The Ultimate Blackout Plain Woven Eyelet Curtains - Forest

These are eyelet curtains built around one job: blocking light completely. The fabric is a plain, textured woven polyester with a hidden blackout interlining, and because it is double-faced it presents a finished surface on both sides, so the outward view from the street looks as considered as the room-facing side. In the photographs the cloth reads as a warm olive green with a subtle woven texture that catches the light across the folds. This size is a pair measuring 229cm wide by 137cm drop, sold as two curtains, and the wider range runs from a 117cm width up to 229cm across several drops, so you can match the pair to your window rather than the other way round.

Blackout curtains earn their keep in rooms where you need darkness on demand. That means bedrooms first, and children's rooms in particular, where an early summer dawn or a daytime nap is easier when the light is genuinely held out rather than merely dimmed. They suit any room where a television or screen is watched in daylight, and any space you want to keep calm and shaded. The eyelet header slides straight onto a pole and hangs in even, rounded folds, which is the quickest of the heading types to put up and the tidiest to draw. The olive tone sits comfortably against neutral walls and warm wood.

The header is an eyelet top, so it needs a curtain pole rather than a track, and the ring spacing gives the regular deep waves you can see in the images. Polyester holds its shape well, resists creasing and is straightforward to live with day to day. Because this is a two-layer blackout construction, treat it gently and follow the care guidance on the label. The plain woven face means it works as a quiet backdrop, letting patterned bedding or a bold rug carry the room while the curtains do the practical work.

Is this really a full blackout curtain?

Yes. The record states 100% blackout, achieved through a double-faced fabric with a hidden blackout interlining that blocks daylight rather than simply softening it.

How many curtains come in this size?

This is sold as a pair, so you receive two curtains measuring 229cm wide by 137cm drop in total, one for each side of the window.

What kind of fitting do I need to hang these?

They have an eyelet header, which threads directly onto a curtain pole. You will need a pole rather than a track, and the rings give even, rounded folds.

Does the fabric look finished from outside the window?

Yes. It is a double-faced construction, so the outward-facing side presents a neat surface and looks as good from the street as it does from inside your room.

Will these curtains suit a child's bedroom?

They are well suited to it. Full blackout helps with early mornings and daytime naps, and the eyelet header makes them quick to hang and easy to draw.

Are other sizes available in this design?

Yes. The range covers widths from 117cm up to 229cm across several drops, so you can choose a pair sized to your particular window and pole.
