Yup. Although decent thick curtains may look better.

Curtains work on the highs, but they do nothing for the lows.

Depends how thick the curtains are. ;-)

And how far they are spaced away from the wall/window behind them.

My room treatment in my listening room is four inches of rockwool in
wooden frames, spaced a further four inches from the will behind.
Strips and patches (decorative) of flexible plastic stop the upper
frequencies becoming too dead.

Even after all this I had a slap echo between the hardwood floor and
the ceiling. A large, thick and dense lambs wool rug cured that. It
stopped the direct reflection from the floor in front of the speakers
and a hand clap no longer goes "spaaaaang".

Finally a pair of movable rockwool panels, thee feet by four go at the
side reflection points to give me an image that will let me pick out
individual instruments from a well-recorded orchestra.

Total cost of that lot? Something under 50 quid.
