Curtains for my bedroom?

I'm doing a bit of post break up redecorating and decluttering.

My lovely mum has helped me put some mock panelling up in my bedroom and paint it. The paint still needs touching up and some gaps caulking but it's looking pretty good so far!

I've got a new to me bedframe and some new bedding that's more to my taste than my exes.

We currently have doors in my bedroom and a Juliette style balcony so I need some bloody long blackout curtains for these. I've seen these curtains that are available in both pink and cream but I'm not 100% on them.

Has anyone got any suggestions that won't completely break the bank? I would not be spending over £60 preferably but can stretch to £100ish for something lovely I could use elsewhere. The curtains need to be 229cm drop and fit a 175cm double door/ window.

Your bedroom looks absolutely lovely!! How nice to make it 'your' room now - this is a fantastic idea.

I don't have specific suggestions but I think you're right to tie in the pale pink or maybe go for a neutral (beige/cream/taupe) to keep it a calm space as the dark headboard and strong green colour (lush!) are both quite strong. I wish I were as bold, I just neutral the hell out of everything then complain it's boring!

You prob already have had a look, but these are the places I looked when I got my curtains recently:
Ikea
H&M
Dunelm
John Lewis - look at sale / Anyday range for the more value options

No suggestions but if you use eyelet curtains. put the pole as high as possible to eliminate light leakage.
Terry's are usually good value.

I love that green. Do you mind sharing what it is.

You'd get more choice if you were prepared to buy separate black out liners. I've done this before, you hook them so I'm not sure if eyelets would work but it means you can get cheaper curtains. It's always worth a rummage in the Dunelm bargain bins if you're near one!

I have always loved the Sanderson floral curtains, you can find some on ebay but they'll probably be second hand
