Best Black Friday Curtain Deals 2026: How to Save on Custom Curtains
Custom curtains are one of the biggest window treatments you will buy all year — and Black Friday is the one window where the discount finally beats the markup. If you have been staring at made-to-measure drapes for months, 2026 is the year to pull the trigger. This guide walks you through Joydeco’s two-phase Black Friday schedule, exactly which promo code to enter at checkout, and how to stack the discounts so you never leave money on the table.
The Short Answer: Buy in Phase Two, Aim for the $499 Tier
If you want the bottom line before the details: the deepest discount of Joydeco’s Black Friday 2026 event is 30% off on orders of $499 or more (code BF30), live from November 12 through November 29. Pair that with free standard shipping on every order over $99, and a typical living-room-plus-bedroom custom order lands well under what you would pay at a local workroom. If your windows are smaller and your cart comes in under $499, the no-threshold code NEW25 (25% off, no minimum) is your best friend during the main event.
The early-bird window (November 2–11) exists if you want first pick of fabrics and faster lead times, but the percentage discounts are shallower. Unless a specific fabric is about to sell out, you are usually better off waiting.
Joydeco Black Friday 2026 Sale Schedule
Joydeco runs Black Friday in two clearly defined phases. Knowing the dates matters because the discount codes change between them — entering the wrong code at checkout is the easiest way to lose 5–10% of your order.
Phase 1 — Early Bird (November 2 – November 11)
The early-bird phase opens the sale two weeks before Black Friday itself. Discounts are more conservative, but fabric stock is at its peak and production queues are short. This is the phase to shop if you want a specific limited-run fabric, or if your delivery deadline is early December.
- 15% off sitewide with code BF15
- 20% off on orders $449+ with code BF20
- 20% off with no minimum using code NEW20
- Free standard shipping on all orders over $99
Phase 2 — Main Black Friday Event (November 12 – November 29)
From November 12 through November 29, the stakes go up. This is the phase that includes Black Friday weekend, Cyber Monday, and the days after — and it is where the headline 30% discount lives. Stock is still healthy in most fabric lines, but popular neutrals begin to thin out by the final week.
- 20% off on orders $129+ with code BF20
- 30% off on orders $499+ with code BF30
- 25% off with no minimum using code NEW25
- Free standard shipping on all orders over $99

Why Black Friday Is the Best Window to Buy Custom Curtains
Custom curtains are not like off-the-shelf panels from a big-box store. Every pair is cut, sewn, and lined to your exact window dimensions, which means you cannot return them on a whim and you cannot wait until the last minute — lead times run two to four weeks on most made-to-measure lines. That is exactly why the November sale calendar lines up so neatly: order in mid-November and your drapes arrive well before the darkest days of winter, when blackout curtains and thermal linings actually matter.
Two other reasons the Black Friday discount is worth waiting for. First, made-to-measure pricing rarely drops below 20% for the rest of the year; the 30% BF30 tier is a genuine floor. Second, the free-shipping threshold ($99) is easy to clear with even a single pair of custom linen drapes, so you avoid the 25–40 freight surcharge that usually erodes online furniture deals.
How to Actually Maximize Your Savings
A promo code only saves you money if you pick the right one. The most common mistake shoppers make during Black Friday is grabbing the loudest banner code — say, BF20 — when a no-threshold code like NEW25 would have taken 25% off a smaller cart. Use this decision table instead.
Which Code to Enter, by Cart Total
| Your cart total | Early Bird code | Main Event code | What to do |
| Under $99 | NEW20 (20% off, no min) | NEW25 (25% off, no min) | Add one more panel or a set of curtain rods to clear the $99 free-shipping line — it usually pays for itself. |
| $99 – $128 | NEW20 (20% off, no min) | NEW25 (25% off, no min) | Free shipping already unlocked. Use the no-threshold code; it beats the tiered BF codes at this size. |
| $129 – $448 | NEW20 (20% off, no min) | BF20 (20% off, $129+) | In the main event, BF20 and NEW25 land close — check the final cart to see which is bigger. |
| $449 – $498 | BF20 (20% off, $449+) | BF20 (20% off, $129+) | Add a small accessory (tiebacks, holdbacks, an extra liner) to cross $499 and unlock BF30 next phase. |
| $499 or more | BF20 (20% off, $449+) | BF30 (30% off, $499+) | This is the deepest discount of the entire event. Order the whole house in one cart. |
The Curtain Types Worth Discounting This Year
Not every curtain category is equally worth a Black Friday discount. Prioritize the ones you live with every day.
Blackout Curtains
If you work night shifts, have young kids, or simply refuse to wake up at 5:30 a.m. in summer, blackout curtains are the highest-ROI window treatment in your house. Made-to-measure blackout panels with a proper acrylic foam liner block light, reduce outside noise, and cut heat loss through the window by a meaningful margin. The 30% BF30 tier is the best time to spec them for the bedroom.
Sheer Curtains
Sheer curtains are the daylight layer — they filter morning sun, protect furniture from UV fading, and give a room a soft, finished feel without blocking the view. Because sheer fabric is lighter, custom sheer panels are usually the cheapest made-to-measure line, which makes them the easiest add-on to push a cart across a discount threshold.
Linen & Textured Drapes
Linen curtains and textured woven drapes are the design piece of the three. They carry the room’s tone — oatmeal, greige, charcoal, sage — and they are the category where off-the-shelf sizes most often look wrong. Buy these in the exact length and fullness you want; the discount makes the custom premium almost disappear.
Order Swatches Before You Commit
Screen color lies. The oatmeal that looks warm on your monitor can read gray under northern light, and the linen texture that looks matte in a product photo can pick up a sheen in a sunlit room. Before you spec an entire room in a single fabric, order a few swatches — they are cheap, they ship fast, and they let you hold the material next to your wall paint, your sofa, and your floor lamp at different times of day. This is especially important for linen curtains, where the weave and the drape change everything about how the room feels.
What to Measure Before You Check Out
Made-to-measure curtains only save you money if you measure once, correctly. Grab a steel tape and write down, for every window: the exact width of the rod (not the window frame), and the finished length you want — floor, puddle, or apron. As a rule of thumb, order curtain width at roughly 1.5× to 2× the rod width for natural fullness. Measure twice; once your panels are cut, they cannot be exchanged.
Two measurements people forget. First, measure from the rod pocket or clip ring down to the finished hem — not from the top of the window frame. Second, account for radiators, baseboards, and window handles: a panel that stops at the radiator top reads as too short, even if the number on the tape looks right.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does Joydeco’s Black Friday 2026 sale actually start?
The early-bird phase opens on November 2, 2026, and the main Black Friday event runs from November 12 through November 29, 2026. Free standard shipping on orders over $99 applies during both phases.
Which coupon code gives the biggest discount?
During the main event (Nov 12–29), code BF30 gives 30% off on orders of $499 or more — the deepest discount of the sale. Below $499, use NEW25 for 25% off with no minimum. During the early-bird phase, the top code is BF20 for 20% off on orders $449+.
Should I buy in the early-bird phase or wait until the main event?
Wait, unless you need a specific limited-run fabric or an early-December delivery. The main event (Nov 12–29) has a 30% top tier versus 20% in the early bird, and the no-threshold code improves from 20% (NEW20) to 25% (NEW25).
Is free shipping really free on custom curtains?
Yes — standard shipping is free on every order over $99 during both Black Friday phases, and that includes made-to-measure panels. Expedited shipping remains paid, but the standard made-to-measure lead time already covers most December installs.
Can I stack two promo codes at once?
No. Only one discount code can be applied per order. That is why it is worth comparing BF15, BF20, BF30, NEW20, and NEW25 against your exact cart total before you pay — the difference between the right and wrong code is usually 5–10% of the order.
