The Ultimate Blackout Plain Woven Eyelet Curtains - Custard Cream

These eyelet curtains are built around one job: shutting out the light. A hidden blackout interlining sits between two faces of textured woven fabric, so the panels block daylight fully while looking finished from both sides of the glass. They are sold as a pair, in a warm custard cream that reads as a soft, oaty neutral in the photographs, with a faintly slubbed weave that catches the light gently rather than lying flat. The eyelet header threads straight onto a pole, gathering into even folds with no hooks or tape to fit.

We think of these as a bedroom curtain first. The full blackout makes them a sensible choice for a nursery or a child's room where an early sunrise means an early start, and equally for anyone who works nights or simply wants five more minutes in the dark. The neutral tone sits happily against painted plaster, timber furniture and natural-fibre flooring, and it works with pattern rather than fighting it, so a checked or striped bedspread reads well alongside. In a living room they draw cleanly for film evenings without dominating the wall by day.

The face is polyester with a polyurethane lining, the combination that gives the total light block; that also means they are hard-wearing and hold their shape through repeated drawing. Choose your size on the drop and width you need, then check the eyelet run suits your pole diameter before ordering. Because the header is eyelet, the folds fall the same way each time you close them, which keeps the panels looking neat with very little fuss. A plain, quiet curtain that does the practical work and leaves the styling to the room around it.

Do these curtains block out all the light?

Yes, they are a full blackout curtain with a hidden interlining, so they stop daylight coming through the fabric itself for a properly dark room.

Will they fit my curtain pole?

They use an eyelet header that slides straight onto a pole. Check the eyelet diameter suits your pole before ordering, as very wide poles may not pass through.

What size should I choose?

Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm per pair. Measure your pole width and the drop you want from pole to sill or floor, then pick the nearest size up.

Are these sold singly or as a pair?

Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to dress both sides of the window from one purchase.

What is the fabric like?

The face is a textured woven polyester with a soft slub, backed by a polyurethane blackout lining. It feels substantial and hangs in clean, even folds.

Are they good for a child's room?

Yes. The full light block suits a nursery or a child's bedroom where early daylight tends to wake little ones sooner than you would like.
