The Ultimate Blackout Plain Woven Eyelet Curtains - Sage

These are eyelet curtains built to block light completely, sold as a pair in a soft sage green. The fabric is a textured plain weave in 100% polyester, and the character comes from the weave itself rather than any pattern; up close you can see the fine flecked texture that gives the surface its depth, while from across the room it reads as a calm, even wash of muted green. The eyelet header threads straight onto a pole, so hanging them is a matter of feeding the ring holes over the rod and letting the pleats fall.

Blackout curtains earn their place in rooms where you want darkness on demand. A bedroom is the obvious home, and a child's room even more so, where an afternoon nap or an early summer sunrise is easier to manage behind cloth that stops the light. They suit a nursery for the same reason. The sage green sits happily against warm neutral walls and natural wood, and in these photographs pairs with a bed dressed in soft yellow stripes, which tells you the colour is gentle enough to share a room with warmer tones rather than fight them.

The construction is double-faced with a hidden blackout interlining, which means the reverse looks as tidy from the street as the front does from inside, and the fabric hangs with weight and a relaxed drape rather than standing stiff. This is a range you can buy across a spread of drops and widths, so measure your window before choosing: widths run from 117cm to 229cm and drops from 137cm to 229cm, and a pair should comfortably exceed your track width so the curtains gather rather than pull flat. Keep the polyester weave clean and it holds its colour and shape well over time.

Do these curtains actually block all the light?

They are made from 100% blackout fabric with a hidden interlining, so they stop daylight coming through the cloth itself, which is what makes them suited to bedrooms and nurseries.

How do I know which size to order?

Measure your track or pole width and your desired drop first. Widths run from 117cm to 229cm and drops from 137cm to 229cm, and each order is a pair, so allow extra width for gather.

How do the eyelet curtains hang?

The eyelet header has metal ring holes along the top that thread directly onto a curtain pole, giving even folds and a quick install with no hooks or tape needed.

Will the reverse look untidy from outside?

No. The fabric is double-faced with the blackout interlining hidden between the layers, so the curtains present a neat face to the window from the street as well as the room.

What is the fabric like to the touch?

It is a textured plain weave in polyester with a subtle flecked surface, giving the panels a bit of depth and body so they drape rather than hang flat and stiff.
