Description
The Dawn curtains are a pair of pencil pleat panels made from 100% polyester, woven into a soft-textured marl-effect cloth. The face carries a laminated blackout lining, giving each panel a 3-pass blackout construction rather than a light-dimming weave alone. What sets them apart in the category is that combination: a plain, gently flecked green fabric that reads as calm and modern, backed by a genuine blackout layer built into the panel rather than hung separately. They come in eight made-up sizes, from 117 x 137cm through to 229 x 229cm, so you can match a small bedroom window or a wide pair of patio doors.
These suit a bedroom where light control matters most, and equally a living room or study where you want warmth held in and glare kept off a screen. The pencil pleat heading gathers onto a standard curtain track or a pole with rings, as shown, so they work with the fittings most homes already have. The muted eucalyptus green sits well against grey and off-white walls, pale wood and natural textures such as rattan or jute, which is how they are styled here. Being a plain cloth, they give you a quiet backdrop rather than competing with patterned bedding or a busy rug.
The fabric is woven and reversible, and the blackout lining brings thermal benefit: the panel helps keep a room cooler in summer and holds warmth in through winter. Polyester is hard-wearing and holds its colour, and this cloth is described as resisting staining. The pencil pleat tape lets you adjust the gather to your track width before hanging. If you want to carry the look further, the range includes a coordinating Dawn reversible cushion for a sofa, chair or bed.

Frequently Asked
Do these curtains block out the light?
Yes, they carry a laminated 3-pass blackout lining built into each panel, so they are designed to keep a room dark rather than simply dimming daylight.
What heading do they have and will they fit my track?
They use a pencil pleat tape, which gathers the fabric and works with a standard curtain track or a pole with rings, as shown in the photographs.
What are the curtains made from?
The panels are 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that holds its colour well and is described here as not staining easily.
How do I choose the right size?
The width and drop are made up in eight combinations from 117 x 137cm to 229 x 229cm, and each figure is for the pair, so measure your track width and desired drop before ordering.
Will they help with warmth and heat?
The blackout lining gives the panels thermal properties, helping hold warmth in during winter and keeping a room cooler in summer.
