The Ultimate Blackout Plain Woven Eyelet Curtains - Natural

These are blackout eyelet curtains sold as a pair, made from a textured woven polyester face over a hidden blackout interlining. The fabric is described as fully blocking light, which is the reason to choose them over a lighter curtain: they are built to darken a room rather than simply dress the window. The colour is a warm natural cream, a soft neutral that reads gently in the room shots and pairs comfortably with wood, linen-look upholstery and muted greens. They come in a range of drops and widths, so you can pick the pair that suits your window rather than settling for one fixed size.

Blackout curtains earn their place where light control matters most. A child's bedroom that needs to stay dark through long summer evenings, a bedroom where you want to sleep past sunrise, or a room you use for daytime rest all benefit from a curtain that stops light at the glass. The neutral cream sits quietly against most walls, so these work as well in a calm modern bedroom as in a more traditional setting. In the styled rooms here they hang alongside natural wood poles and greenery-toned bedding, which shows how easily the shade settles into a relaxed neutral scheme.

The header is an eyelet top, which drops straight over a pole and forms even folds with no hooks or tape to fuss with; it makes hanging quick and gives a neat, regular pleat down the length. The fabric is double-faced, so the reverse looks tidy from the street as well as from inside. Polyester is a hard-wearing, low-fuss fibre that holds its shape and shrugs off creasing, which suits a curtain you want to hang and forget. Measure your pole width and your desired drop before choosing a size, since the pair should comfortably cover the window with a little gather to spare.

Do these curtains block out all the light?

The supplier describes the fabric as fully blocking light, with a hidden blackout interlining, so they are made to darken a room rather than just filter it.

How are they hung?

They have an eyelet header, which slides straight over a curtain pole and forms even folds without needing hooks, tape or a track.

What are they made from?

The face is 100% polyester with a 100% polyurethane lining. Polyester is hard-wearing and resists creasing, so the curtains hold their shape well.

Is this price for one curtain or a pair?

This is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to dress a single window with a curtain hanging at each side.

What sizes are available?

They come in several widths and drops, from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm per pair, so measure your pole and drop before choosing.

Do they look tidy from outside?

Yes. The fabric is double-faced, so the reverse is finished to look as neat from the street as the front does from inside your room.
