3. Cotton and some blends may be washable too.
4. Linen, silk, and velvet often need dry cleaning.
5. Always close curtains fully when washing to prevent uneven fading.
6. Hang to dry or tumble on low heat.
7. Iron on low if needed, or steam to remove wrinkles.

All our curtains come with care instructions. Most of our navy blue curtain panels are easy to clean at home.

The Benefits of Navy vs. Black Curtains

Some people can't decide between navy and black curtains. Here's why navy often wins:

• Navy feels warmer and less harsh than black
• Navy shows less dust and pet hair
• Navy works with more color schemes
• Navy can feel both classic and modern
• Navy creates a cozy feel that black sometimes lacks

While black can be sleek and modern, navy gives you the same drama with more warmth.

Navy Blue Curtains and Energy Savings

Good curtains do more than look nice. They save you money! Thermal insulation in curtains helps:

• Keep warm air inside during winter
• Block hot sun in summer
• Reduce your heating and cooling bills
• Create a more energy efficient home

Our heavier navy blue drapes can cut energy costs by up to 25% in some homes.

Finding the Perfect Navy Blue Shade

Not all navy blues are the same. Some lean more toward:

• Deep midnight blue (almost black)
• Royal navy (classic, true navy)
• Indigo navy (with purple tones)
• Denim navy (more casual looking)

At Dolcewe.com, we can send you fabric samples before you buy. This helps you match your exact hue and color needs.

Hardware for Navy Blue Curtains

The rod and hardware you choose matter too. For navy curtains, these options work well:

• Gold or brass rods: Create a rich, classic contrast
• Silver or chrome: Give a cool, modern feel
• Black rods: Blend with the dark curtains for a seamless look
• White rods: Pop against the navy for a fresh contrast

Don't forget tiebacks to hold curtains open. These add a finished touch to your window treatment.
