Hey Meghana! You can usually find some nice curtain options at HomeGoods. Try to find rod pocket panel that way they look more expensive. For affordable blinds, I would try Lowe's/Home Depot. Hope this helps!

As a rather recent arrival to the hot Texas weather here is what we did. All our windows received the cellular light blocking Levelor shades from Lowes. You measure and they cut so they look nice. We did a light filtering cellular shade for a transom window. Then we added thermal drapes in every room using decorative rods. They aren't always closed but are a real benefit when needed. Our house was a new build so it had the most energy efficient windows, insulation and AC unit available. I am happy to say the coverings have provided comfort and very reasonable electric bills.

Do you have an Ikea nearby? I have used the Aina linen curtains to the floor placed on one of their black metal rods. They hang beautifully and look classic. The prices are extremely budget friendly and easy to install. Just make sure to buy the rod, the brackets and the larger circular rings. I've used these in my mountain home and also a rental home and they look lovely.

If you also like blinds, and like a natural blind such as a bamboo roll up look, lowe's has a 40% sale right now on all brands. I'm placing an order today! All the best!
