These curtains are beautiful in person! The large print is perfect but it's not too busy or dated in any way. The print is muted so it's not as busy as it might look in pictures. I wanted something with blues and greys to go with the rest of my living room and these are perfect. Not black out but they are lined so they have a nice weight. I bought a second pair for my dining room. I'm really starting to love Wayfair and their great customer service!!
