Hebden Cotton Printed Eyelet Curtains - Forest

The Hebden is a pair of eyelet curtains cut from a printed cotton face, worked in a slim vertical stripe of forest green against a soft off-white ground. The stripe is the point of it: narrow, evenly spaced and gently irregular in the way a printed cotton stripe is, so it reads as relaxed rather than crisp. The face is 100% cotton, a natural fibre that hangs with weight and folds into deep, soft pleats, and the pair carries a blackout lining behind the print to hold the daylight out.

These suit a bedroom first, where the blackout lining earns its place by keeping early light at bay until you choose to let it in, and they sit just as well in a living room or dining room where you want a softer, more informal window than a plain panel gives. The green-on-cream stripe is a quiet pattern that works with painted walls in warm neutrals, with natural wood and with the greens and creams you already have in a room. The black eyelet header threads straight onto a pole and gathers into an even, rounded wave, which is the simplest heading to hang and to draw.

The face is pure cotton, which is what gives the fabric its handle and its matt finish; the reverse carries a polyester lining with an acrylic backing, and it is that layer doing the blackout work. Cotton on the face means the curtains take a press well and hold their shape once hung. The pair is sold across a range of drop and width combinations, so measure your pole width and the distance to the floor before you choose. As a plain, striped everyday curtain, they pair easily with a mix of textures at the window and in the wider room.

Is this one curtain or a pair?

The Hebden is sold as a pair, so you receive two curtains in the size you select, ready to hang either side of your window.

Do these curtains block out the light?

Yes. Behind the printed cotton face sits a blackout lining, which holds daylight back and helps keep a room dark for sleeping.

What is the fabric made of?

The face you see is 100% cotton, a natural fibre with a soft matt handle, while the lining behind it is polyester with an acrylic backing.

How do the curtains hang on my pole?

They have an eyelet header, so the metal rings thread straight onto a curtain pole and gather into an even, rounded wave when drawn back.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your pole width and the drop from the pole to where you want the hem to fall, then pick the size closest to those two figures.

Will the stripe suit a neutral room?

The forest green stripe on an off-white ground is a quiet pattern that works alongside warm neutral walls, natural wood and existing greens and creams.
